Too much money for this performance.The 1650 should be $120-$145 and the upcoming 1650ti should occupy this price range.

Yikes, this card shouldn't be more than $100 dollars. Yet it's still gonna sell good due to Nvidia's naming scheme.

I went the mGPU route once, and although I didn't find it anywhere near as painful as other people made it out to be (it wasn't hard to force-enable it on games that didn't support it, without any major negative side effects) it isn't something I think I'll ever bother doing again. This is mostly because I've gone mini ITX + Linux, but even if I didn't, I also found the performance gains weren't substantial enough.
Ironically, mGPU is a dying (but not dead) trend, even though Vulkan and DX12 seem to have been built with mGPU setups in mind.

i have been using multigpu and single gpus depending on periods where my multi gpu system were with voodoo2, geforce 6600, geforce 260, geforce 275, geforce 480, geforce 770. Then i stopped to a single 1080ti.
When cards were cheaper buyin 2 midrange and make sli made sense, since you would buy a sub 300eur card, wait for price to drop to 180eur and upgrade. While now this do not happen anymore and sli advantages are less.
If you had the money for the top range card at day 1, sli was never a good idea.
Sli was enabling you 3 monitor setups when single card couldn't.
I do not think is dead but is not anymore as useful as before.

This card shouldn't even exist. Period.

" I am not saying it's not worth the money, it's just that you can get better (RX 570) for a similar amount of cash spend."
You were overly generous here Hilbert (out of all the reviews i read...), this product has been viciously slated due to being such a dreadful value product and quite obvious Nvidia price gouging (check Hardware Unboxed, Jayz2cents and Gamers Nexus as examples)
To buy this over the RX570, you would have to be absolutely crackers and it is absolutely not worth the money

Agree, but most gamers would have this as a minimum anyway? I don't personally know anyone (gamer) with a power supply below 500w.
