Red Dead Redemption 2

In Red Dead Redemption 2 we are playing at 1080p with a custom “High” graphics setting enabled.  These are not the highest game settings the game supports.  Those settings are very much not playable.  Even at “High” settings, playability is on the border.

First, look at the performance advantage over the ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650 O4G GAMING.  The new ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650 SUPER O4G GAMING is a whopping 40% faster!  That’s a huge upgrade from the GeForce GTX 1650, even a factory overclocked one.

In fact, in this game at 44.4 FPS, the ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650 SUPER is on par with SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 5500 XT OC performance.  Both are very close in performance, with the ASUS card edging out by a couple of percent.

Then when we overclock the ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650 SUPER performance increases by 7% in this game.  It makes it so that the video card is faster than the factory overclocked SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 5500 XT 4G OC video card by 9%.

In Metro Exodus, we are running the game at the “High” setting.  Now, this is two notches down from the highest game setting.  However, we do have everything else turned on and at the highest values.  The game is really questionably playable at this level, we might opt to lower it to “Medium” for a much smoother experience.

Once again look how much of a performance upgrade there is from the GeForce GTX 1650 to the GTX 1650 SUPER.  The ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650 SUPER is 36% faster than the ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650, which is a big jump. 

The performance once again is on par with the SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 5500 XT 4G OC video card.  Technically the SAPPHIRE card is 2% faster, similar difference as the last game, but realistically they feel the same while gaming. 

When we overclock the ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650 SUPER performance increases by 11% in this game, which is a really nice gain.  Overclocked the ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1650 SUPER is 9% faster than the SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 5500 XT 4G OC video card.
