Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 OC 4G, Model # GV-N1650OC-4GD
The GeForce GTX 1650 is NVIDIA's new budget-friendly gaming graphics card that turns you PC into a gaming machine. Based on the award-winning Turing architecture, this card packs 896 CUDA Cores and 4GB 128-bit GDDR5 RAM, and has merely 75W TDP for reference model. It delivers smooth performance and brilliant visuals for the most popular games, and is even faster with modern titles.
The Gigabyte GV-N1650OC-4GD card is factory overclocked to 1710 MHz Boost frequency (reference card is 1665 MHz) for more performance out of the box. Its WINDFORCE 2X cooling solution is quiet and efficient, and two 80 mm fans use semi-passive design which stops the fan completely in low load or idle status. And the Ultra Durable components guarantee unbeatable stability, reliability and long lifespan you expect from Gigabyte.
WINDFORCE 2X COOLING SYSTEM
The WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features two 80mm unique blade fans, an alternate-spinning fan and a 3D active fan—all together delivering an effective heat dissipation.
ALTERNATE SPINNING
The GIGABYTE-patent “Alternate Spinning” is the only solution that can solve the issue of turbulent airflow that comes from having adjacent fans. Since the adjacent fans rotate in the same direction, the airflow direction becomes opposite between the fans, which will cause turbulent airflow and reduce heat dissipation efficiency. GIGABYTE turns the adjacent fans in the opposite direction, so that the airflow direction between the two fans becomes the same, reducing turbulence and enhancing airflow pressure.
UNIQUE BLADE FAN
Airflow is split by the triangular fan edge and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing overall airflow.
3D ACTIVE FAN
The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, and the fans will remain off when the GPU is in a low-load or low-power game. It allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle.
BUILT STRONG
Ultra Cooling
Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs are specially designed to produce lower switching resistance for faster electric current charging and discharging at extremely low temperature.
Low Power Loss
Metal chokes hold energy much longer than common iron-core chokes at high frequency, thus effectively reduce core energy loss and EMI interference.
Longer Life
Lower ESR solid capacitors ensure better electronic conductivity for excellent system performance and longer lifespan.
IN TOTAL COMMAND
The interface and functionality of the software is subject to each model.
AORUS Engine
The cutting edge intuitive interface allows you to adjust the clock speed, voltage, fan performance and power target in real-time according to your game’s requirements.
Pros: It works! It is somewhat close to GTX 1050 Ti in performance, can't reach 1060 though. It is small, does not need a lot of power, runs really cool and quiet with a nice aftermarket cooler. Stays under 70C most of the time. Perfect for most gamers on 1080p monitors who don't want to spend too much money and care about power usage and noise. No issues with driver
Cons: Too much competition from RX 570 (cheaper) and GTX 1060 (faster). Could use an extra port, DVI for example, still popular, plus with 3 ports it is only for 3 monitors, though it can do 4. Backplate? Just for cosmetics, not really needed. Few more points to secure the heatsink, to make card less flexible.
Overall Review: It works and it is good enough with cheap power supplies and for office computers. Perfect for MMORPGS and that kind of stuff.
