Fragz' verdict
The Radeon RX 7900 XTX absolutely dominates this comparison, leading the GTX 1650 Ti by a massive 1783% in GPU score. This huge gap is evident across all our GPU benchmarks, with the Radeon card delivering playable frame rates like 79.8 FPS in Earth II Vulkan and 101.6 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12, while the GTX 1650 Ti struggles at 6.1 FPS and 7.1 FPS respectively. The 7900 XTX also boasts significantly higher raw compute with an ALU index of 803269 compared to 74525, much more memory bandwidth at 122 GB/s versus 37 GB/s, and a generous 24 GB of VRAM compared to the 1650 Ti's 4 GB, which is critical for modern titles. Furthermore, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX supports ray tracing and mesh shaders, features not available on the GTX 1650 Ti, giving it access to more advanced graphical effects. It's worth noting that both cards have only 2 verified runs in our database, so the sample size is thin. Given the vast performance difference, the GTX 1650 Ti is only a viable option if you're on an extremely tight budget and plan to play much older or less demanding games, as it ranks 63rd out of 71 GPUs.

What the numbers mean
The GPU score is the graphics card's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the card in, and depends on processor, memory and storage. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
