BLT (https://www.shopblt.com/) finally shipped my Zotac GTX 1650 LP today (12/02/2019). I ordered it in August (8/21/19 ). Total with S&H came to $153.78 which seems pretty good compared to the prices listed already. I was considering passing on the wait order to next of kin but I"m glad it...

Just in from BLT today: We have been informed that the ordered product has an updated estimated time of arrival (ETA) into our warehouse of 10/09/19 This is getting ludicrous... If this keeps up much longer I'll have to put in a clause in my will to pass along the wait order to next of kin...

I heard created a rumor that the GTX 1770 LP will be coming out in December 2019 just in time for Santa's sleigh. Zoltac claims that the 1st 100 puchases will include a pair of minecraft elves and a kazoo. Not to be outdone, MSI said they would ship a free lifesize blowup of frosty the snowman...

Still waiting for 9/26/19 to arrive to see if BLT gets in the 1650 LP's after multiple delays. I sure hope so. Tempting to buy a pile of them and sell them on ebay for $200 each. Somebody more business savy then me should do that. :)

Somebody put up 5 zoltac 1650 LP cards on ebay usa. They aren't cheap but if you want one there are 4 left as of the time I'm posting this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ZOTAC-GAMING-GeForce-GTX-1650-Low-Profile-ZT-T16500H-10L-/193087965827?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10

So Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF arrives and I was able to setup Windows 10 without too much hassle including upgrading to the latest version. However, the wife wanted 'her computer' with the OS, apps installed, etc. which was on the drive in the waffled Dell Optiplex 980 SFF. Fine, no problem, I'll...

Yeah, I can confirm. I just got this from BLT today: We have been informed that the ordered product has an updated estimated time of arrival (ETA) into our warehouse of 09/26/19. Kinda sucks. What is Zoltac doing over there???

Just in from BLT regarding the GEFORCE GTX 1650 LP card: We have been informed that the ordered product has an updated estimated time of arrival (ETA) into our warehouse of 09/04/19. We sincerely appreciate your patience and will be shipping your order as soon as is possible.

For what it may be worth, the 1050 ti LP video cards seem to be dropping notably in price on ebay in usa. I haven't checked worldwide but it would seem most probable that they are dropping in price there too as the 1650 LP continues what seems to be a sluggish rollout. I agree with...

Interesting. Single slot with 75W (TDP) maybe but not low profile height at (111mm | 4.37008 inches)

Any correlation to the release of the main video card product to the LP version? Do they tend to release at the same time or is there a general delay of weeks or months to the LP product version?

Panic! Unhappy wife means unhappy life or something like that. Disclaimer. I'm about to divulge what is probably not the most sound reasoning, logic or purchase decisions so in no sense am I trying to set a good example here. I'm just merely telling what happened as best as I can remember it...

Awesome sauce! Thanks for the links. I don't know why the adapter cards are so bloody expensive. The the thing to know is what specific tech to look for (ie MXM). You knew the specifics. I didn't. So the simple answer is we do have the tech available to put laptop video cards into sff. It just...

+1 GTX 1060 LP BLT order. Might as well support the guys trying to get us the goods. Thanks @Copernicus I dunno. On the size, heat & power of video cards issue I guess we can agree to disagree. My point though is that if they can do it in a laptop format they can also do it in an itx/sff size...

I find that hard to believe because we have laptops that run 1080's and they adequately manage both power and heat. I currently have a thin laptop with a 1070mq or m something on it and it does fine. Admittely, it gets pretty hot when running intense graphics but it works well even for multiple...
