A little over a month ago, Nvidia’s latest graphics card family entered the middle class SweClocker’s test lab. The Geforce GTX 1660 succeeded the popular predecessor the Geforce GTX 1060, and now Nvidia is ready to launch the Geforce GTX 1650 successor to the entry-level Geforce GTX 1050 family. Videocardz is now reporting concrete specifications for the new graphics cards.

New data on the Geforce GTX 1650 states that the cards will be equipped with 896 CUDA cores. These should operate at the base frequency 1,485 MHz and boostfrequencies 1 665 Mhz. These are backed by 4 GB of GDDR5 memory which works against a 128 bit wide memory bus. The memory frequency is stated to be 8 Gbps, which gives a bandwidth of 128 GB / s.
An interesting detail is that the circuit code name is TU117-300, where the suffix 300 indicates that it is a scaled-down variant of the circuit’s full potential. Nvidia’s full-scale circuits are usually equipped with the suffix 400, and previous reports state that the circuit TU117-400 will form the basis for the Geforce GTX 1650 Ti. This is claimed to be equipped with 1,024 CUDA cores.
According to previous reports, the TDP value for the Geforce GTX 1650 should be 75 W, which means that its power supply falls within the scope of what can be fed from the motherboard’s PCI Express connection. However, some products from partner manufacturers, such as factory overclocked models, still come with a 6-pin power connector.
Like other circuits in the Geforce GTX 1600 series, the TU117 lacks both Tensor and RT cores, which allow the Geforce RTX series to perform AI and ray tracing calculations, respectively. The Geforce GTX 1650 will be launched on April 23 and is said to have a recommended retail price of USD 149, corresponding to approximately SEK 1,700 including VAT.
