Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4080 is the clear winner here, leading the GTX 1650 Ti by a massive 1343.1% in GPU score, though we note the GTX 1650 Ti results are based on a thin sample of only two verified runs. This huge performance gap is evident across all our GPU tests, with the RTX 4080 delivering significantly higher frame rates like 62.9 FPS in Earth II Vulkan and 77.9 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12, compared to the 6.1 FPS and 7.1 FPS respectively from the GTX 1650 Ti. Backing this up, the RTX 4080 boasts a much higher raw compute (ALU index 539839 vs 74525), vastly superior memory bandwidth of 195 GB/s, and 16 GB of VRAM, enabling far better performance at higher resolutions and settings. Furthermore, the RTX 4080 supports both ray tracing and mesh shaders, features unavailable on the GTX 1650 Ti, which means a modern gaming experience with advanced visual effects. For any serious gaming, the RTX 4080 is the only viable choice here.

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
