Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H better than GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST?

Yes. Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 3,448 vs 3,415 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is a 2021 card with FSR upscaling, while GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST is a 2013 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2013, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 7nm process instead of 28nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is about 107.1% more expensive on MSRP at $350 MSRP versus $169 MSRP, and you are getting 1.0% higher G3D Mark. GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST is 2013 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 3,415 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
