Benchmarking the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 Super 4GB against 13 modern and popular games (and one from 2019) using an average gaming PC.
Support Iceberg Tech: / icebergtech
Although not quite the last 4GB graphics cards ever to be released - the GTX 1630, RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT still regrettably exist - the GTX 1650 Super is a relic from the 2010s, a time where plenty of people would forgive brands for releasing a card with such a limited frame buffer. In 2023, the world of PC gaming is far less forgiving of 4GB GPUs. Can the 1650 Super survive?

@couriersix2443 8 ай бұрын

Well, to be fair the 3050 mobile performs about the same as a desktop 1650 (depending on its TDP of course, since some laptops can have a lower TDP/less capable variant, same goes for the mobile-only 3050ti). Speaking of the Ti variant, even under the best conditions it performs between a desktop RX 580 and 1650S. Nvidia really screwed entry level laptop users with those cards. Even the new 4050 mobile finds itself around the desktop 1660S & 1660ti (which is hardly even that large of a gap to begin with). You’d think with the crazy good power efficiency of the 40 series that a lower tier card with a low TDP would perform closer to older/more capable desktop cards that the rest of the 40 series on desktop wipe the floor with.

Part of the problem for 4GB cards I feel is that developers aren't really doing Low, Medium, and High settings but are instead relying on tech like FSR to achieve the same goal.

@voteDC 8 ай бұрын

@@nathaniel1207 4GB has had its day, on that we can agree and there's a reason for that. I just recently finally retired my GTX 970 after 8 years of service in favour of a RX580 2048SP in my Media/Office PC, where previously it had been replaced by a RTX 3060 12GB in my gaming PC. But it holds true that when you used to pick between Low, Medium, and High the difference was obvious. Now it's getting to pixel peeping because they need to "maintain their artistic vision" with upscaling picking up where previously they actually put effort into the lower settings. If they aren't going to make the low settings actually make a difference then why are they there at all. Just have an upscaling setting and be done with it.

@@nathaniel1207 I don't agree with this mentality. I think games should be more scalable. I get a new game needing more than 4 or even 8GB to show you the whole goodies and the nice graphics but i settings should be able to scale so a person can lower settings and get actually lower demands on GPU performance. If the gamer is willing to compromise and not have great visuals for some ability to play why not offer it? Right now you put a game at low settings and you look around to see if it is different than high so of course it is still going to need almost the same VRAM and performance from the GPU as it was from high instead of really going at lower tiers. It seems to me they do this because they simply don't want to put the work of creating such scalable settings. What Nvidia or any other hardware manufacturer has put out on the market is irrelevant to this. Just because Nvidia released some 8GB lower tier card doesn't mean that developers have to now make every game not scale down to needing anything less than 8GB.

@nathaniel1207 7 ай бұрын

@SIPEROTH The issue with that line of thinking, is that its not just Nvidia, AMD or game devs. its industry trends in motion, ones that have been present for over 10 years. 2gb cards lasted 4 years before 4gb cards became the minimum on new cards. those lasted 5 years before 8gb has become the minimum on new cards. now that consoles have had 8gb or more since the PS4 and XB1, and a majority of the PC market has 8gb of VRAM or more (Oct 2023 steam hardware survey), Game devs dont want to spend more time and money to try to cater to gamers who stubbornly cling onto obsolete GPU's. 8gb has become the minimum, and makes up the majority of both the console and PC market. Spending time on scalable settings and supporting older 4gb and 6gb GPU's is just not worth it, and its not hard to see why when you look at industry trends in the PC DYI market, and the console space. And if you still have a 4gb card, like a gtx 1650 or super variant, i'd reccomend the RX 6600 from AMD, they're $150 USD in the US, or if thats still too much, the GTX 1070 is a great option which packs 8gb of VRAM for less than $100 USD.

Maybe because I'm an older pc gamer, but all these "scares" of 2023 remind me of previous changes to gaming architecture. This has happened before when we went from the x360 to xbone era, and it's even happened before then. I remember when people were calling over 4gb of ram "unoptimized" and multi core a waste of time. Things will settle down a bit, and we'll have a 1060 or 1080 successor carrying builds for years to come again.

Great video! I'm very fond of the 1650 Super. I have several of them I got when a local graphic design/vinyl shop closed. They bought five HP desktops with i3 10100 CPUs and 1650 Supers. I was able to snag all five systems for $225 each. I have since repurposed one for an NVR for my security cameras, one for an emulation arcade cabinet, one for a backup Plex server (for when my Unraid server is down for maintenance or upgrades) and one for my mom. And then one just sitting there for parts if one of the others dies. They work incredibly well for each one of those uses. The 1650 Super and 10100 run everything I want to emulate all the way up to the Nintendo Switch. The 1650 Super is a great little card for many things. But modern gaming isn't one of them. Especially at the quality I want. But I'm lucky enough to have a gaming PC with a 7950x3d and 4090 for that.

I had a 1650S and it served me very well. If you're tolerant of low fps and settings it's a safe enough purchase if you're willing to play mostly older games but just a little bit of modern/AAA games and it should be mostly fine. I'd agree overall with the 1070 recommendation but TBF a lot of people considering a card like this probably have small systems and my old 1070 is massive, as I suspect many others are. Another problem I think though, is that (at least here in the USA) the 1660 and it's variants often sell for similar prices on eBay. And you get a fair bump in performance and 6gb of vram instead of 4. A 1660S would be a great followup to see the difference you get compared to this one. Great vid!

Id say the worst case of a gpu being bottlenecked by 4gb of vram is the rtx 3050 ti laptop in raw power the 80w version is similar to a gtx 1660 desktop but its much slower in many games because of 4gb while the 1660 has 6gb. Also 3050 ti has raytracing but its literally useless because it requires a lot of vram to run

This kinda is the reason I bought a 1060 6G Laptop when I needed to work 3D on the go, I needed bigger VRAM and it was cheap, 2060 laptops where almost double the price for same VRAM, and that's also the reason that laptop still can offer a lot of game, I even got some decent 4K gaming with FSR 2 (1080 to 4K) and believe me it looks brutal Still have to upgrade my desktop rig, bought 5600XT 6G when it launched and my man, that's still a beast of a card, but VRAM is it's biggest weakness. If it was at least 8GB I wouldn't be thinking of upgrading at all, the chip is still as powerful as a 3060

Yeah we have reached a time where the average vram needs in gaming have moved forward again... No matter the settings, Even base graphic level of games are eating more than 4G at least.. And even 6GB in some games (which is crazy). If you are gamer but don't just play older titles or weaker games, 4GB really isn't enough anymore.. And 6GB is the bare minimum you should rock with (even then you will still find yourself hitting a ceiling along the way).

It could be a suitable budget build part for say 6th - 9th gen i5's or any ryzen based cpu but it's not winning any medals except budget. As a first gpu in a budget build up I'd say it'll do, for a month or 2. 😆 But seriously, with the price of 1660 class cards and 1070's dipping below 100 if you get lucky, at this point it's most likely use is in a spare part ultra budget build, sub 200 class.
