GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1650: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1650
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti is significantly faster, around 29% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1650. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti packs 2,816 CUDA cores versus 896 on the GeForce GTX 1650.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 1650 starts at $270 GBP against $700 GBP for the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1650 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~102% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1650 still sits about $121 GBP above its $149 GBP MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1650 draws just 75W versus 250W for the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, 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 980 Ti has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1650's 4GB can fall short. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti's memory is also faster — 337 GB/s versus 128 GB/s (384-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce GTX 1650 is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti (Turing vs Maxwell), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1650 or GeForce GTX 980 Ti?
Choose the GeForce GTX 980 Ti if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GTX 1650 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
