GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q vs Radeon RX 580 2048SP comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 580 2048SP 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 Radeon RX 580 2048SP also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580 2048SP at 150 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q is faster than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP.
