GTX 1650. But the line between GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 Super models is so thin that if you just glance at the differences, you might miss them entirely. Even so, this Zotac card does exactly what its name suggests it should: It performs better than a GeForce GTX 1650 and in some cases, AMD's competing Radeon RX 5500 XT (launching today), while performing slightly under what we saw in the GeForce GTX 1660. If you were considering the GeForce GTX 1650, the GTX 1650 Super is clearly the better buy, and it just edges out AMD's latest on value, if not absolute speed. It will get you to the midpoint of powering most games in 1080p at a frame rate above 60 frames per second (fps), so long as you tweak your settings accordingly. It earns a new Editors' Choice award for budget cards.Super-Sizing the Junior GeForce
The original GeForce GTX 1650 launch was, at best, uninspiring. The card was met on the whole with a lukewarm reception by review sites (including ours) for having meager overclocking potential, being a little overpriced versus relevant AMD Radeon cards, and, most important, posting speed results behind the curve at its price. The GTX 1650 Super starts at $159, while the base models of the standard GTX 1650 retail for $149 (with no word of a price drop in parallel with the GTX 1650 Super launch). Most third-party versions of the card go for anywhere between $10 and $30 above that.
