In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 16GB are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra.

The Vega Frontier has a 190 MHz higher core clock speed and 200 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1650. This results in the Vega Frontier providing 330.6 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 Vega Frontier has a 190 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the GTX 1650. This results in the Vega Frontier providing 57.3 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 Vega Frontier, 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 Vega Frontier.

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 Vega Frontier has 12288 MB more video memory than the GTX 1650, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the GTX 1650 has superior memory performance.

The GTX 1650 has 0.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Vega Frontier, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1650 is marginally better than the Vega Frontier.

The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra has 896 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 16GB has 4096. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1650 is 1425 and the actual shader performance of the Vega Frontier is 4260. The Vega Frontier having 2835 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Vega Frontier 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 Vega Frontier. This means that the GTX 1650 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the Vega Frontier.

The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra requires 90 Watts to run and the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 16GB requires 275 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the GTX 1650 and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the Vega Frontier. The Vega Frontier requires 185 Watts more than the GTX 1650 to run. The difference is significant enough that the Vega Frontier may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 1650.
