GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q vs GeForce GT 1030 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics card is better than the GeForce GT 1030 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GT 1030 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 has a slightly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q at 35 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q is better than the GeForce GT 1030.
