Value for money

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Technical specs

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	1280	16
Core clock speed	1530 MHz	405 / 475 / 535 MHz
Number of transistors	6,600 million	260 million
Manufacturing process technology	12 nm	40 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	125 Watt	6/12 Watt
Texture fill rate	138.0	4.000

Size and compatibility

Information on GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER and ION 2 compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
