GeForce GTX 1650 Ti vs GeForce GTX 980 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 980 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti has a significantly lower TDP at 55 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 at 165 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

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