NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 980 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER beats the GeForce GTX 980 in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER has a significantly lower TDP at 100 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 at 165 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is faster than the GeForce GTX 980.
