In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 580 XFX GTR XXX 8GB are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 EVGA XC Ultra Black Gaming 4GB.
The GTX 1650 has a 228 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 580, but the RX 580 has 88 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1650. As a result, the RX 580 exhibits a 97.8 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 1650. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 1650 has a 228 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 580 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 1650 providing 7.3 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 1650 was released over a year more recently than the RX 580, and so the GTX 1650 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the RX 580.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The RX 580 has 4096 MB more video memory than the GTX 1650, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the RX 580 also has superior memory performance overall.
The RX 580 has 127.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1650, which means that the memory performance of the RX 580 is massively better than the GTX 1650.
The GeForce GTX 1650 EVGA XC Ultra Black Gaming 4GB has 896 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX 580 XFX GTR XXX 8GB has 2304. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1650 is 1492 and the actual shader performance of the RX 580 is 3147. The RX 580 having 1655 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RX 580 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 1650.
The GTX 1650 transistor size technology is 2 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RX 580. This means that the GTX 1650 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RX 580.
The GeForce GTX 1650 EVGA XC Ultra Black Gaming 4GB requires 75 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 580 XFX GTR XXX 8GB requires 150 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GTX 1650 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the RX 580. The RX 580 requires 75 Watts more than the GTX 1650 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 580 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 1650.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce GTX 1650 is an Nvidia GeForce low-end graphics card which launched in April 2019. The GeForce GTX 1650 EVGA XC Ultra Black Gaming 4GB is designed to compete against AMD's more affordable gaming cards such as the RX 550 and the RX 560, and replaces the outgoing GTX 1050. This is a 2.75-slot graphics card which connects to the rest of the system using a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. The GeForce GTX 1650 EVGA XC Ultra Black Gaming 4GB features a dual-fan cooling solution, all-metal backplate, and EVGA Precision X1. This graphics card has above average overclocking potential. Architecture The Turing Architecture aims for 30-50% as much performance as the previous-gen Pascal Architecture. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed Turing TU117, more specifically a TU117-300-A1, which has 14 SM activated and thus 896 Shader Processing Units, 56 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1485 MHz and goes up to 1665 MHz with the Boost Clock, the same speed as the reference model. Memory The GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the memory clock operates at 2000 MHz (8GHz effective). Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, an additional 6-pin power connector is required. It is recommended you have a 300W or greater Power Supply Unit (PSU). Performance The GeForce GTX 1650 EVGA XC Ultra Black Gaming 4GB will enable low to mid-level graphics performance on modern AAA 2019 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 50+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card has slightly faster performance than the GTX 1050 Ti. System Suggestions The GeForce GTX 1650 EVGA XC Ultra Black Gaming 4GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080, so our recommendation would be to use 19200x1080 in order to get the most out of your settings. We recommend a high-end processor such as the i5-8400 and 8GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview First off we should point out that this is not the new AMD Vega graphics card line. The new AMD Radeon RX 500 series are an uprated version of the RX 400 series that they are replacing. This XFX RX 580 GTR XXX graphics card is one of the two more powerful models from the new AMD Radeon RX 500 Series. This RX 580 is the 8GB version and there is also the lower VRAM version, RX580 4GB available. Architecture It equips a GPU codenamed Polaris 20 XTX, which has 2304 shader processing units, 144 TMUs and 32 ROPs. GPU The Radeon RX 580 XFX GTR XXX 8GB central processing unit runs at 1257MHz and goes up to a top 1366MHz when in boost and turbo mode with the reference RX 580 card's boost is 1340MHz. Memory The GPU accesses a 8GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock operates at 2000MHz. Power Consumption The RX 580 8GB has a power TDP requirement of 150W. This means it will require at least a 500W PSU with one dedicated 8-pin connector. Performance Early benchmarks indicate that the AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB will be similar in performance to the Nvidia GTX 1060 in terms of gaming performance. This puts the RX 580 8GB about 8% faster than the model it replaced, the AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB. Comparing the RX 580 to RX 570 we see 1440p frame rates around 8-15% better with the RX580 version System Suggestions The new XFX RX 580 GTR XXX 8GB released on the 18th April 2017 and is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1440. We recommend a high-end processor, like the new Ryzen R5 and at least 8GB of RAM for optimal gaming performance. | |||
