Gaming performance benchmark leak shows the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 performing better than the GTX 1050 Ti and AMD RX 570

We recently reported on a leaked benchmark concerning the forthcoming graphics card from Nvidia, the GeForce GTX 1650. This card is part of the new GeForce GTX 16 series that is based on Turing microarchitecture but doesn’t feature the RTX technologies of the high-end GeForce RTX 20 series. The reported score of 3553 in the 2560x1440 Lite Quality benchmark was underwhelming, and it left the GTX 1650 behind both the GTX 1050 Ti and the AMD Radeon RX 570.

However, a new Final Fantasy XV benchmark has been posted, thanks to Tum Apisak, and this time the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 has shown some teeth. This latest test had the presets 1920x1080 High Quality, and the card (which according to Apisak is the desktop version) managed a presentable score of 3803. It helps to put that score into some perspective; the GTX 1650 is expected to be a replacement for the aging GeForce GTX 1050. That card currently resides at the lower end of this particular benchmark list with a paltry score of 2167, while the Ti variant does not fare that much better on 2757 points.

In regard to the direct competition, which for the GeForce GTX 1650 is expected to be the Radeon RX 570, things look even better for Nvidia. AMD’s card attained a score of 3001, although there is a record for an AMD Radeon RX 570 Series GPU scoring 3562, which is still behind the GTX 1650 though. The AMD Radeon RX 570 has 4 GB and 8 GB variants, depending on the AIB partner model. The GeForce GTX 1650 is expected to be released on April 30 with an MSRP of US$179.
