Full NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Specifications and Prices emerge on the web
As we all know NVIDIA is to release the GeForce GTX 1650 soon, likely on the 23rd. However, at Amazon, somebody pressed the wrong button. An entire 1650 range got posted including specs and prices.
From the listing you can see the product is priced at € 169 and a USD value of ~$149, the listing entails an EVGA GTX 1650. Based on the Turing architecture, it will have a particularly low TDP and will be able to do without the power connector: an ideal solution therefore for the updates of aging machines. The GPU sports 896 shader processors paired with 4GB of GDDR5 memory tied to a 128-bit memory bus.
The TU117-300 empowered card seems to be getting a 1486/1665 MHz base/boost configuration with a TDP of only 75W.

the 4800se never needed this connector, you should have made sure your agp port was compliant with agp power needs.

People better BEWARE of the cards that aren't equipped with the (dedicated) power connector. In a machine with a powerful CPU, such card can prove to be power-hungry, thanks to an unexpected "boost" of the graphics subsystem. Many years ago, I had a whole lot of troubles because of the card (GeForce 4 4800 SE, Innovision) not having this connector - black screens, in-game picture trembling and disappearing, OS restarts... Apparently, this was an error by design, since people at no-vidia estimated that the card wont draw more ampers than the power contact in the slot can provide. But, at the time, I had a HEAVILY overclocked CPU/RAM, which, among the other things resulted in a power draw of the card being so huge that the AGP's power connector wasn't able to provide enough current for the card. The card was also (moderately) overclocked (via NiBitor). Now, after a few weeks of research, the temporary solution had been found - via Riva Tuner, the card's x8 turbo was disabled and the aforementioned problems disappeared. It took me 3 or 4 months of additional research to find a true solution: the 4-pin (molex) connector was soldered to the appropriate pins on the card and I was again able to run it at turbo x8.
On a side note: neither no-vidia nor in-no-vision were able (or: willing) to help me - they all seemed to be either not interested in the problem or not capable of understanding it and suggesting the solutions. The producers cut off the thing that can be very useful (and which would add to the card's price less than a penny), under the pretense of it "not being needed".
Honestly this seems like the issue doesnt lie with the card. When you overclock older Motherboards it can increase power and voltages to the AGP or pci and you have to be careful not to. Even if the card wanted to draw more power it wont crash, it would just get as much as it could. I honestly think there was a much bigger problem at hand.

User runs things out of spec, has issues, blames the manufacturer.... yep... sounds about right.
Also, its Nvidia, idk who this No-vidia is, maybe you should stop buying from them, they sound like a scam copy /sarcasm

price looks about right here which is good its slightly less than the 1050ti and should perform around the same or even better might need to pick one up if they come low profile.
