Review: MSI GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming X
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 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.

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.
