Nothing against this card. I bought it for my nephew when I was building a PC for him at the same time I was building one for my son. I felt bad I bought him this and a 1660ti for my son who is younger, so I went to exchange it for another 1660ti for him.

Awesome Graphics - Terrible Driver Experience

Before buying a GTX 1650, I had heard that getting the drivers was a problem. That is an understatement. Nvidia uses an application called Geforce Experience to identify the card and install the drivers. I strongly recommend you have that website bookmarked before you install this card.
I was replacing a GTX 1050 2GB card with HDMI and Display ports. Nvidia's GeForce Experience app had already been installed. My machine booted up at 800x600 resolution and the card itself was not identified by Windows. Geforce Experience was nowhere to be found. I had to reinstall it to get the 1650 drivers. If you have never installed a discreate graphics card before from Nvidia, I can tell you from experience this is a common occurance. Be ready to install it again.
The PNY has 1 HDMI port and one duel-linked DVI-D connection. Be warned that the DVI-D connection does not work until the drivers are installed. If using a dual monitor setup, make sure to plug into the HDMI port for setup (using a HDMI to DVI-D connector will not work until the drivers are installed).
Now for the good news. The graphics delivered from this card are gorgeous. At 1080, running two monitors barely caused the card to pay attention. Running multiple instances of my favorite online game at high quality was consisderably smoother than on the 1050. I cannot vouch for VR or 1440 gaming, but I was extremely satisfied with the performance I received at 1080.
Also keep in mind that this card runs off the motherboard's power. No extra connectors, no need for a larger power supply. If you have 300 watts, you are good. If you are looking for an entry level gaming graphics card, it may be hard to beat the 1650 unless you are willing to upgrade other computer parts. If you are willing to upgarde power supplies, the 1660ti may be a better value.
-1 star for the terrible driver install process.

Mine failed in about 4 months. Started locking up my computer and corrupting files on my SSD. My computer has worked just fine after replacing this video with a different one. Had to re-install Windows due to the corrupted files.

Although you can probably get a better deal with a different graphics card, I bought this more on a whim without really doing any research on it since I just needed to replace my graphics card at the time. If you can, you might want to opt for the RX 580 or something which will only be a few bucks more if anything yet you'll get more performance.
I ended up overclocking this and I was able to reach up to 2000mhz on it. I haven't pushed it any further since I want to wait to get a better CPU. So the performance is there, you just have to get it.
Runs very well in playing games at 1080p with at least 50fps or more on High/Ultra settings. Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Battlefield 5, are both games I've tested. It'll be able to run splendidly on CSGO, LoL, Overwatch, and Fortnite as those aren't as heavily dependent on graphics cards.

Certainly you can buy a better video card but for the amount of money this is hard to beat. Plays my PC games in 4K prefect 5 star.
