About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q4 2019 with a MSRP of $159. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU116) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1650 SUPER has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 1650 SUPER includes 1,280 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,530 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,725 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 1650 SUPER occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 1650 SUPER has the 119th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 17.42% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 18,224.5 score and $159 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 114.62. This is the 10th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon HD 6950M GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 6950M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Blackcomb) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The HD 6950M has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 115.2 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 6950M includes 960 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 580 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 50 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 6950M has the 328th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.34% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
