NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER Linux Performance

Over the course of all the workloads tested on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER, it had an average power draw of 62 Watts and a peak of 98 Watts, just below NVIDIA's 100 Watt rating for this graphics card. The average power draw was comparable to the GTX 960 Maxwell but with a lower peak power draw and also noticeably better performance. The average power draw was aobut eight Watts lower than the Radeon RX 570.

Over the course of all the benchmarks ran, the ASUS TUF GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER had an average GPU core temperature of 56 degrees with a peak of 66 degrees.

When taking the geometric mean of all the OpenGL/Vulkan tests that successfully ran on all eighteen graphics cards under test, here is the outcome. The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER performance came out just ahead of the GTX 980 and GTX 1060 while delivering about 30% better performance over the GTX 1650 (non-SUPER) or 67% better performance over the GTX 1050 Ti Pascal and 84% over the GTX 960 Maxwell. The GTX 1650 SUPER came just behind the Radeon RX 580 in the overall performance, but depending upon the Linux games of interest to you, the outcome can vary depending upon RADV/RadeonSI performance factors. But for those looking to buy a graphics card for around $160 USD and don't mind the use of proprietary Linux drivers, the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER offers terrific value and is a very capable graphics card for those on a budget.
