    You get what you play for, but if you need a graphics card to play at 1080p this will work. Better than the 580 and other low end cards, watch YouTube reviews. Great FPS per $ spent ratio.

    Purchased this for a micro atx buildout for my brother. Due to the smaller size and heatsink, under heavy load / stress test / benchmarks it does run a bit hot settling into the 80s with its normal fan curve. Manually increasing the curve drops the temps into the 70's but it runs a bit loud. In the end, the size trade off is it just runs warmer. Other than that, it performs just like a 1650 should and gets the job done at a somewhat affordable price during these times. It is replacing an old Radeon 7850 which it absolutely crushes at less than half the size.

    If you're looking for performance for good a 1080p gaming experience this card is for you. Performs similar to gtx 980nonti, and between the 10606gb and 1070. Could be better if given more vram though. Max settings warzone yields 70-90 fps. And unlike those older cards you're getting support for applications from nvidia such as rtx voice and utilize nvenc.

    Great card for 1080p Gaming. Only a single fan card , and no Backplate. Still this card performs well and stays at decent temps when gaming.

    1650 SUPER! Thank God I bought this when I did. If you can get one they're pretty good for the price. Though the newer cards will probably be better performance per dollar if you can find one of these for a decent price it will work well for 1080p gaming. It's currently running wow at 4k max settings (but it's wow)

    I am not one to spend $1000 on a GPU and since I was upgrading a GTX 1050, buying this was a logical step, and since I purchased it before the price increase, I jumped on it. So I play some older games while World of Warcraft is my gaming staple and has been for 14 years and this card is fine for that, specially Shadowlands, With the GTX 1050 I was getting jitter in Shadowlands. Funny thing, I am running a 2011 Sandy Bridge I5 chip and 8 Meg of DDR3 XMS ram (but ordered an additional 8 meg and a Noctura CPU cooling fan) for my existing cooler because I am OC'ing the I5 to 4300 MHZ. So yesterday, I benchmarked with a score of 7600 with Superposition so I am happy and beat out the same GPU in an ASUS flavor that was running a Gen 3 Ryzen 9 - 3900. This PNY is a solid card and I am happy to own it.

    Perfect for a $600-700 Gaming PC

    The GTX 1650S is a magnificent mid-range Video Card/GPU. It can run most games, even Triple A games, on at least 60fps, medium-high settings and able to record footages using just the Video Card/GPU itself, without using any Video Capture Cards (Ex. Elgato), by using the Nvidia Gefore Experience Application (Most Video Cards/GPUs are capable of doing this, but it’s worth noting). This GPU is best used on a monitor with a refresh rate of 60Hz, 75Hz, or 120Hz. 144Hz will work as well, but the refresh rate wont be used at it’s peaked performance, unless you are planning to stick with the 144Hz for a long period of time and has upgrade to a much more power GPU, like the RTX GPUs. It is also worth noting that since this 1650 Super variant only has 1 fan, it will be often quiet, even during gaming time. Overall, I would recommend this card for people on a budget for a mid range Gaming PC and don’t mind super high resolution.

    I bought this right before the price increase happen so the value for the performance is great. The GPU is quiet and perform quite well against modern games at 1080p resolutions. I do not have 4K monitor so I cannot opine on the performance when running at 4K.

    A good value for 1080P gaming

    While most people rip on PNY for being a “lesser than“ GPU manufacturer, I found this card to be perfectly acceptable for 1080P gaming. I was able to get 90 to 100 FPS on Forza horizon 4 (which I believe was on the ultra preset to my recollection) though there are plenty of benchmarking videos on YouTube which can show you how the 1650 super performs with other modern-ish titles. In terms of frames-per-dollar, the 1650 is competitive with the rx 570 and rx 580 as the most “bang-for-your-buck” options out there. Though I didn’t use it for long, this card was otherwise reliable despite what the PC elitists may say. Overall, if all you’re after is some affordable 1080p gaming, you can’t go wrong with this card.

    This card was great for the value! It seems to be a relatively new version and it upgraded my budget gaming system. For games where I was getting 50 FPS with a 1050 TI I am now getting 100+ FPS. It is noisier but its easy to not notice while gaming.

    Purchased the XLR8 card along with an EVGA 600-watt power supply that came with the 6 pin PCIE to power the card with. If you do not have an available 6 pin PCIe cable, then you will need to purchase an adapter. Installed components in about 30 minutes +/-. Running FSX flight simulator with this card is night and day opposed to the embedded Intel graphic card which only allowed low FPS with minimal settings.

    Upgrade from 1050

    This was an upgrade on a gaming machine from a GTX 1050 2 GB. Noticeable improvement in level of detail supported by some games on 1440p gaming monitor. CPU is a Ryzen 5 2nd Gen. Note this card requires additional power I think it is a 100 watt TDP, which means it requires you have a spare 6 pin connector from the Power Supply Unit (PSU). This forced an upgrade of the PSU.

    This graphics card offers substantial value at the price, and is pretty silent. Great for a friend of mine just starting up in his PC gaming hobby. Gimicky plastic shroud but I don't expect much at this price point.

    I needed a card to work with a 450W power supply that would still run modern games, and this is working wonderfully. I can play Witcher 3 and Borderlands 3 on the default 1080p settings flawlessly. I'm using it in a Dell XPS tower. I was concerned it might not quite fit, but it fit perfectly. As a huge bonus, I haven't heard the fan run once in over a month. I'm surprised it's so quiet. I love it!

    Bought this card for my HTPC to replace my old, very basic graphics card. The old one was no where near sufficient to stream 4K video and resulted in a bunch of lag and skipping. This card is probably overkill but after some research, I found this card to be the best value for the price, and I wanted some wiggle room in terms of power in case my needs change down the road. Also the small form factor allows it to fit perfectly in a smaller case. You may be able to find this card cheaper elsewhere if you don't need it ASAP, but I wanted to get the problem fixed that day. Overall I'm very pleased with this card.

    I purchased this card specifically to play Microsoft Flight simulator and it worked very well for me. I do not normally play games on PC but did not want to wait for the console version of MS Flight Simulator. This card fit the bill for my purposes and was very reasonably priced.
