Today we will cover the Gigabyte 1650. I assume the 1650 will be the competition for AMD, competing directly against the 570/580 but I think it will be hard to beat the price/performance ratio you are getting from the AMD cards when you can find them new for 149 bucks. Can Nvidia gobble up this share of the market with the iteration in front of us today? Well lets get to it and see what we have with the Gigabyte 1650 Gaming 4GB Video Card!
Gigabyte is long known for manufacturing some of the best iterations of the new chipset. I have owned several flavors over the years and have never been disappointed with the performance of any of those cards I have personally owned. Gigabyte seems to have a pretty good grasp on what it takes to achieve superb performance and looks good while doing so! We will delve into the specs of this card and if you are like me and just want the benchmarks those will be on page 5!
