In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 1030.

The GTX 1650 has a 158 MHz higher core clock speed and 24 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GT 1030. This results in the GTX 1650 providing 38.9 GTexel/s better texturing performance. 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 158 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GT 1030. This results in the GTX 1650 providing 25.1 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 GeForce GT 1030, 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 GeForce GT 1030.

The GTX 1650 has 2048 MB more video memory than the GeForce GT 1030, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 1650 also has superior memory performance overall.

The GTX 1650 has 224.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GT 1030, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1650 is massively better than the GeForce GT 1030.

The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra has 896 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 1030 has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1650 is 1425 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GT 1030 is 578. The GTX 1650 having 847 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 1650 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GT 1030.

The GTX 1650 transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GT 1030. This means that the GTX 1650 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GT 1030.

The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra requires 90 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 1030 requires 30 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the GTX 1650 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce GT 1030. The GTX 1650 requires 60 Watts more than the GeForce GT 1030 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1650 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GT 1030.
