GTX 1650 Super vs RX 5500 XT: 2020 update!

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint is an online tactical shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Paris and published by Ubisoft. The game was released worldwide on 4 October 2019, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, (Wikipedia).

We test using the High preset, with AA disabled, DX11 API.

Things get very interesting in Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Despite the 4GB GTX 1650 Super doing well at 1080p – granted, the 8GB 5500 XT is still 7% faster – we see significant performance drop off from the 4GB 5500 XT, as it comes in almost 25% slower than the 1650 Super, with pretty poor 1% low performance. It seems the game definitely wants more than 4GB VRAM, but the Navi GPU pays a significantly higher price for this than its Nvidia counterpart.

This is further demonstrated at 1080p by the fact that the 8GB 5500 XT comes in over 30% faster than the 4GB model.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
