Nvidia GTX 1650 neck-and-neck with AMD RX 580 in FFXV

[HEXUS]

That's at 1080p HQ. Performance drops off significantly in the 1440p 'lite' quality test..

"neck and neck with RX 580"

erm....

GeForce GTX 1650: 3803
Radeon RX 580 2048SP: 3827, +0.6%
Radeon RX 580 Series: 3962, +4.2%
Radeon RX 580 series: 4083, +7.4%

It's only neck and neck with a hamstrung RX 580 with >10% of its shaders cut off ... AKA a 570. The real 580s are clearly ahead, albeit not by a huge amount.

I'm glad that stupid 2048SP thing is coming back to bite AMD in the ass.

[PC-LAD]

you mean that rebranding they did for china to get more sales for a product that is the same price as a 570 in china if you shop in the right place

Also, lets not forget the fact that FF benchmark is notoriously NV biased, so NV GPU's will give better performance.

Matches both RX570 and GTX960, something seriously amiss here

[Usernamist]

I got my rx580 8GB for £180 on black friday. I'm sorta glad Nvidia hasn't decided to offer something better at that price point yet.

[SlickR]

FF Bench is NOT representative of ingame performance and it is extremely Nvidia biased.

[Cwood]

Please include Vega 56 and Vega 64 and Vega VII in your benchmarks thanks!

Who cares what Nv GPU does in that games vs what AMD GPU, that games was and is an absolute cluster for performance metrics, AMD knows this, Nvidia knows this and Square absolutely knows this.

Good enough benchmark for stability test and maybe settings optimizations but not ass fuel to demonize a product, no better than jumping AMD cpu in pretty much any Intel compiler based one.

There are very few truly platform insensitive (so it does not care what runs it, just how fast it is run, what quality it can handle without BS tricks to benefit them and screw others)

Misleading pro nVidia headline alert.
Grubby fivers changing hands down the back alley.

Now Kyle at HardOcp has left for pastures new there really is nowhere left that tells it how it is, unless anyone knows different?

Hardware Unboxed (youtube) and Techspot website (same guys).

Hexus is more of a tech lite community, I trust here too.

AdoredTV (tech rumours and speculation, in-depth analysis)

[colonelblimp]

Ah yes, forgot about those!

Was surprised to see RX 570 4GB cards are now £125, the 1650 had better be under £100 to be viable if it is struggling to keep up in a benchmark that favours Nvidia.

[persimmon]

ppl will buy it simply becuase its new and its nvidia . I presume it requires no extra power so they could produce a single slot and/or half height version.
Must try my gtx960 at 2556 x 1440 to see how it copes ...15fps ??

Depends on the game and settings, I was using an R9 285 on my monitor for some time and it coped surprisingly well. The Freesync helped though. But then I didn't expect Ultra settings.
