News NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Launching April 2019

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-turing-gpu-confirmed-launch-next-month/

Pray to the gods of low profile dual slot cards, for a 1050ti replacement !!!!

 

[Smanci]

1660(ti) might be doable, but it's bigger than the substrate used in the 1050(ti) o_o
also the 1660ti has 6 VRAM dies while the 1050 has 4, so unless they use double-capacity packs...

Can also be placed in the back!

 

[VegetableStu]

they're mostly crowded out at the back though o_o (different card pictured. couldn't find the one for galax)

not sure how easy would it be to move those around to make space for two more ._. (also not sure of stability from through-board traces)

Still nothing solid on the number of cores, don't expect miracles over a 1050ti, it's pretty much a given it's only an incremental upgrade.

I'm curious about the appeal of such a card, what do you guys intend to do with a 1050-ish equivalent?

Well I'm looking for GTX1070 level performance in a low profile card, which I am aware might not be this card, but I want the tiniest PC possible that'll give me 1080p/144hz in almost all games with high settings.

1024 shaders on the LP card or bust (compared to 1050Ti). GDDR6 would be nice to have as it uses less power. 6GB memory may not be feasible both physically and financially (for them) for the LP market, so I'm fine with 4GB.

Good to see you around, fellow LP friend.

I'm lurking every now and then

When might we reasonably expect such performance from a LP card? I would think it would be at least one, maybe two, generations away (i.e. 7nm and new architecture). I'm willing to be a little blindly optimistic though. I'd like to build my brother a nice little backpack portable machine he can bring back and forth between college. In exchange, he will owe me all the favors and render me all the things that I want.

I have no clue, but I also like to think 7nm cards will be the answer. Hopefully a good battle starts between AMD and Nvidia.

Well, to be sure, nothing really to be said until the full specs release and independent benchmark folks get a crack at it. We'll just have to stay hopeful.

Side note: Should it be "an LP card" or "a LP card"? Phonetically, it should be the former (pronounced "ell") but realistically, and by extending what it's short for, the latter makes sense. Somebody take away my keyboard...

depends on how would you be reading the sentence out o_o
personally i'd do "an LP" for the letters as-is

You're correct, it is "an LP" because you pronounce the acronym "el pee" according to the AP style guide. If you write out the whole word, "low profile" then it becomes "a low profile."

Also, my boss is crazy about grammar. I'm still stuck in a world where we have to put two spaces after a period at the end of a sentence while typing... sigh.

That made me laugh. Had to do that for school, completely ignored it once I got out.

whoa i never had this o_o intresting
does he answer calls with ahoy-hoy?

 

[CC Ricers]

I think it's reasonable to expect this to compete against a RX 580 and with only needing power from the slot so this price range looks expected but I hope it's not the minimum price.

Well the EVGA and Gigabyte product photos leaked for the 1660. Nothing low profile: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/evga-and-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1660-(non-ti)-photos-leak.html

MSI too: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/msi-geforce-gtx-1660-spotted-listed-with-6gb-gddr5.html

I'm still hoping to see a 1650ti low profile once that product trickles in

Yep, fingers x'd

 

[Jello]

Wait what's the wattage of 1660?

probably will be replacing the 1060 3GB ._.

I must question the performance of anything lower than it though. the 1660ti was the ballpark of a 1070, which makes the 1660 non-ti POSSIBLY on the same ballpark as a 1060. not quite promising for the 1650ti now ._.

 

[NateDawg72]

I don't believe that has been confirmed yet but it is certainly >100w, I feel a 120W rating is likely.

The known (leaked) specifications are:
1408 cuda cores, 6gb GDDR5, 192 bit bus

Compare that to 120W 1660ti:
1536 cuda cores, 6gb GDDR6, 192 bit bus
