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.
