NVIDIA GTX 1650 Super vs AMD RX 5500 XT: Performance Testing Across 10 Games (PROACTIVE)edit
The RX 5500 XT is the clear winner here. It maintains notably higher frame rates than the GTX 1650 Super across all ten games tested. The gap swells to a significant 20-30% in the Navi favored titles in-line with AMD’s official figures. Considering that there is no RTX here, we have no reason to not recommend the 5500 XT over the 1650 Super. However, steer clear of the 8GB model which costs $200+. For that much, you’re well off with a 1660 or even the 1660 Super for that matter. Cheers!

Acer Nitro 7: A gaming laptop with thin and compact designedit

At 2.5kg, it isn’t the lightest gaming notebook, but fits easily into a regular-sized bag. Its edges are a bit sharp and makes carrying it in your hand a tad uncomfortable.
