so the GTX 1650 has been released and I've seen the reviews I'm yet to do my own because the cards were sent so far after NDA was lifted that I just haven't had time to do a proper review yet that'll be coming but I did watch bit Wits video where he coupled it with an OEM system and although he had some troubles he did eventually get it working and it was an option if you were looking to get into PC gaming but since 2014 and when the 750ti launched a lot of those options for sort of going with OEMs can present problems there are a lot of boards out there that just simply won't support the 750ti the 1050 Ti or the 1650 but since 2014 as well things have changed big time where a lot of people aren't even looking for an OEM system they're just simply too ugly aesthetics is playing a big role and honestly you can get aesthetics for real cheap on a build nowadays as well as power supplies being relatively inexpensive now one thing I will critique about the 1650 straightaway though is where is the low profile option I've looked around everywhere and I can't see one maker that's made the thinner version that would go in some of those OEMs that are going out really cheap but today I'm gonna try and find a purpose for this card and that is coupling it with the recent budget combo I got for 120 bucks if you guys haven't seen that video I'll put the link up here where an actual big benefit of this system which had a cease cause Eon was that it was using under 90 watts from the wall and also coupled with the GTX 1660 and the performance was surprisingly really good so let's chuck this in we're also gonna chuck in an Rx 570 and see what performance we can get for the wattage do you sometimes want to be camouflaged and you like fancy RGB lights but you still want good components onboard your motherboard well if so the z3 90 still legend from asrock has you covered coming in with a decent price point - it's one for a serious contender for someone looking to get on the intel knife gent it's links in description below so what we've got now is three different cards here two gtx 1650s one of them being the Galax Virginia other being the no PCIe 6 pin gigabyte edition so if anything we're gonna see which of these uses law power compared to one another honestly my bet is on the galaxy card because in the last year all the cards have sent through here have been very power efficient and then we've got the RX 570 which I picked up on a deal for $80 this is really good value for money practically not going to get much better than this considering these are on the used market everywhere and even brand new they're really good price performance and that's been the biggest detriment to the 16:50 so far is that this exists and the price for it is really inexpensive but without a side let's put these three cards through this little rig right here and see how much power they use for what performance numbers they give out so we just now finished the testing with three different graphics cards testing out Apex legends as well as Monster Hunter Woolwich from the previous video you guys requested that I test this is it was cpu-intensive and then we also tested out a shadow of the Tomb Raider and the numbers are as expected the RX 570 is coming well ahead of the GTX 1650 it is doing so though on average with about 80 to 85 watts more power consumption depending on the benchmark now the difference between the Giga Byte and the galaxy card surprisingly was virtually nothing both across the numbers and the power consumption so I guess on this particular gigabyte model with no PCIe 6 pin requirement and same with the guys card they have tune these v biases for efficiency as there are some other models out there that do require the 6 pin and I'm guessing they use a little bit more power than these two cards otherwise would now in terms of measuring both these cards up they come just under 200 mil in length so you will need to accommodate for that but one thing I can't get my head around is just there is no low profile option for either of these cards and now with the 1050 Ti we did see that low profile option and that gives us the option to then put it in some of these small form-factor sleepers as you otherwise would know them as if you put this card inside because the performance is pretty decent I mean 1080p high settings across shadow of the Tomb Raider getting 50 fps and then moving over to Apex legends again high settings getting 60fps and having good one percent point one percent lows is nothing to laugh at as well as monster hunter world playing quite well I mean if you drop the settings down to say a blend of high and medium on the other two titles you will get that 60fps figure and you'll do so with the whole power consumption coming under 150 watts so to pretty much run with any single power supply out there and this combination I guess the only person it would be good for is someone who is maybe wants to save the environment but has an addiction to PC gaming but as we can see with the numbers here with the rx 570 that thing is coming with more performance it's currently cheaper both on the new market and the used market I mean with the use market you can pick these things up for next to nothing I mean I got one for about 60 USD we'll actually got quite a few for 60 USD not just one and at this price their phenomenal value for money and I mean is that 80 watts worth it I mean most gamers on average I'd say would game for about three to four hours a day some would game a lot more some would game a lot less so I'm guessing if you're a World of Warcraft addict and I guess you play this game 16 hours a day then that power consumption could add up quite quickly and you could save some money actually in the long term going with the 16 50 over an Rx 570 but it would take a while I mean you'd have to do the math on how much you pay for power and where you are in the world but in Australia per kilowatt-hour it is a little bit expensive but again that price difference 60 USD on the use market for an RX 570 which is what I go for versus a hundred and fifty USD on the new market for a 1650 that's a big price difference and also coupled with the fact that there's no low profile option it's kind of getting a little bit hard to see where the 1650s sort of slotting in because the 16 60 TI even though it costs more is using GD r6 so in ways it's actually a more efficient card in the total power performance arguments there's also the argument that cheering cos don't perform a whole lot better than Pascal cos and you're only getting just over a hundred cuda cores with the 1650 versus the 1050 TI and you're still getting four gigabytes of vram and 14 nanometer down to 12 nanometer so not a whole lot has changed in that time since when the 1050 TI was released in the 1650 came out so I would have liked to have seen a bit more out of this graphics card but I guess we'll have to wait for a video to drop down to seven nanometer as well as to see what AMD does with their Navi solution to see if it can sort of compete what for what with these performance numbers because they are pretty good it's just that the rx 570 at its price performance argument is currently offering more that's already been out for quite some time so all the arguments that you guys have heard currently they pretty much ring true I personally think for how long it's been since the 1050 TI was released and since this is released I am NOT that impressed at all with that said I will be adding a lot more graphics cards into the mix throwing it onto the 9900 ke test bench and then giving you guys a full fledge review for these 1650 Galax cards - stay tuned for that if you enjoyed this
