In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra.
The GeForce RTX 2080 has a 105 MHz higher core clock speed and 128 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1650. This results in the GeForce RTX 2080 providing 199.8 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 GeForce RTX 2080 has a 105 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the GTX 1650. This results in the GeForce RTX 2080 providing 51.9 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 RTX 2080, 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 RTX 2080.
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 GeForce RTX 2080 has 4096 MB more video memory than the GTX 1650, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GeForce RTX 2080 also has superior memory performance overall.
The GeForce RTX 2080 has 191.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1650, which means that the memory performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 is massively better than the GTX 1650.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra has 896 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2080 has 2944. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1650 is 1425 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 is 5299. The GeForce RTX 2080 having 3874 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GeForce RTX 2080 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 1650.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra requires 90 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2080 requires 215 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the GTX 1650 and a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the GeForce RTX 2080. The GeForce RTX 2080 requires 125 Watts more than the GTX 1650 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GeForce RTX 2080 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 1650.

| 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 The GeForce RTX 2080 is a High-End Graphics Card based on the Turing Architecture. This card has also been rumoured to be called the GeForce GTX 2080 or the GeForce GTX 1180. Architecture It equips a Turing GPU Codenamed GT104 which is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 20 SM activated, offering 2944 Shader Processing Units, 184 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. It also has 368 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU Name: TU104-400A-A1 GPU The central unit runs at 1515MHz and goes up to 1800MHz in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of Second Gen GDDR6 through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. Total memory bandwidth is 448 Gb/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 215W, it requires at least a 650W PSU with available 8-pin + 6-pin power connector. Performance Predicted performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 suggests it will be faster than the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti, making it a suitable graphics card for 4K gaming. System Suggestions GeForce RTX 2080 is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a High-End Processor and 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | |||
