[FPS Benchmarks] Dota 2 on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 [40W and 50W] – suitable for gaming on a 144 Hz display
Dota 2 and NVIDIA GTX 1650 – one of the most popular games since its debut in 2013 up to date and a common mid-range video card that is widely available in a lot of gaming machines. As with many modern GPUs, the GeForce GTX 1650 has different variants – the most significant difference is the TGP – you can find it as a 40W and a 50W GPU. Earlier this year NVIDIA refreshed the GTX 1650 with a low-power GDDR6 memory.
For today’s comparison, we’ve picked the two TGP variants – the 40W GTX 1650 has 896 shaders and GDDR6 memory, while the old one is configured with GDDR5 but at the same time, it has 1024 shaders. You can have a look at our detailed dedicated articles regarding the GeForce GTX 1650 [40W] and GeForce GTX 1650 [50W]. Without further ado, let’s see which one is faster when it comes to Dota 2.

Synthetic benchmarks
Results are from the 3DMark: Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the Unigine Heaven 4.0 benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the Unigine Superposition benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Gaming tests and gameplay videos (ext. monitor)
| DOTA 2 | Full HD, Low (Check settings) | Full HD, Medium (Check settings) | Full HD, High (Check settings) | Full HD, Ultra (Check settings) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce GTX 1650 [40W] | 196 fps (+18%) | 159 fps (+19%) | 129 fps (+3%) | 103 fps |
| GeForce GTX 1650 [50W] | 166 fps | 134 fps | 125 fps | 106 fps (+3%) |
Verdict
Interestingly enough, the GeForce GTX 1650 [40W] has the upper hand in Low, Medium, and High settings. While the GeForce GTX 1650 [50W] is a bit faster (3%) when it comes to Ultra settings. This was a bit of a surprise for us because the 50W version has a bigger TGP (its core boosts higher than the 40W version) and more CUDA cores. Probably Dota 2 “likes” the low-power GDDR6 memory (perhaps it has different timing as well) that the GeForce GTX 1650 [40W] has.
Both video cards are suitable for gaming on a 144Hz display (right now we are talking about Dota 2 only) but the 40W variant is a bit better choice when it comes to performance.
