Nvidia GTX 1650 With GDDR6 Memory Now Available
NVIDIA's partners have started to make available their GeForce GTX 1650 graphics cards with GDDR6 memory onboard.
Actually NVIDIA's product lineup already lists the GTX 1650 (G5), and GTX 1650 (G6). Both feature 896 "Turing" CUDA cores, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs; but they differ in memory configuration and clock speeds.
The GTX 1650 (G6) features 4 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 12 Gbps, across a 128-bit wide memory bus, compared to the original GTX 1650, which uses 4 GB of 8 Gbps GDDR5 across the same bus width. This results in a 192 GB/s bandwidth for the new graphice card vs. 128 GB/s. On the other hand, the GPU clock speeds are lower than those of the original GTX 1650. The new G6 variant ticks at 1410 MHz base and 1590 MHz GPU Boost, compared to 1485/1665 MHz of the original GTX 1650. This allows the new cards to maintain their 75 W typical board power envelope.
MSI has alredy announced the MSI GeForce GTX 1650 D6 series, designed to provide higher core and memory clock speeds for increased performance in games.
The 7th generation of the TWIN FROZR thermal design is tailored to cool the MSI GeForce GTX 1650 D6 GAMING series as well. Featuring two of MSI's patented TORX 3.0 fans, the fan design combines the advantages of two differently shaped fan blades to generate high amounts of airflow.
Dressed in a Black & Silver design with industrial style shapes, the MSI GeForce GTX 1650 D6 VENTUS XS series is a smaller version of the VENTUS design. The new dual-fan thermal design provides more concentrated airflow and air pressure.
The GeForce GTX 1650 D6 AERO ITX models are small in size, but just as big in performance as their bigger brothers. The AERO ITX model utilizes a single fan on a compact heatsink featuring heatpipes and optimized dissipation.
For people that are looking for the most compact version of MSI GeForce GTX 1650 D6 models, there is the Low Profile (LP) series. Featuring a dual fan thermal design for a stable environment with better dissipation. Its smaller size is suitable for mini systems and specific low profile chassis. Included in the box are two sizes of brackets for users to choose from.
MSI's GTX 1650 Gaming X GDDR5 is selling for $159.99, and the MSI GeForce GTX 1650 D6 Gaming X GDDR6 is at the same price.
Chinese news outlet Expreview has reviewed Nvidia's refreshed GeForce GTX 1650 gaming graphics card. The webite had the chance to test the Zotac GeForce GTX 1650 GDDR6 Destroyer OC, an SKU that's specific to China.
The GTX 1650 Destroyer OC has a 1,485 MHz base clock and 1,665 MHz boost clock, while the GTX 1650 GDDR6 Destroyer OC has a 1,410 MHz base clock and 1,620 MHz boost clock. That's equivalent to a 5% reduction on the base clock and 2.7% on the boost clock.
The Chinese publication pitted the Zotac GeForce GTX 1650 GDDR6 Destroyer OC against the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming OC. Gigabyte's card comes with a 1,485 MHz base clock and 1,815 MHz boost clock, which is 5% and 12% higher, respectively, than Zotac's.
According to their results, the GTX 1650 GDDR6 delivered about 2-12.5% performance gains over the GDDR5 version, depending on the benchmark and game.
