Zotac GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming Review - Product Showcase

Product Showcase

We begin with our usual pages that show the ins and outs of this graphics card with photos, all taken with an in-house photo-shoot of course. Zotac offers a compact and simple looking card here with a dark PCB and single-fan dark looking cooler. 

These are the affordable versions (the MSRP series) of the GeForce GTX 1650 is powered by NVIDIA's more modest offering in Turing, lacking RT and Tensor cores. The TU117 graphics processor is paired with 4 GB GDDR5 memory running at an effective data rate of 8 Gbps. The product will sell in that 150 USD / 169 EUR domain and follows a slightly higher boost frequency compared to the reference products.

The card has a dark look dual-slot design and has been fitted with one HDMI port, a DisplayPort and DVI connector. The GeForce GTX series has DisplayPort 1.4 connectors, 1.4a Ready, enabling support for 8K displays at 60Hz. 

• Boost: 1,695 MHz
• Memory 8.0 Gbps GDDR5 (effective data-rate)

Not that it needs much cooling, leaving out extra monitor ports creates room for a bit of an exhaust vent. Mind you, lacking is a virtual link and NVLINK connector, as such SLI  (multi-GPU gaming) is not supported.
