Wow, + $100 more for 10-20% performance from gtx 1050 ti lp.
SabrePC's website seems to indicate they have the card, but I haven't tried to contact them.
There's no real reason to suspect this will perform any different from any other stock GTX 1650.
ZOTAC Rolls Out a Low-profile GeForce GTX 1650 Graphics Card
ZOTAC rolled out its first low-profile GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card, close to a month after MSI released the very first card of its kind. ZOTAC's 16 cm-long card uses a 2-slot thick chunky aluminium heatsink to cool the GPU, memory, and a portion of the VRM. This heatsink is ventilated by two...www.techpowerup.com
Techpowerup has a few of those, where they report on something but either don't understand what it is or get details wrong.
Tempted to go ahead and put in an order at Provantage for $160 shipped, I really want to see some more announcements about a version with a zero RPM fan mode though

So I'm not entirely clear (happens more often when you get older by the way) but would it be feasible to have that power thingy (highly technical term) power a graphics card...or have it power the MB and then your regular case PS power the graphics card...with the intent of being able to drive a more powerful graphics card and cpu then you would otherwise by splitting the power demands?Techpowerup has a few of those, where they report on something but either don't understand what it is or get details wrong.
Their articles on HDPLEX power supplies are especially bad, like this one
DC-ATX Direct Plug from HDPlex Lets You Use External Power-bricks to Power ITX Motheroards Without 2-pin DC-in
The DC-ATX Direct Plug from HDPlex is an interesting new accessory that lets you power mini-ITX motherboards with conventional ATX/EPS inputs inside SFF cases that come with 2-pin external power bricks. The accessory plugs directly into the 24-pin ATX input of your motherboard, and takes input...
And my personal favorite
HDPLEX Unveils the 800-Watt DC-ATX Power Brick: Convert Idle PCIe Connectors to Power a Second PC
HTPC case maker HDPLEX unveiled the DC-ATX 800W, a nano-ATX form-factor power-converter. This accessory, roughly as big as a power brick, takes in 6-pin PCIe, 8-pin PCIe, and 8-pin EPS connectors from your main rig, and depending on how many connectors you plug-in, puts out up to 800 Watts of...
Almost nothing in that paragraph is accurate ?
Basically using two power supplies to power different components? Certainly, you can do that. That has been done in a few builds here on the forum, specifically I remember an S4 mini build where the motherboard & CPU were powered by an HDPLEX unit while the video card was powered by a 12v power supply. I'm planning to be doing something similar myself, but not using the power supplies from the articles.
Well, Japan did get the card today, even if nobody else did.
What I think is more depressing is how the Zotac box is designed, covered in English text:
(Link to story this pic came from.)
I mean, why bother covering your product with English writing if you are never going to sell it in countries where that language is used? Frustrating...
Yeah, I know.
I'm just tired of waiting; surely they could have produced enough units to give every country a few cards, rather than spend weeks rolling them out in one location after another...
