GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 6400: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon RX 6400

The GeForce GTX 1650 and Radeon RX 6400 post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming.

Price & Value

Right now the Radeon RX 6400 starts at $174 GBP against $270 GBP for the GeForce GTX 1650. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 6400 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~55% 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 Radeon RX 6400 draws just 53W versus 75W for the GeForce GTX 1650, and it also delivers more performance per watt β€” so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern RDNA 2 architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Generation & Longevity

The Radeon RX 6400 is roughly 3 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1650 (RDNA 2 vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1650 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 6400 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 or Radeon RX 6400?

Choose the GeForce GTX 1650 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Radeon RX 6400 stretches your money further for near-identical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GTX 1650 better than the Radeon RX 6400?

They're very close on raw performance. The Radeon RX 6400 edges ahead on value, so price and availability should decide it.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1650 or the Radeon RX 6400?
