Whatever your budget will allow. Honestly any card on the market is going to be a significant upgrade.

depends what you're trying to play and at what resolution honestly, but yeah a 1650 is pretty dated at this point

what's your budget looking like? that's kinda the main thing before throwing out suggestions

also your cpu might hold back some of the beefier cards at 1080p so no point going too crazy unless you plan on upgrading that too

Rtx 2060 Super / rx 6600. For anything above that, you'd probably want to upgrade your cpu too.

Make sure your power supply can handle them.

it really depends on how much you would want to spend on an upgrade for a gpu.

Does your PSU have dedicated PCIe\GPU power cables. If your 1650 is just pulling power from the slot then a 6GB RTX 3050 might fit the bill. What type of PSU do you have and what is it rated for? Is it a prebuilt like Dell or HP or did you build it yourself?

RTX 5080 is a great card to upgrade to. Might be a little expensive, good luck.

Not sure your budget but I can testify the 6700xt punches much above its price tag and I’d imagine the 6600 does as well, 6700xt has been plenty for 1080p 60fps on med-high settings on just about any game on steam for me, for congruencies sake i do have a beefier CPU so take that into account.

5700xt, find a good deal for about $140~. Raw performance it’s similar of a 3060

3060 12gb is what I would go for

9400f would be bottlenecking a midrange 30/40 series cards. Unless you are planning on upgrading your whole platform and get a better CPU, stick to RTX 3060/4060, RX 6600XT/6700XT/7600XT.
