I have been looking for graphic card to upgrade my son's PC with very small case. This is a very good card for price, you can run most games with 1080 res. You can buy more expensive cards with better proformance, but in my case we had a budget set. With adding SSD, 16G memory and this card it gave new life to his PC. Anymore money spend would be better to just get new gaming PC.
Graphic card is easy to install, it need 6pin power and runs very quiet. Nivida software take care of all drivers. Totally worth it if you are trying to upgrade current graphic card with more momery, faster gpu and does not require lot of power that you have replace power supply.

If you are looking for a graphics card that can easily handle 1080p gaming at high settings with low power requirements, this is it. I purchased this card to upgrade a 7-year-old pre-build from Asus. It was a huge improvement from the weak GT630 that came with my machine. This card does require a 6-pin power connector so make sure you have one free. I had to use a twin molex to 6-pin adapter for mine to work. If you also have a low-wattage power supply and don't have any free plugs, check out the standard GTX 1650, which powers straight from the PCIe slot. The new version of the standard 1650 also features GDDR6 memory like the Super, it just doesn't have as many CUDA cores.

I bought this GPU as a place holder until all the 30 series become available again. I have been impressed by the performance this card has in games like Fortnite, CS:GO and Warzone. Absolutely a great value to performance ratio.

Graphics cards are extremely hard to find right now, but I managed to grab this one, and it works. I haven't tried any newer AAA games on it, but it's doing a fine job powering my 1440p monitor and playing a few older games. Small form factor and low power consumption makes it a good choice for ITX builds; it stays relatively cool/quiet and fits in a tight space. Probably not what you want for more high-performance tasks, but I guess we'll take whatever we can get when it comes to GPUs these days...

XLR8 Single Fan GTX 1650 Super - Excellent @ price

This card has very good performance for the price. Upgraded from on board HD4000 video. Doesn't need a high power supply, 450W and up is fine. Runs cool, fan is quiet to medium noise depending on load.
Fits easily in a mini tower case. Small size makes it easy to install, didn't have to reroute any cables.
Three connectors, one each of Display Port, HDMI, and DVI-D so it can connect to new or older monitors. Would need a Display Port or HDMI to VGA adapter for VGA though.

Solid 1080p Gaming For The $$$

Great performance in Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Resident Evil 2&3 remakes, Doom & Doom Eternal (all high or ultra settings 1080p 60+fps). This card is equal or greater to RX580 or GTX 1060 in performance but with much better power consumption (only 100 watts). I wish more graphics cards were this compact and ran this cool and quiet (45c-60c while gaming). Very satisfied with this purchase.

Got this one on sale and needed a little upgrade boost for my older computer. It worked like a charm and I was bale to get a bigger and higher resolution monitor and have enough power to drive the graphics for my photo editing and everything else. Quick and easy swap from my old card to this new card. (bot NVIDIA) Everything continues to run fine with no glitches so far. Hoping it stays that way. This coupled with the new monitor was a great treat and so much wanted.

Great value for 1080p gaming

PROS: small card (less than 7 inches long), runs quietly, mildly overclocked out of the box, only needs a single 6-pin power connector, plays most modern games at 1080p / 60 FPS with high/ultra settings (example: Gears 4), can play older games at 4K / 60 FPS on high ultra (example: Borderlands 2)
CONS: it struggles to play newer games at 4K, but that should be expected at this price point

Was looking for a near MSRP card to play AOE 2 DE in 4k. The card was near msrp and in stock. It is well built but not a looker, no back plate or the heat sink is a basic extruded aluminum one) . I was surprised by the height of the card (it is good 1" higher than the mounting bracket). It is whisper quiet for the most part even with a basic cooler (no heat pipes). Over all it is great. I would buy the 10$ cheaper non XLR8 version if in stock but this basically the same card (over clock is 55mhz or less than 3%). And needless to say AOE 3 DE runs great in 4K with all max settings (although the game probably does not need much ... it wont play on intel IGP 630 HD graphics).

Was one of the only graphics cards I was able to find in stock, I purchased this for a PC I built a week ago and it's running great. Can run Fallout 4, Valorant, Phasmophobia, Farcry (New Dawn, 5, and Primal), Fortnite, Rust, and many other games at at least 90 FPS with high quality settings 1440p (most games are above 120 and go up to 300). I'm glad I bought this card, even if it was a little more expensive, instead of buying a different card for $200-$300 more.
P.S. it was very easy to install and connect, no additional drivers or downloads were needed and it works well with MSI Afterburner :)

Best Value Card

Chris' review above is spot on. This card is faster and cheaper than an RX 580. Price dips sub $150 every now and then, but still a great value at reg price. Highly recommend for smaller form factor machines, budget builds, and older pre-builds/Dell's/HPs. Whatever you do, do NOT buy the older 1650 (non super). It's priced the same for some reason and is terrible (GDDR5).

Excellent small GPU

Installed in older dell Optiplex 790 tower to extend life and it really works well. I have it driving a 4k monitor and it's wonderful.
Handles medium 3D modeling in Revit and SketchUp, but haven't tested for extreme light or shading. I don't use for gaming, so can't offer opinion there. Multiple windows and large PDF files (200 MB+) work much faster than before.
Form factor is small. I didn't need the space, but could see it working well if space is an issue.
Judging from my research, this was the most economic GPU I found. Lower models seemed to have limited improvement. The GPU required upgrading the power supply (PSU) as well, which was much easier than I expected.

Bought this at 170 bucks to replace my 750ti and its working really well. Its small size fits really well in my cheap case while also being quiet. Can play lots of games at high settings with no issues whatsoever. Would recommend to people upgrading from older low to mid-range cards.
