GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1060: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1060

The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is significantly faster, around 29% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1060. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER starts at $32 EUR against $326 EUR for the GeForce GTX 1060. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 1202%. The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is trading below its $159 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER draws just 100W versus 120W for the GeForce GTX 1060, and it also delivers more performance per watt — 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.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 6GB against 4GB, the GeForce GTX 1060 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER's 4GB can fall short.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is roughly 3 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1060 (Turing vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1060 or GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER?

The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 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 1060 if you find it at a steep discount.
