Asus NVIDIA TUF-GTX1650-O4GD6-P-GAMING GTX 1650 OC Edition 4GB GDDR6

I bought the GTX 1650 to replace my 10-year-old GTX 460. Yes, I know, I'm WAY behind but I do mostly console gaming these days and didn't need a new card until now. Between bitcoin mining and Covid I refused to pay the obscenely high prices on graphics cards. As of March 2022 they are still expensive but are affordable enough and I really need to replace my GTX 460 that overheats and crashes when the kids play play Roblox.This card is fast and cool running and is exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier unless it was lower in price, which isn't an option right now due to supply shortages.

Look, Cuda cores are hard to come by these days. Yes, this card is older, and yes it costs more than it should, but it's 2021 - and that is the cost of doing business. Asus makes good stuff, it's probably worth it, or so I thought. I don't know what genius designed this card, but it won't fit in your case. Note the last picture that shows the offset fanbox. This means you need a good 3/8-1/2" clearance beyond the slot. Now also note the power plug is on the same side - aka outside. So you can really only mount this PCI card with an inward-facing case. Maybe that's great for all you ATX gamer boyz, but not so much for me. We'll find it a new home for it, once a suitable replacement can be purchased.

This GPU will surprise you! It was a fun build because I was helping my little brother upgrade from his much needed Alienware Pre-built that was running like it was going to catch fire. Really, the thing would run like it's on full load while on idle with its fans running on full power lmao. Any who, he was grateful that I paired this 1650 super with a Ryzen 5 3600. Let me tell you, I not only saved him big bucks on unnecessary hardware, but this particular combo performs like a charm. It was enough to make him say "This is why I game on PC over consoles." This brought myself a whole new light why you don't need the best GPU or processor to enjoy gaming. This card provides what you need and then some. Unless you're playing 1440p or trying to render 4k images you ... MoreThis GPU will surprise you!

Unless you're playing 1440p or trying to render 4k images you don't anything beyond 1660. 1650 super seemed to be the sweet spot for what my brother was looking for and Asus Tuf Gaming has a well known reputation for stellar PC components. I transitioned to an all ASUS/ ROG build because of my brothers preference to buying ASUS parts!
