Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 – a lot of money for mediocre performance

Over the past six months, Nvidia’s relatively recent graphics architecture Turing has taken a journey from the absolute highest performance class down to the lucrative middle segment. Most recently, the somewhat strangely named models were the Geforce GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Ti, in which Nvidia had to scale away Turing-specific technologies such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing to achieve a lower price point.

Now it’s time for the architecture Turing to take the step below SEK 2,000 with the newcomer Geforce GTX 1650. The model is based on the further stripped-down graphics circuit TU117, whose energy efficiency should enable cards without external power supply that still performs significantly better than the long-distance Geforce GTX 1050 Ti .
