welcome back to harbor unbox today I am once again comparing new geforce gtx 1650 against the Radeon rx 570 and I know I know I'm kind of flogging a dead horse at this point but this testing is going to be quite a bit different to the testing I've done previously now because these are lower end graphics cards they sell for between 100 $150 so that's kind of yeah that's sort of entry level issue anyway because of that I test them at 1080p and I've done so previously using high to ultra quality type settings in fact the only games that I haven't completely maxed out include Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Metro Exodus in most of the new games that I'm testing with currently the RX 517 GTX 1650 will good for over 60 FPS at 1080p using the ultra quality preset that's I know those of you with higher refresh rate monitors do like to keep the minimum FPS above 60 so ivory tested both GPUs using the higher medium presets and I'm interested to see if this changes the margins for example will it favor one GPU moreso than the other so today we plan to find out please note that when changing a quality preset the game was closed and then re executed to make sure the changes were applied so it was a very tedious process but I was interested to see the results so hopefully you guys will be as well as usual the standard GPU test rig has been used which comprises of a karo 919 okay clocked at 5 gigahertz with 32 gigabytes of ddr4 34-hundred memory and of course it is built inside the corsair crystal 570 ex ok without wasting any more time let's get into the results first up we have Assassin's Creed Odyssey and here we see pretty similar scaling performance within the 1650 and rx 570 dropping down to medium does seem like an appropriate quality preset for these GPUs and Assassin's Creed Odyssey as it allowed us to average just over 60 FPS now the battlefield 5 results are really surprising really strange even I retested the 1650 a few times to try and work out what was going on here but for whatever reason I saw almost no performance uplift when downgrading the quality preset from ultra then from high to medium the frame rates jumped by 23% so that was clearly some changes being made but it just wasn't as impactful as I would have expected and this means where is the GTX 1615 RX 570 were comparable using the ultra quality preset the RX 570 ran away with it when using the high and medium presets again this is really strange I'm not entirely sure if this is just a driver bug or if it's something more anyway I will keep an eye on it preset scaling and dirt rally to was pretty standard much like what we saw in Assassin's Creed Odyssey here the performance margins remained very much the same between the RX v 7e and GT x 1650 moving on we see much the same with the division to the margins remained very similar using the ultra high and medium quality presets naturally the frame rates did increase quite dramatically as we lowered the quality settings but the margins remained much the same and as a result here the RX 570 was 27% faster across the board the margins also remained very similar when testing with farcry new dawn here the RX 5-7 it was around 20 percent faster regardless of the quality preset used the gtx 1650 does fare a little better in Forza horizon 4 as we reduced the quality levels using the ultra preset the RX 570 was 26 percent faster then with the higher quality preset that margin is reduced to 21 percent and then 20 percent using medium not a massive difference but the 1650 did come back a little like most of the games we've looked at so far the margins remained much the same when testing with fortnight the one percent low performance for the 1650 does improve with the high preset but then fell away once again with the medium preset Metro Exodus which is an Nvidia sponsored title favors the radio and GPU much more we're using the high and medium quality presets with the ultra settings enabled the RX 570 was just 10% faster when comparing the four gigabyte models however that margin is extended to 26% with the higher quality preset maintained with the medium quality settings so basically the game becomes less game work see once you lower the visual quality settings the RX 570 enjoyed a 30% lead over the GTX 1650 in resident evil 2 when using the ultra quality settings that margin though is reduced to 23% with the high and quality presets when testing with Rainbow six siege we said the gtex 1650 and rx 570 are basically neck-and-neck when using the ultra quality preset speaking of which I just like to note an error in my day one gtx 1650 review I had the GTX 1650 beating the rx 570 in this title but after a retest that's not actually the case the performance for all other Radeon GPUs such as the rx 5 ad and 590 are correct so I'm not sure what happened with the rx 570 in the original test anyway that's been corrected now and as you can see with the ultra quality preset they're basically on par similar margins were seen when using the higher quality preset while the RX 570 does sneak away a little bit with the medium quality settings the RX 570 and gtx 1650 are fairly well matched and shadow of the Tomb Raider with the ultra quality preset enabled however once we drop down to the high preset the radeon GPU pulls ahead by an 18 percent margin and we also see a similar margin to that when using the medium quality settings last up we have World War Z and this is another big win for the radeon GPU here the RX 570 was 38% faster with the ultra quality settings and that margin was pretty well maintained with the high and medium quality presets as well so no real changes there with the exception of just a few oddities the GTX 16:15 rx 570 scaled very evenly across the range of tested presets now the battlefield 5 results they were a bit bizarre I suspect that some kind of driver issue like I said re tested a few times and the GTX 1650 just continued to produce bizarre results there so I'll keep an eye on that one and then the only other game was Metro Exodus and that one well that one went in favor of the rx 570 with the high and medium quality settings opposed to the ultra quality settings that we normally test at overall though as long as you're testing with more than just a few select games the quality presets shouldn't have too much of an impact on your findings overall so you should end up with pretty similar performance margins at the end of the day I have seen a few people complain that these budget mid-range GPUs shouldn't be tested using high to ultra quality type settings but as we've proven for the most part the margins don't change it won't impact the conclusion of course performance does depend on the game for example the second-highest preset in Assassin's Creed Odyssey so not the highest preset but dialing down to the second highest quality preset that still Saurus limited to about 40 fps somewhere in the mid forties but then you take Far Cry New Dawn Forza horizon for Resident Evil 2 Rainbow six siege and World War Z for example all of those popped out over 70 FPS on average using the maximum in game quality preset so I feel using lower quality settings with graphics cards of this caliber really isn't necessary as I said in a lot of the games these cards were pushing over 60 FPS so that is obviously plenty of frames and by using the high to ultra quality presets we do basically push them to their limits so if there's a card with a limited vram buffer that'll show some issues there and basically that indicates that the card may not be a great investment because of its struggling now it's certainly not going to be particularly handy in 6 for 12 months time something else too haven't really made mention of is the fact that both the four and a gigabyte versions of our X 570 were included in this testing and with the exception of a few ultra quality tests we saw no real difference in performance between the two and they were matched at the same clock speeds Assassin's Creed Odyssey and shut off the Tomb Raider saw small performance gains when using the ultra quality presets but beyond that all other tests were within the margin of error so I wouldn't go paying too much of a premium for that extra vram but if it's only done no 10 to 20 dollars more than ya get the extra memory because it will come and hand you down the track anyway that is going to do it for this one hope you did enjoy this benchmark video if you did hit the like button subscribe for more content and if appreciate the work we do or
