Colorful and MSI have introduced their own models for the GeForce GTX 1630, a new dedicated graphics card that will become the most basic and cheapest in the NVIDIA catalog by 2022, with launch scheduled for tomorrow.

More than three years after the launch of the GeForce GTX 1650, a new version of this series is coming. “Rehash”, yes, with the completely outdated “Turing” architecture. (for two generations this year), but motivated by a time of shortage of supplies and crazy prices, which put pressure on the sector.

Without ray tracing, without DLSS, with too modest features and a graphics market that will stabilize, I would not personally opt for this type of desktop model, but it is here for those who need Cheap and low-power GPUs. Maybe for home cinema? Maybe for a mini-PC?

GeForce GTX 1630, the cheapest

The Colorful and MSI lists confirm the specifications we operated, the low number of CuDA cores; dedicated memory, its bus and bandwidth; its consumption and bus and core frequency, although this may vary if it is supplied by the manufacturers overclocked as standard. You can see this more clearly with the MSI model specifications:

Most cards in this series correspond to the reference consumption 75W and some offer external power connectors, usually one 6-pin PCI. Manufacturers will release the cooling design with two and one fan as the MSI model in low-profile shape factors, in our opinion the most interesting in this series.

In terms of prices, there is talk of $ 150 as a reference. For the price, as has been said: There are better solutions than this in features / price as you can see in our graphics card wizard which we recommend.
