Zotac Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 OC 4GB GDDR6 Review

When it comes to enthusiast grades Graphics solution, ZOTAC needs no introduction as they have been in business for some while now and have been producing a high end to budget segment graphics cards based on the Nvidia’s GPUs (Nvidia AIB Partner). Their other line of products includes storage drives, mini PCs.

ZOTAC has a local presence in Pakistan through M/s PakDukaan who are their authorized distributor in this region. They have sent us for ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1660Ti, GTX 1660 and Zotac Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 Review. This content is based on ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1650 OC Edition graphics card, the last of the series.

The Zotac GTX 1650 OC Review is based on TU117 chip using 12nm technology with a die size of 200mm² packing 4700M transistors. The Zotac GTX 1650 OC packs 896 CUDA Cores with a base clock of 1485MHz and the boost clock of 1695MHz. It features 4GB VRAM GDDR5 rated at 8 Gbps having a bus width of 128-bit using 128.1 GB/s bandwidth.

The graphics card has 1x Display Port, 1x HDMI port and a DVI-D port. It features ZOTAC’s Icestorm 2.0 cooling solution using 1x 90mm fan and a specially designed aluminum heatsink mimicking sunflower, making direct contact with the GPU for effective heat dissipation till the endpoints. It is a small form factor design without any frills attached to it which is understandable. There is no backplate and the card draws power only from the PCIe slot of the motherboard (75W).

We review the Zotac GTX 1650 OC Gaming, this incredibly small GeForce GTX 1650 has been fabbed to be a budget-friendly product, with an extremely small and compact size. We’re talking less than 15cm here.  The single fan product is energy friendly as well, there’s no need for even a power connector as it feeds from the 75 Watt PCIe power slot.

These cards are fitted with 4GB GDDR5 memory based upon a 128-bit memory bus. While the clock frequencies of the GPU base and boost frequencies will vary a bit per board partner, the reference base clock speed is close to 1400 MHz. When the first rumors on the GeForce GTX (yes, with a G) surfaced, speculation was everywhere and we had doubts NVIDIA would actually release a new GTX while moving forward towards it’s RTX branding. NVIDIA is now injecting Turing based GPUs into the mainstream called TU116 and this new GU117. To make it more affordable NVIDIA stripped away the RTX and DLSS features, that means there are no RT and Tensor cores in these products. It’s a fall back towards the original shader design model.

So to quickly recap; the 1650/1660 series is making use of the Turing architecture but will not have Raytracing and Tensor cores, this is why NVIDIA dropped the RTX suffix back to GTX. The GeForce GTX 1650 cards are to occupy a 149 to 179 USD price domain slash pricing level which coincidentally also is occupied by the AMD Polaris 20-based Radeon RX 570 series.
