Conclusion and Verdict
In conclusion, the Gigabyte 1650 is a solid option at a somewhat affordable price. When are buying a product from Gigabyte you can be assured that quality will meet or exceed expectations. The 1650 returned results that we could have expected from a 4GB card. We were able to achieve a decent overclock but the performance gain was negligible due to the bottleneck of having so little RAM. On the other hand we have a pretty good cooling solution to keep this chip nice and cool. There are a few options for LED’s on this card granted they are almost negligible but, I personally, love anything that has any option for RGB lighting.
Now for the Grit. Would I buy this over the AMD 580?……I am going to go with a soft no. I can get a 580 for cheaper than this particular 1650. The price of the 1650 is going to have to go way down for me to consider it over the latter. The only bright side is the power consumption. This card has very little draw.
The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming OC 4G

Cons:

Final Thoughts:
Gigabyte always produces a reliable product and they have once again answered the call and provided us with the GeForce GTX 1650. Unfortunately the card, at this price, is going to have a hard time competing with similar priced competitors.
