My graphics card broke so I have replaced it with one of these and it runs most games perfectly, it is decently priced.

Turing architecture GPU 1650, good for baseline gaming and editing. Power consumption is less, works with most of the power supplies, Attached unboxing video and some images here for reference, it comes with extended warranty support, 5 years. suggest this GPU for entry to mid scale 1080p gamers with budget, Also a good GPU for normal video processing so it makes your video experience smooth. Easily plays 4k videos without tearing or scaling, received this just a few days after it was launched, for INR 13650 which is bit higher than US/CANADA price point. But have seen this trend in India – products always sells at higher margin. Would have been great if this was available for 10K INR, Dont buy if you already own GTX 1060 or GTX 1050 Ti, performance wise this is quite similar to previous generation only ~0.7x times higher, so not worth upgrading , if you are looking for something that would fit any system with any power supply this would be a good buy, I would suggest you pair with decent budget CPU no need to get high end CPU , ( eg: get Ryzen 3 without graphics and plug this card) with 4 – 8 gb of ram this would just work with most of the current gaming titles which are available.
Pros – Size – Power consumption 300W – Already OC version no need to increase any clock speed – No extra power pins, draws power from your PCI slot
Cons – Previous generation GTX1060 is still better than GTX1650. – Have seen some more high power current drawing due to OC, so a good SMPS required during playing very graphics intensive games like Tomb Raider – Shadows of Tomb Raider version. But for games like DOTA, CSGO, Fortnite, PUBG, it just works no extra investment in power unit required.

NOTE : @ Register on Zotac’s official website as soon as you get this card for Extended 3 years warranty !!! @ This is card doesn’t need any external power supply. Infact it works flawlessly even with old school 200W psu from pentium generation. @ This device purely for Gaming purpose. As it didn’t showed any significant improvement in Video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro cc, when compared to my old GT 730 card. @ I got it at good discount in Festival season, and my complete review & experience is based on that discounted price, so note that.
I bought this after about a week of research and I must say that I not disappointed at all. The system I am using is, { i5 7400 CPU, 8GB DDR4 DIMM, Gigabyte H100M -S2 board, 240GB SSD + 4TB HDD & old 200W PSU. } Based on above config, following are results & observations,
1. Firstly, its very compact, and fits perfectly on Micro-ATX with stock cpu cooler or after market RGB cooler just beside the PCIe slot. 2. After 4 hours of intense ULTRA graphics gaming, I didn’t noticed any significant Heating. * Single fan is certainly doing its job well. 3. When used this card for editing software like adobe PP cc, I didn’t noticed any significant improvement over my old GT 730 card, which was slight disappointment. So certainly its not made for Video Software rendering. 4. Even with so less PSU, I didn’t noticed any lags at all till date. 5. While playing the games I didn’t noticed bottlenecks till date.
Following are the games that I played so far ( all in ULTRA settings ) : 1. Forza Horizon 4 – Continuous 60 FPS with GPU used 75-80%, 0 lags. 2. Shadow of Tomb Raider – 45 FPS with GPU used 90+%, 0 lags. 3. Need for Speed Payback – 70 FPS with GPU used 80+%, 0 lags. 4. Hitman 2 – 45 FPS with GPU used 95%, 0 lags. 5. GTA 5 – 55 FPS with GPU used 80% , 0 lags. * I tested each game when installed on SSD, which also makes significant difference, so note that.
VERDICT : ———– If you are on tight budget and need a G card for just gaming, then certainly go for this card. Its absolute value for money for gaming heads. All the above games that I mentioned are insanely Heavy and each of them runs buttery smooth, which suffices the purpose. If you are on 3rd to 7th generation of i core processors, then 8GB of RAM & SSD, will give you almost same results as mentioned above. Just make sure to buy it only when its in Sale, for best value for your investment, else go for 1660 for ultimate gaming experience.

This is the best budget Gpu available in the market. Don’t worry about the temperature.. It manages the heat just fine, as it is low power consuming card. It maintains the temperature of around 70degree when gaming in full HD.. Still if that bothers you, then install a regular exhaust fan inside your cabinet which is available online under 300 rupees.
Performance is also good.it gives around 250 fps in cs go at full HD resolution.. Other games also run flawlessly.

Reviews of GTX 1650 cards are not very positive, when they compare to the older GTX 1050 cards. However, coming from an old and slow card and having a lower end PC with a 450w power supply, this card really met my requirements. It does not require a 2nd power connection, and is fine with my 450w power supply. It is relatively compact.
Performance is fine in the games I play, plus I have 3 monitors and they can all run at once for office work.
4 stars because it is a little bit over priced.

Decent gpu for entry level gamers, I paired it with i3 9100f and single 8gb 2400mhz ram. Truthfully it gives 30-40% more performance than previous 1050ti. I played approx every Triple A titles in medium to very high settings…with smoothy experience….
By the way dont compare it with rx570 because rx570 has its double power consumption for only 10-15 % more performance…
So definitely you can buy it , if you have old system with old psu or oem pc…

The advert says 8GB RAM, and 4GB HDD(??? there is no HDD).
This the advert created maybe got confused.
Aside from that, its a decent unit.
GEforce Experience says its VR capable (note i say capable).
Bought to stick in a box made from my old gear for my nephews 10th birthday. It was the only thing i needed to make it complete.
A little overpriced for what it is, but that seems to be a common thing. Not a lot around for an nvidia card of the similar spec at that price range.
certainly worth it for a 1st gaming rig at entry level. The fan is quiet, and means it it can be clocked reasonably well.
If this fits your budget, its a decent card for the price.

So, I have a Dell Alienware X51 R2, i5-4460, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 240W PSU and a GeForce 750TI. I bought it 5 years ago and it has served me very well, as a second PC. It is a VERY small form factor case, situated in the living room for light gaming and streaming TV. As a first step in upgrading the system (RAM upgrade to 16GB, HDD to SSD, and i7-4790K CPU will follow), I decided to buy this graphics card. Why? Because this is the best, fastest GPU available, that draws its power solely from the PCI slot. This is important to me for 2 reasons. 1. Its max power usage is only 75W. My Alienware PC has an external PSU, and I simply don’t have the power to run anything higher than 75 watts. 2. Because of its low power, it runs at a relatively low temperature. This matters in such a small case because the air flow is poor, and anything bigger could easily overheat. Simply put, for a very low powered, small form factor PC, this is simply the best GPU money can buy. So, how did the installation go? I took out my old GPU and replaced it with this, turned the PC on and… black screen. Uuuurghhh! I had to connect my TV’s HDMI cable to the in-built motherboard graphics first, then I downloaded the GeForce Experience software which then recognised the card automatically, and installed the right driver. Restarted the PC with the HDMI connected to the card, and hey presto – success! I am very happy with this card, very happy indeed! It fits in the case for a start, it draws its power only from the PCI slot (it’s working fine with my 240W PSU, but I have ordered a 330W unit just to be safe – GeForce recommends 300W minimum PSU for this card), it’s quiet (louder than the 750TI it replaced sure, but nothing like the 1080TI I have upstairs – the fan noise is barely noticeable, and well within acceptable limits), and it is quite the upgrade on the 750TI – which, to be fair, was a great card in its day. I would definitely recommend this card if you have limited power and/or a small PC case. This card is perfect for this scenario. If you have a larger case and more power, then at this price point the AMD RX570 is definitely the better card. And of course more money spent on next level cards would result in a performance upgrade. But I am very happy with this GPU. It suits me perfectly
