Interesting. As the owner of the GTX 1650 running in a server, i got this card for the very reason for now wanting that additional power connector. It would be interesting to see if anything faster can be pushed without the need of an external power connector above the GTX 1650 range....

I already thought the 1650 didn't make sense with a connector as the performance was so low that unless u planned on using it in a low profile low power configurations i don't see the point as APU's would be a better option.
