NVIDIA to Launch GeForce GTX 1650 Next Month

This is what happens when you compete with yourself.
 
currently gaming on a GTX 1050 (not Ti). I have actually been looking to upgrade that, but with all of the cards being thrown out, I am just stuck confused as to what provides the best $/performance. I know it isn't the 1050 (but i got it super cheap on eBay).
As is, I will just wait. 1050 does well enough, I suppose.

Should be faster than the GTX 1050ti but slower than the RX570. $150 is a bit better than speculated. Still leaves a spot for a GTX 1650ti that could really dominate the $175 (rx580) price point.

Oh, it does? You actually want different product for evey $25 when shopping for a video card, or a CPU? That makes zero sense to me as a consumer. Absolute madness.

I guess this is what decades of marketing conditioning has done to society. People are LOVING this bullshit.

Too many GPU options, what a terrible world we live in....

Why stop there. They should start enabling/disabling different control options for every little price bracket just like Intel does. This way the consumer always wins, right? Progress!

I am not getting what problems more options would cause, though I expect it won't be $25 more. More like $40 or $50.

You could have
1650: 140
1650Ti: 180
1660: 220
1660Ti: 260

Then step them down in $10 increments as the market saturates, or competition increases.

It does appear that the 1650 is a cut down chip, since the laptop version has more active cores.

Why do you want fewer options as a consumer? Having options available means more choice for you, surely?
 
"Absolute Madness!...has done to society." That was a bit much.

Anyhow, pretty cruddy of nVidia to hold back the launch drivers.
 
If they make it a low profile card, I am all for it. The current selection and price of low profile cards is awful.

Yeah but the LP cards usually aren't cheap. You would think smaller = cheaper but not so much.

A company saturating the market with lots and lots of redundant products equals the exact opposite of "more options" to me.

What is redundant about them? GPU chips always have at least one cut down part, to aid it scavenging damaged dies. So having two products per chip is normal silicon economics, not redundant.

Also the amount of products may have increased by 2, because the of split between RTX and GTX this time out, so you get double the 60 series parts (1660 and 2060), but they don't really compete with each other.

So really, I am not seeing a huge change here, and skipping any chip in the lineup seems like It would leave a fairly large gap.

As with this entire generation, the only real criticism is pricing.
 
we need more competion from amd in the high end. its getting to the point that nvidia can slap a turd in a green and black wrapper and sell it
 
Also the amount of products may have increased by 2...

then a few lines later we have this

I am having a massive problem following your logic. It's not even naive. This is straight up malice. Or we just don't have a lot in common.

uh huh. I absolutely do not agree with you and the others that have expressed such opinions.

Not sure what you logic challenge is. But 2 more product SKUs is NOT a huge change, so there is no conflict with those statements. Also that is only a potential for 2 more if we assume they fill all the old niches and overlap 60 series with GTX and RTX versions. Currently there are more Pascal Variants than Turing Variants.


Pascal: 1030, 1050, 1050ti, 1060 3GB, 1060 6GB, 1070, 1070Ti, 1080, 1080 Ti.

Turing: 1650, 1660, 1660Ti, 2060, 2070, 2080, 2080ti

Am I missing a lot of Turing cards? Because I really can't understand the complaint, since there are currently less Turing models than Pascal models.

A 1060 6GB or 1070 is fairly cheap now, depending on what you're looking for an upgrade path.
 
They should release a 3080Ti @ $750-800 so that I can upgrade my 1080Ti...this!

I refuse to pay $1400 for a 2080Ti

I realize this is an older post when price gouging may have been worse, but reference cards are $1,069 at Microcenter. You have to get into the non-reference designs or cards that come with waterblocks in order to see a $1,400 price tag. Even my GIGABYTE Aorus Xtreme RTX 2080Ti wasn't that expensive.

Yeah you missed the Titan RTX.

Huh. I honestly never thought about it that way. I was under the impression that nvidia is still selling Pascal chips. If not, then I am sorry.
 
Can we get a 1680Ti in the $650-750 bracket with at least 20% more performance than the 1080Ti, please?

Pretty sure, they were still selling Maxwell when Pascal came out.

If you have a point, you are really failing to make it.
 
The only card of this generation that I'm waiting for.

Specifically for that upgraded Turing NVENC for my Plex server. Give me a low profile 1650 in the $150-180 range and I'm sold.
ive been out of the loop in regards to hardware acceleration regarding plex

1. isnt intel"s IGP supperior in performance vs NVEC ?
2.does plex not support hardware acceleration from most vendors ? a year + back there was almost 0 support
 
all vendors have horrible marketing when it comes to names i dont understand anything anymore :|

Why would anyone want to decompress, then recompress video(that i assume is already ripped and degraded to begin with) ? Just play it off a share

Well to transcode for people to view on data etc to save data etc
