Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650?

At 1440p Ultra, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 averages 18 fps in Escape from Tarkov, per GPU Battle. For local LLM inference it generates 180.0 tokens/sec running llama3.1:3b at Q4 under llama.cpp, per LocalLLaMA. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 9,203 points, per 3DMark. Its 4 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the llama3.1:3b run above (3B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
