GeForce GTX 980 vs GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 980 vs GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER

The GeForce GTX 980 is significantly faster, around 20% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 980 packs 2,048 CUDA cores versus 1,280 on the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER draws just 100W versus 165W for the GeForce GTX 980, and it also delivers more performance per watt β€” so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Memory & Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 980's memory is faster β€” 224 GB/s versus 192 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) β€” which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is roughly 5 years newer than the GeForce GTX 980 (Turing vs Maxwell), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 980 or GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER?

The GeForce GTX 980 is the faster card by about 20%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above β€” particularly VRAM and power draw β€” and check current stock before buying.
