It’s been a while since we have tested AMD GPUs and it’s nice for them to get back in the mobile GPU game. The Radeon RX 5300M that we will show off today, already had its first victory in the comparisons, and it was against both versions of the GTX 1650.
For today, we will up the challenge a little, by taking the GTX 1650 Ti, to see if the AMD GPU can replicate its success from before and take another win home. This should be a pretty close comparison, which might give us the budget laptop graphics champion.
Today we are comparing the AMD Radeon RX 5300M against the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti (Laptop, 50W, 128-bit).

Conclusion
Overall, the GTX 1650 Ti was the better GPU in this comparison. It scored higher in two out of the three tests and had higher FPS numbers in most of the games in the gaming tests section. Now, the leads weren’t that big, so the RX 5300M is still a good option, and since it is quite new in the market, we can only expect better optimization in the future, which should further improve its performance.
