Nvidia has released the GTX 1650, its latest Turing-based graphics card, to about as much fanfare as the Sultan of Brunei unveiling their new LGBTQ ambassador. Nvidia's high volume sub-$150 card seems to have been more or less been released as little more than a footnote to its new line of mobile Turing GPUs. Nvidia has only released supporting drivers today, meaning press reviews are inevitably delayed post-launch, and today's press release, also detailing the new mobile GTX 16-series graphics cards, only gets around to mentioning the existence of the GTX 1650 in desktop form on its third page in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it four line paragraph. Which initially seems a bit harsh on the new TU117-based graphics card. It’s the direct replacement for the GTX 1050, offering 70% higher frame rates at 1080p and for just $149 (£138). Like the GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti it doesn’t need any external power as its 75W TDP means it can slurp up all the juice it needs from your motherboard’s PCIe slot alone. That makes the GTX 1650 a great drop-in upgrade for any off-the-shelf PC, allowing you to turn your boring black box office machine into a 1080p gaming rig for just $150, and without having to do anything more invasive than simply dropping the card in and hooking up your monitor.
