GTX 1650 Super vs RX 5500 XT: 2020 update!

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an action-adventure video game developed by Eidos Montréal in conjunction with Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. It continues the narrative from the 2013 game Tomb Raider and its sequel Rise of the Tomb Raider, and is the twelfth mainline entry in the Tomb Raider series. The game released worldwide on 14 September 2018 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. (Wikipedia).

We test using the High preset, with AA disabled, DX12 API.

As for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, this game joins the likes of Breakpoint and Shadow of War, by showing us the 4GB 5500 XT suffering due to its memory limits, while the 4GB 1650 Super does noticeably better. The 8GB 5500 XT, for instance, is 13% faster than the 4GB model, yet 1650 Super is still 12% faster in turn. It appears to be another case where the Nvidia GPU does significantly better, despite sharing the 4GB frame-buffer.

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.
