Today, Nvidia launched its new graphics card Geforce GTX 1660 Super, which squeezed into the company’s lineup between Geforce GTX 1660 and Geforce GTX 1660 Ti in terms of performance. However, this was not the only model that the company unveiled, as the Geforce GTX 1650 Super will also be unveiled with a launch later in November.

According to previous reports, the Geforce GTX 1650 Super leaves the TU117 graphics circuit behind and instead steps over to a scaled-down variant of the TU116 found in, among others, the Geforce GTX 1660. The circuit has 1,280 CUDA cores activated, which together with a turbo frequency of 1,725 MHz gives the card a theoretical computing power that is closer to 50 percent above the Geforce GTX 1650.
Furthermore, the upcoming Geforce GTX 1650 Super card takes the step over to 4 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 12,000 MHz over a 128-bit memory bus. This gives the card a memory bandwidth of 192 GB / s – a 50 percent increase in bandwidth from the Geforce GTX 1650 that uses GDDR5 memories.
The transition to the TU116 graphics circuit also means that the Geforce GTX 1650 Super is gifted with the new and improved version of the NVENC video encoder introduced with the Turing architecture. This was not the case with the Geforce GTX 1650, where the TU117 graphics circuit used an older implementation of NVENC from the Volta architecture.
The Geforce GTX 1650 Super launches on November 22. The price is still unknown but will according to Nvidia be revealed closer to the launch date.
