In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX 560D 2GB.
The GTX 1650 has a 320 MHz higher core clock speed and the same number of Texture Mapping Units as the RX 560D. This results in the GTX 1650 providing 18 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 320 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Render Output Units than the RX 560D. This results in the GTX 1650 providing 27.7 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 RX 560D, 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 RX 560D.
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 GTX 1650 has 2048 MB more video memory than the RX 560D, 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 256.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 560D, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1650 is massively better than the RX 560D.
Both the GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra and the Radeon RX 560D 2GB have 896 Shader Processing Units. While the two GPUs have the same number of SPUs, the actual performance delivered by the GTX 1650 is 1425 and by the RX 560D is 699. Knowing that the shader performance of the GTX 1650 is superior, it is not necessary to examine the GPUs' respective Texture and Pixel Fill Rates.
The GTX 1650 transistor size technology is 2 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RX 560D. This means that the GTX 1650 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RX 560D.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra requires 90 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 560D 2GB requires 75 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the GTX 1650 and a PSU with at least 350 Watts for the RX 560D. The GTX 1650 requires 15 Watts more than the RX 560D to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GTX 1650 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the RX 560D.

Mini Review | Overview The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra is an Nvidia GeForce low-end graphics card which launched in April 2020. The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra is designed to compete against AMD's more affordable gaming cards such as the RX 550 and the RX 560, and replaces the outgoing GTX 1050. This is a daul-slot graphics card which connects to the rest of the system using a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Architecture The Turing Architecture aims for 30-50% as much performance as the previous-gen Pascal Architecture. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed Turing T106, more specifically a TU106-125, which has 14 SM activated and thus 896 Shader Processing Units, 56 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1410 MHz and goes up to 1590 MHz with the Boost Clock. Memory The GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of fast GDDR6, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the memory clock operates at 2000 MHz (8GHz effective). Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 90W, it relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra will enable low to mid-level graphics performance on modern AAA 2020 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 50+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card has slightly faster performance than the GTX 1050 Ti. System Suggestions The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080, so our recommendation would be to use 1920x1080 in order to get the most out of your settings. We recommend a high-end processor such as the i5-8400 and 8GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview Radeon RX 560D 2GB is a middle-class graphics card based on the third revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Architecture It equips a GPU codenamed Polaris 10 which is a 1st gen Polaris GPU, offering 896 Shader Processing Units, 48 TMUs and 16 ROPs. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, it requires at least a 350W PSU and relies entirely on the PCI slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance This graphics card is rebrand of the Radeon RX 460 and was designed and marketed towards cryptocurrency miners and low to mid-end gaming. A light weight, small form factor GPU solution that offers mobility, so that gamers travelling to events can bring a smaller cheaper gaming rig. The Radeon RX 560D 2GB can play most modern games at medium graphics selection on a 1600p screen res and expect around 45+FPS. THe low TDP makes it a cost effective choice for cryptocurrency miners. System Suggestions Radeon RX 460 2GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1600x900. We recommend a mid range CPU and 8GB of system memory for optimal performance. |
