Nvidia launches mid-range GeForce GTX 1650

Nvidia has launched its new GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, which delivers powerful performance to the mid-range market.

The new GPU is based on the manufacturer's Turing architecture and is designed to be power-efficient while delivering exceptional 1080p gaming performance at an attractive price.

Compared to a GTX970?

What is "an attractive price"?

 

[Herr_Koos]

Yeah, don't bother with this unless you're currently gaming on a potato. It's slower than an RX570, slower than a GTX1060-3GB, and only about 35% faster than the 1050Ti, which is the card it actually replaces if you look at prices.

What is "an attractive price"?

Anywhere from R4k to almost R5k, according to the prices just posted over at Wootware. Absolutely insane considering you can get an RX580, GTX1060, and even a GTX 1660 or heavily discounted 1660Ti for the same price.

It's a piece of crap, you can buy a RX 580 8GB for less.

Poor product, Nvidia missed the mark here.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

It's not a poor product, it's just a poor price.

Exactly. What I love about these cards is the power consumption.

They basically run on rainbows and unicorn farts. Still doesn't justify the price, hence the really bad resale value. So the best option is to grab one of these cards secondhand when the time comes.

Why get that card at R4299 if you can get a 1660

Yes not a Ti but still a decent midrange card

Meh, 2nd hand Vega 56 FTW. Power, what power?
