Performance: Radeon RX 590 vs GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER

The Radeon RX 590 and GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming.

Price & Value

Right now the Radeon RX 590 starts at $790 against $1,426 for the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 590 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 80%. The Radeon RX 590 still sits about $511 above its $279 MSRP. The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER still sits about $1,267 above its $159 MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER draws just 100W versus 225W for the Radeon RX 590, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 8GB against 4GB, the Radeon RX 590 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER's 4GB can fall short.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the Radeon RX 590 brings AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value, while the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER offers NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.

Which should you buy: Radeon RX 590 or GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER?

the Radeon RX 590 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER if you find it at a steep discount.
