While running the Gears 5 benchmark, the card was pretty quiet, only measuring 42 dBA on our scale, which is just 3 dBA louder than the system at idle when the card's fans are spun down. The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER SC Ultra has a six-pin connector and only needs 100 watts under load according to EVGA. Our EVGA GeForce GTX SC Ultra cards have modest power requirements, and pretty modest coolers as a result. The overlay doesn't show up in screenshots, so we resorted to taking a photo of the display to record our readings. We measured temperatures on the GeForces with Precision X1 and the Radeons with the Adrenaline 2020 Edition's Metrics Overlay. To test those three interconnected attributes, we plugged each card into our Intel Core i5-9600K platform and fired up the Gears 5 benchmark and the sound meter app for iOS on our iPhone 11 Pro, and it sat around 12' from the side of the graphics card with the side of the case off. Let's talk about three related topics: power consumption, thermals, and acoustics. This card is a pretty nice overclocker, all things considered. Just to make sure that we didn't run into some unusual circumstance when we were testing at default speeds, we re-ran the default benchmark and got the original 87 fps as before. While the gains still aren't in line with the 12% maximum boost clock increase, this card ran the Gears 5 benchmark close to 10% faster than the default configuration. On the other hand, the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5600 XT Gaming 6G went hog wild. That's not entirely unheard of these days, though, because graphics cards rarely run at their maximum frequencies when they're this busy because of power or thermal concerns. Starting at the bottom of the chart, none of the cards gained enough to leapfrog the next contender up the scale, and none of the gains really matched the percentages of the overclock. For the most part, performance gains were fairly modest.
