NVIDIA is upgrading its GTX 1650 SKU to GDDR6 from GDDR5 due to a supply shortage, which affords the GTX 1650 more memory bandwidth and a significantly higher memory speed.

This benchmark is a simple one: We only care about determining the differences between the GTX 1650 GDDR5 and GDDR6 models, and we're particularly interested in this from a clock-for-clock comparison. Manufacturers often change small components in their supply chain due to availability of said supply, and so they often don't like to specify every component on the board since it might change. One area this is very uncommon is memory, which is obviously key to the product's performance, as opposed to something like a thermal pad or thermal paste, or maybe a small capacitor somewhere. Memory changes often happen to down-cost a product, but can also occur when a particular memory generation is moving toward eventual EOL. In this instance, NVIDIA has publicly stated that the GDDR5 supply is drying up, and so it must move to GDDR6 to help keep its G5-spec cards alive. GDDR6 offers a major uplift in speed and, therefore, memory bandwidth, and so any GPU or application which becomes memory-dependent will benefit from the upgrade. NVIDIA also downclocked its reference clocks for the GTX 1650 GDDR6 models, which was likely in part meant to help keep the product stack segmented. In this instance, we're able to make-up for that loss with an exceptionally minor overclock to look at like-for-like GDDR generational results.
