GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1650

NVIDIA announced the updated GTX 1650 with GDDR6 memory just three weeks ago. Their reason this time wasn't to go "SUPER" against the competition, but, rather, a logistics issue. With GDDR6 as the de-facto standard for graphics cards nowadays, memory manufacturers are shifting production away from GDDR5, which is getting more and more difficult to source. A portion of the global production is gobbled up by Xbox and PlayStation gaming consoles, but those might be out of production soon, too, with next-gen releasing later this year.

The MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming X Trio is the company's top custom-design rendition of the new RTX 3060 Ti Ampere graphics processor by NVIDIA. The MSI card features a mammoth custom-design cooling solution originally designed for GPUs from a segment above, which lets it run the fans at whisper-quiet speeds. The Gaming X Trio brand from MSI also represents the best from the company in terms of aesthetics, with this card featuring a vast set of RGB LED embellishments, including one that runs along the top edge of the card, where it's most visible.

We’ve already seen one of the smallest GTX 1650 cards this week, now we’ve got one of the biggest. Gigabyte has stuck one of their bigger dual-fan configurations on this rather modest Nvidia GTX 1650 chipset. The end result should be pretty impressive though, with lower temperatures and hopefully bigger clock speeds and performance. Because it’s part of the Gigabyte range, not their flagship Aorus range, it’s still quite affordable too. It’s not the sexiest looking card/cooler combo they make, but we’re expecting it to be pretty damn competitive when it comes to overclocking.
