View GeForce GTX 1660 6 GB SUPER VENTUS Graphics Card GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB GAMING OC Graphics Card Edited by Sven Dupré, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, & Amy Buono, Rio De Janeiro State University, Brazil You’re also going to want to know how durable the product is, so here we’d advise taking a look at the materials that the Graphics cards are made from. Nvidia claims the GTX 1650 will be up to twice as fast as a GTX 950 and 50 percent faster than the GTX 1050, and that's probably a fair estimate, especially since both of those cards only have 2GB VRAM. Given the specs, it should also be about 25-30 percent faster than the GTX 1050 Ti, but that also means it's likely slower than the GTX 1060 models. Something else to consider is that the 1650 Super nearly manages to break 60 fps in every game I tested at 1080p medium (Metro Exodus being the sole exception), but at 1080p ultra it's far less of a certain thing. The overall average at 1080p ultra is 61 fps, but only about half of the game break 60 while the other half range from around 40 fps up to 55 fps.

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself. Display Connectors Visually, MSI's new GTX 1650 Super card looks nearly identical to the GTX 1650 Gaming X, but there are a few minor tweaks. Both cards require a 6-pin PCIe power connector, but while the PCB is the same size, the 1650 Super layout is slightly different—it's using the same board as the 1660 cards, which makes sense as both use the same TU116 GPU. The 1650 Super also has an extra DisplayPort output, compared to MSI's vanilla 1650 card.

Benchmarks

Wrapping up the charts, above are two different views of performance per monetary unit (using Germany for Euro pricing, if you're wondering). I've calculated "value" for these midrange, budget, and select high-end models using the best available pricing as of April 23. Prices do fluctuate, but most of these graphics cards are readily available at the prices used. Another point of interest: 2014's GTX 970 is only slightly faster (1-3 percent on average) than the GTX 1650, mostly due to improvements in architecture over the past two generations. Newer games tend to favor the GTX 1650, while older games are more likely to favor the GTX 970.

Yes, the GTX 1650 is faster than the previous generation GTX 1050 Ti, but it's also roughly the same performance as a high-end GPU from nearly five years ago. Now that level of performance is available from a substantially less expensive 75W TDP card (give or take), and there will eventually be low profile card models using the GTX 1650. Description: The PNY GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB Dual Fan Graphics Card is based on Nvidia’s Turing architecture. What this means for you is faster, smoother gameplay.When you’re not sure what’s around the next corner, adaptive shading gives you hyper-realism without slowing down your PC.Dual fan coolingThere are dual fans fitted on this small form factor GPU. That makes it a great solution for your compact build, as two fans get the air flowing properly even in a compact chassis.G-Sync compatiblePair it with your G-Sync monitor for better response time and super-smooth visuals, with shadows that animate in a natural way.Tweak your in-game settings with GeForce Experience, or capture and share screenshots and livestreams with fellow gamers.

That's not to say the card is useless though, and for someone looking for a budget card for a pre-built system with something like a 350 watt PSU, it could make sense (provided they are not trying to fit it in a slim case). It’s really good at this stage to spend some time just getting an idea of the sort of price you can expect to pay for your Graphics cards. When you’re spent a bit of time looking at the prices, consider setting yourself a budget. The GTX 1650 uses a new TU117 GPU, which is a smaller and thus less expensive variant of the TU116 that powers the GTX 1660 and 1660 Ti cards. The key differences relative to the 1660 line are in the memory configuration and number of SMs (Streaming Multiprocessors), which in turn determines the number of CUDA cores, texture units, and ROPs. It's still built using TSMC's 12nm lithography, leaving 7nm for AMD's Radeon VII for now. The result is a die size that's about a third lower than the TU116, with 4.7 billion transistors.

General info

Setting yourself a budget will really help you to narrow down your search. It can also help you to avoid the slippery slope of buying a really expensive product that perhaps had advanced specifications that you didn’t need or couldn’t actually afford.

That means support for H.265 8K encode at 30 FPS is gone, along with the 25% bitrate savings for HEVC and up to 15% bitrate savings for H.264 that Nvidia touted when Turing launched. Putting It All Together… It’s also important to have a good idea of your expectations in terms of quality too. You may not actually be looking for the best quality product if your main goal is to get cheap Graphics cards. So spend some time considering what’s important to you and think about the areas that you’d be happy to compromise or not.

Nvidia's new $150 GPU will please small PC builders and brings a modest generational boost in performance.

The power consumption of the 1650 for laptops is specified at 50 Watt TGP (Total Graphics Power) by Nvidia and therefore 15 Watt higher than the efficient (and slower) Max-Q variant of the 1650. The TU117 chip is manufactured in 12nm FFN at TSMC. Compared to the bigger Turing chips (like the TU116 of the GTX 1660 Ti and the RTX lineup), the TU117 does not include the new NVENC encoder but an older one similar to the one used in Pascal and Volta. Next up we thought it would be useful to narrow down our search a bit more and only look at Graphics cards made by Pny. We managed to find 3 options at Currys. Chapter titles are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of reading about a specific period in one of the volumes, or following a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of the six. The themes (and chapter titles) are: Color Philosophy and Science; Color Technology and Trade; Power and Identity; Religion and Ritual; Body and Clothing; Language and Psychology; Literature and the Performing Arts; Art; Architecture and Interiors; Artefacts.
