ASUS launches its Phoenix GeForce GTX 1630 and the TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1630
ASUS announces two new graphics cards powered by the latest NVIDIA mainstream chipset. Phoenix and TUF cards are based on the NVIDIA Turing architecture and are the ideal option for those looking for a 1080p gaming experience at an affordable price. Both cards use space-grade lubricant for dual fans and massive heatsinks.
ASUS Phoenix GeForce GTX 1630
The ASUS Phoenix GeForce GTX 1630 features a single Axial-Tech fan with dual ball bearings and IP5X dust protection for years of stability and reliability. This miniature two-slot graphics card is just under seven inches long, making it a compelling option for users with ITX motherboards and small form factor cases. The Phoenix GeForce GTX 1630 is built with ASUS Auto-Extreme technology, which cleanly solders components without human intervention for a high-quality end result. The graphics cards are then tested for 144 hours to ensure that users only receive flawless cards.
TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1630 (OC)
For those looking for a bit more power, ASUS also offers the TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1630 and the TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1630 OC Edition. With boost clocks up to 1815MHz on OC Edition (1845MHz in OC mode) and 4GB of GDDR6 RAM, these graphics cards can handle the latest esports titles with smooth framerates. Both TUF Gaming models are just 2.3 slots tall and just over 8 inches long, allowing them to easily fit in most standard cases. Featuring a dual-fan design with space-grade lubricant, TUF Gaming cards go through the same Auto-Extreme assembly process and 144-hour validation as the Phoenix GeForce GTX 1630. ASUS also performs additional testing to ensure compatibility to check with other components of the TUF Gaming family,
Connectivity and Features
Featuring HDMI® 2.0b, DisplayPort™ 1.4a and DVI-D connectors, these graphics cards are a great option for multi-monitor enthusiasts looking to upgrade an existing setup. Both cards also feature NVIDIA's G-SYNC™ technology, which ensures screen tearing is a thing of the past when using a compatible monitor.
Availability
The Phoenix GeForce GTX 1630 and the TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1630 are now available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

I hope nobody will think you could actually game with it just because the box says "TUF Gaming",

Entry level GPUs are very welcome products, but I guess they keep them overpriced for various reasons. This product is much more appealing I think than AMD's RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 XT, because they lack hardware encoding support. Of course, it would have been nice to see a little more performance on GTX 1630, but it's not the main reason to buy such a product. It might be that these entry level GPUs are less appealing due to the companies knowing that future CPUs will have integrated GPUs in every price pracket (I do not know if this is the case for sure), so the demand for a discrete solution will lessen. For this reason they don't seem to invest on entry level much now, although in general when chip availability is low, the higher margin products are prioritized.

It seems Nvidia is playing Limbo..... but not with prices.
