GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 970: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 970
The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is dramatically faster, around 43% ahead of the GeForce GTX 970. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce GTX 970 currently lists from $237 GBP, $181 GBP less than the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER at $419 GBP. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 970 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~23% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 970 is trading below its $329 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER still sits about $260 GBP above its $159 GBP MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 100W against 145W, the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. 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 970's memory is faster — 224 GB/s versus 192 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — 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 970 (Turing vs Maxwell), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 970 or GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER?
Choose the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GTX 970 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
