Radeon RX Vega 64 vs GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX Vega 64 vs GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER
The Radeon RX Vega 64 is dramatically faster, around 56% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX Vega 64 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Radeon RX Vega 64 starts at $370 CAD against $460 CAD for the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX Vega 64 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 93%. The Radeon RX Vega 64 is trading below its $499 CAD MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER still sits about $301 CAD above its $159 CAD MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER sips power at 100W next to the Radeon RX Vega 64's 295W, and still leads on performance-per-watt — quieter, cooler, and gentler on your PSU. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon RX Vega 64's 8GB (vs 4GB on the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER) gives it more room for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative or AI workloads.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon RX Vega 64 (Turing vs GCN 5.0 (Vega)), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX Vega 64 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER or Radeon RX Vega 64?
The Radeon RX Vega 64 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.
