On April 22, 2019, coinciding with the announcement of the GTX 1650, Nvidia announced laptops equipped with built-in GTX 1650 chipsets. The cards have a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface, which connects them to the CPU, produced with TSMC's 12 nm FinFET process. The GeForce 16 series launched on February 23, 2019, with the announcement of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. On March 18, 2019, Nvidia announced that via a driver update in April 2019 they would enable DirectX Raytracing on 16 series cards starting with GTX 1660, together with certain cards in the 10 series, a feature reserved to the RTX series up to that point. The 16 series does, however, retain the dedicated integer cores used for concurrent execution of integer and floating point operations. Let's move to the next page where we'll look into GPU heat levels and noise levels coming from this graphics card.The GeForce 16 series is based on the same Turing architecture used in the GeForce 20 series, omitting the Tensor ( AI) and RT ( ray tracing) cores exclusive to the 20 series. Also, at half the PSU load (50% usage) your PSU is the most energy-efficient. There are many good PSUs out there, please do have a look at our many PSU reviews as we have loads of recommended PSUs for you to check out in there. If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina. GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER - On your average system we'd recommend a 400~450 Watt power supply unit.power consumption, however, is not a constant, it can dip up and down under load varying on game, scene and stress level. We rate this card at a ~100 Watt TDP in its out of the box configuration. Again, the Wattage shown is the card with the GPU(s) gaming stressed 100%, showing the peak GPU power draw, not the power consumption of the entire PC and not the average gaming power consumption. Below, a chart of relative power consumption. So this is an estimated value, albeit a very good one. The system wattage is measured at the wall socket side and there are other variables like PSU power efficiency. We'll be displaying the graphics card power consumption here, not the total PC power consumption. Our test system is based on an eight-core Intel setup. The before and after wattage will tell us roughly how much power a graphics card is consuming under load. We stress the GPU to the max, and the processor as little as possible. The methodology: We have a device constantly monitoring the power draw from the PC. Let's have a look at how much power draw we measure with this graphics card installed. No further configuration is required or needed unless you like to tweak the settings, for which you can open the NVIDIA control panel. Once done, we boot into Windows, install the latest drivers and after a reboot, all should be working. Download the latest NVIDIA GeForce drivers here.Purchase a proper power supply, calculate/estimate your peak power consumption for the entire PC, and double that number for the power supply. Preferably get yourself a power supply that has these PCIe PEG connectors natively as converting them from a Molex Peripheral connector in this year and age is a no-go. Once the card is seated into the PC make sure you hook up the monitor and of course any external power connectors like 6 and/or 8-pin PEG power connectors. Installation of any of the Nvidia GeForce cards is really easy.
