MSI GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming X Review

MSI is back, this round with the GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming X edition of the GeForce GTX 1650. Designed to be a budget-friendly product MSI still did mount a pretty impressive cooler, a Twinfrozr revision 7 one with dual-fans. For a bit more fun, MSI also added a 6-pin power connector, perhaps that's good news for tweaking. oh and it's overclocked right out of the box for you as well.

For the prices you name, you could buy an RX-570/580 with a 256-bit bus which is Crossfire/D3d12 Multi-GPU capable that will run rings around it. There is no contest. This 1650 belongs firmly in the sub-$100 pricing range. If there is a 1650ti and it has a 128-bit bus, too--it will just be a total waste. nVidia doesn't seem interested in selling many of these.
Too much money for this performance.The 1650 should be $120-$145 and the upcoming 1650ti should occupy this price range.

Multi GPU is dead.

I'll take word of someone who actually uses it. I considered it as thing of the past, but there are really not that many games which need it and have no support.
I would say that SLI/CF is currently at breaking point and things can go either way.

So you wont take the word of an ex-user? There is a reason I don't use SLI of CF anymore. Plus with DX12 the lazy ass dev's have to make it work.
