What does this comparison mean?
Moving from GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 to RTX 3050 8GB increases the recorded result from 67 to 102 FPS and graphics memory from 4GB to 8GB. The uplift is 52.2% in this workload with 4GB more capacity; the benchmark cannot tell us how much of the difference comes from memory rather than the rest of the GPU.
GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 has 4GB and RTX 3050 8GB has 8GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6
The GTX 1650 GDDR6 refresh appeared in April 2020 with 4GB of graphics memory. It is a separate entry from the original GDDR5 GTX 1650; check the memory type as well as the model name.
RTX 3050 8GB
The desktop RTX 3050 launched in January 2022 with Ampere architecture and 8GB of GDDR6. This row does not cover the separate 6GB version.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 uses the 55-card GeForce GTX 1650 4GB family total; GPUsed has not split it by this exact variant. Full benchmark method.
