Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4080 SUPER is the clear winner here, leading the GTX 1650 Ti by a massive 1283.1% in overall GPU score, though it's worth noting both cards have only 2 verified runs in our data, making the sample thin. This huge performance gap is evident across all our GPU benchmarks, with the RTX 4080 SUPER hitting 60.5 FPS in Earth II Vulkan, 76.6 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12, and 63.3 FPS in Earth II Landing DX12 Ultimate, while the GTX 1650 Ti struggled at 6.1 FPS, 7.1 FPS, and 10.7 FPS respectively. The RTX 4080 SUPER also boasts significantly higher raw compute with an ALU index of 488299 compared to 74525, much greater memory bandwidth at 189 GB/s versus 37 GB/s, and a larger 16 GB of VRAM over the GTX 1650 Ti's 4 GB, all contributing to its superior gaming performance. For a gamer, this means the RTX 4080 SUPER can handle modern titles at much higher frame rates and resolutions, especially with its support for ray tracing and mesh shaders, features the GTX 1650 Ti lacks entirely. Given the stark difference, the GTX 1650 Ti would only be a consideration for extremely light gaming or if budget is the absolute sole factor, but it will not deliver a smooth experience in demanding titles.

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
