I just want to thank you for your updated review of the DDR6 because sadly in the USA I was not able to find the super edition or anything really comparable in the price range due to everything that's going on. I purchased this card as a replacement and I do like gaming but a lot of photo editing so your review definitely made me feel a little bit better about purchasing what I did especially considering the lack of options I'm sure we're all facing right now. It's definitely sad the way that the prices are skyrocketing on hardware right now but once again I love your videos.

[@Fender178]

Also another feature of some of the GDDR6 1650s is the improved Nvidia encoder for livestreaming/video recording with programs such as OBS. Some of the 1650 GDDR6 cards use the Turing encoder vs the older Volta. The 1650 GDDR6 cards that use the newer Nvidia encoder are the TU116 and TU106 cards.

[@rdp4079]

The original GDDR5 (and the first GDDR6) cards used the 200mm TU117 die. They had the 5th gen Volta encoder, and a TDP of 75w. On 6/18/20, they released a new variant of the GDDR6 1650 using the 445mm TU106 die from the 2070 that uses the 6th gen NVENC encoder and has a TDP of 90w. The TU116 die is used for the 1650 Super and 1660's.

It's the extra vRAM on the GTX 1060 6GB that gives the card an edge over the GTX 970 with its 4GB (or 3.5 depending on who you ask), with you being able to bump up the settings more and keep better performance.

Both GDDR5 and GDDR6 variants are great cards depending on the use... SFF builds especially with older workstations and all of a sudden you can run recent games with 1080p and decent framerates. Also in a used HP entry level gaming rig it runs with an i5 8400 and gets cyberpunk running with medium settings 40+ fps. What more to ask for?

My 5600XT can't even get those frames smoothly at 1440p. I'm planning on building a 60fps low-end gaming PC for the bedroom TV, and a card like this for a small form factor might do the trick.

[@OutlawedPoet]

@Anand Shah you're right, which is why I said it would be better to save up more money. the 1660ti is about 70-80% faster than the 1650 plus it has more vram for $130 more which is a steal IMO. if we're talking about the 1650 super, that might be debatable but I would still save up for the 1660ti or the 1660 super since they have 6GB of VRAM and are a bit faster. by the way, instead of a 1660ti, I would go with a 1660 super since the performance is near the same as the 1660ti and is about 40$ cheaper which is an even bigger reason to save up more for that extra vram and faster performance.

I have a GTX 1650 GDDR6 Version in my desktop I have the Palit Storm X GDDR6 version that has a 6 pin power connector which really helps out as that GDDR6 can push the 75w limit of a pci express slot and my card runs great and will happy boost itself to 1980MHz on the core clock while gaming also don't forget some of the GTX 1650 GDDR6 version come with the Turing video encoder VS the Volta video encoder in the GDDR5 version which really helps in video playback as well

I Use this card and love it, dunno why so many haters. 1st thing not everyone likes AMD cards, 2nd On a budget this card was def cheaper then the RX570 and 1650 Super (by $200) 3rd I wish people in there reviews would stop saying to avoid this card. Its seriously not even that bad and runs all games ive tried even high end. Its great if you play esports games too.

[@Vfl666]

the rx 570 is still better and 4gb is also not good anymore

[@Jaguarek62]

the super variant is much better than rx 570. I have amd ryzen, but amd gpu drivers are complete joke

[@yeahhbuddy3932]

Gotta admit though. Red dead 2 at 46fps on high is pretty good result for this card. Its not terrible.

the 1650 super is still a vram cripple and is 2 years younger than the rx 570.

[@asphere8]

When I needed a card for my Plex server for NVENC, this is one of the cards I considered. Ended up going with a 1660Super instead for the extra VRAM and the slightly faster Turing encoder than the Volta one this card has, but I can definitely see this being a solid budget card!

[@dougtemple8474]

I'm VERY curious to see if you can get your hands on a TU106-based GTX1650. It was launched July of 2020 and is based around a cut-down RTX 2070 core. According to Techpowerup, it still retains all of the Tensor cores and RT cores from its fully-unlocked version. All the cards based on this will have GDDR6 memory AND a 6-pin power connection, as this version holds a 90W TDP. Notable cards that have this chip include the Asus TUF GTX 1650 GDDR6 and the EVGA GTX1650 KO GDDR6. I'm mostly interested if this chip can support DLSS in supported titles, because if so, it could be a very exciting budget entry in order to use DLSS to hit playable framerates at 1080p in otherwise stuttery games.

[@MakoRuu]

Are you going to test Cyberpunk 2077 on modest hardware? Like an old i5 and a 750 ti, or maybe a 960?

[@jakob.k_design]

I chose the gtx 1650 Kalmax from palit (completely passive card) for my father as a stop-gap solution until rtx 30 last year. The requirement was at least 3 displays at the same time and ideally useable as a test card (so no power connecter if possible) for other systems and fairly cheap. He even used it to play some Flightsim at 1080p and to my surprise, it did better than i thought and the card stayed at 70 degrees. I was really surprised what 75w low-end cards can do by now. But in January I got an rtx 3070 too many (for just 650€) which he is using now. He got incredibly lucky with his GPU buying, without even trying.

[@BrucifyMe]

I've had a low profile GTX 1650 (GDDR5) for a few weeks now. I like building in SFF cases so it was pretty much my best option. WIth an i7-4790S, I get 120fps on Rocket League at 1080p. Killing Floor 2, 1080p, 40-60fps with nearly maxed settings + Nvidia Flex turned on. Bioshock Infinite at 1440p/60fps. Skyrim SE @ 1440p/60. Warzone at 1080p/60 even if by slightly going over the recommended VRAM usage. I think this card gets a lot of undeserved hate. Nvidia should've marketed this as only a low profile/sff card, as that's pretty much the only scenario in which it makes sense to go with this card. For regular sized builds, you'll obviously want a 1660 minimum, but I'm beyond happy with the performance this offers.

[@LinkNinjaMaster]

It's the end of May 2022 as I write this comment, and here in Mexico this is the only decent budget graphics card that I can find brand new. Currently around $285USD ($5,700 Mexican Pesos) and since I don't want to risk it with a potentially badly preserved second hand graphics card, I guess I'll go with this one.

[@baryonith]

[@SeriousGlitcher]

Seems like a solid low budget card or maybe for a budget 2nd pc for maybe the living room, I didn't expect it to be this good tbh but at the same time I'm not going run out and get one, my evga 1660 super sc has been doing very well & I'll be upgrading in spring when hopefully the nvidia 3k cards possibly get better stock & pricing, one can only hope

[@memeomeme8351]

I just got a GTX 1650 a few days ago- the Zotac with one fan. Very small form factor. Figured I'd drop a cheap card into my old prebuilt (had a 745 OEM which was not handling ANYTHING) to extend the lifespan while I wait for the market to stop being untenable so that I can build something more impressive. It does the job. I can play pretty much anything so long as I keep graphical settings low, which is what you'd expect. For anyone with a crappy old PC that needs a small, low power card that can be powered directly from the PCI slot, I guess I'd recommend this. Yes, it's underpowered for a modern card and at 230 quid it's more than I would want to pay for something of this power, but for old PCs with low power PSUs and cramped space, this is one of the few available options.

[@delayedcreator4783]

Which processor did you combine it with

[@papsi89]

I currently use a GTX 1650 low profile model in my 2nd PC. as I have a main gaming rig, and a streaming PC. the 1650lp in the streaming PC does really well, and I think is a good fit for it, since I mostly just use it as a daily driver PC while I'm not gaming, and it's also one of very few options for a slim SFF PC.

[@petenielsen6683]

AH! That is why the gold fingers come with covers now. My GT650 did not have one, but suddenly my Team Red 5500XT did too. And I was like "what's this plastic for besides being another piece of plastic to go in the recycling bin?" It is the REVIEWERS who needed it!

[@bidhanghosh1653]

This is exactly the video I was looking for.... thank you very much... really.

[@Sitharii]

we are talking about a *75watt* TDP GPU , so the bad/good point of view depends on the creteria each one is using. For example ,this card is *perfect* for people with crappy quality or very low-capacity PSUs . (Many customers who don't have a clue about building their own PCs ,and rely to 3rd people or local shops for choosing/building them a PC , they often fall victims of poor component selection , and the PSUs are the perfect example) ---P.S. The GTX1650 is around 15% slower than the RX570 , while consuming *less than HALF* the power while gaming *64watt Vs 167watt* (from @Techpowerup Palit GTX 1650 StormX OC review ). *So according to my own criteria that i set as a customer ,i don't agree with all those reviewers praising the RX570 , since for me ,an extra +15% for gaming performance isn't woth a +250% increase in power consumption*

[@Wusyaname_]

I think this card is very underated. This isn’t meant to be powerful, just meant to flex not needing and power connectors, and can be thrown into most systems

[@ThailandDantotherescue]

Its a great card for certain situations. Back in 2017 people bought pallets of hp desktops with ryzen 7 1700s, 16gb ram and an rx 550 I believe. They pulled the GPS to use for bitcoin mining and sold what was left. I got one of these without any GPS for 150$ and because of the proprietary psu had to use a GPS without external power. I got the ddr6 version on sale. I ended up with a great gaming pc for just over 300 bucks. There isn't a game it can't play if you adjust the settings properly. Honestly i don't need anything more powerful. I mostly play mad max, borderlands, and elder scrolls online... they all look beautiful and play at 60 fps minimum.

[@steavenapilado6703]

I just got a prebuild with an I5 10400f, a GTX 1650 (not super, sadly) and 16 gb ram (2666mhz) that cost about 649 Euros, do you think i got a nice deal? (Sorry for my english, I do not speak english as a first language )

[@beajayparker247]

I slapped a low profile version of the gddr5 gtx1650 into an old office PC that had a quad core i5 3470, and gave it to my friend as a birthday gift because she wanted to get into streaming. NVENC encoding, no external power connecter, and all it has to hit is 1080p60fps, so she just turns AA off and turns settings down just enough to hit 60fps wherever she goes. It still all looks fine on the viewing end of the stream, so it does its job really well. Not an amazing card. But it has its place.

[@LEK7686]

I've got the 2070 Mini version of this card & looks near enough identical, I believe Asus originally released it solely for Intel to use in their new NUC machines but since made them retail. Great cards for the money and handle the thermals well considering it's a Mini variant - but the card really only likes to be used in the vertical position and not in the standard horizontal config as such used in ATX cases. When placed horizontally, the fans really make some horrific catching noises when they are ramping up from like 500rpm - 2000rpm & only for a few seconds, the same goes when the fans slow down as well. Strangely and when in the vertical position which is 100% the time now (SG13 case), no strange noises from the fans at all.

[@deanchur]

The 75W half height versions are great for old office PC's; I've got one sitting in an SFF Optiplex with a 7th gen i7, 16GB RAM and a pre-installed 256GB SSD (with NVME and USB-C) for the same price as a GTX 2060. Runs mid 2010's games at 1080p great.

[@Dallen9]

Well for my PC the most powerful card I can get with unlimited budget was a Low profile version of the old GDDR5 1650. Luckily I don't play any high demanding games. Since I bought before the Gddr6 versions released I can't say any regrets so far. Unfortunately it looks like I won't be getting anything better till I build a new PC for at least another 4-6 months if Fortune falls my way. plus you can overclock these cards a bit for some extra frames giving you that stock 1650 super performance if you're lucky.

[@erisofterra8986]

I just bought an MSI ITX 1650 on ebay. Honestly the 75w version is pretty great! I am very satisfied with it. I mostly use my pc on a TV with 60fps refresh rate, and that distance makes some finer graphics options that take up more resources (fxaa, etc) don't need to be nearly as sharp and I won't even notice. The thing runs smooth and I have been playing (and even streaming) GTA V and having a blast. When I upgrade my PC with a 3060ti in, like, a decade, I am hoping to stuff this lil guy in a console-equivalent itx case with a ryzen 1200 I have hiding around my house somewhere.

[@RandomGaminginHD]

Yeah the 1650 is still a decent card, hopefully you can find a 3060 sooner than a decade though haha

[@therodeoexpert106]

The 1650 is my go to recommendation for someone who has a low profile case, as it's basically the best card that you can get in that form factor without going used, because some people want warranty or 3rd party can be sketchy sometimes, and it pairs really well with an old slim optiplex.

[@Josue31627]

I believe this is the strongest graphics card you can buy new currently that doesn't need an additional power connector, making it the most powerful card you can use in a lot of older used or budget systems that don't have a sufficiently strong PSU or a PSU that doesn't have additional cables, which is the perfect consumer target for this card if you're looking for something new or really need lower power consumption. Neat little overhated card imo. I hope the next gen brings us another connector-less 75 watter, those are a blessing for the right market.

[@neuideas]

Here in early 2022, the GTX 1650 is hovering around $300. The 1650 Super is selling for $400-500. I'm not a heavy gamer, and I'm not too keen about spending significantly more for a graphics card than a CPU, so $300 is about my limit. I have it paired with an i5 12600k (not overclocked) and 32 gigs of DDR4, running Windows 11. It's fine for my needs, and should last me a good while (4-8 years is my hope). I can always upgrade the graphics card along the way, should I have a need to, of course. Currently, you can get an RX 6500XT for a tiny bit less than a GTX 1650, so that would probably be a better choice, but when I first purchased my card, the AMD option was not to be seen. If I had waited a couple of months longer, I may have opted for it instead.
