The GTX1650 from PNY is a powerful little card. It fits in small cases and doesn't require a huge power supply to run it. It requires a 300 watt or more. This card doesn't need the extra cable that most cards need from the power supply to work either so it can run fine with a computer thats running a dell power supply or hp etc. It works directly from the pcie slot which is great.

Solid Compact Card, Low Power Draw

This is overall a decent card if you are in the niche market of a compact card with low power draw.
Pros: Compact, TDP of 75 watts, No external power connector, Quiet
Cons: Only 1 HDMI Port, Price is high compared to other GTX 1650 models, AMD cards can outperform at the same or lower price point (although with a much higher TDP).
Some other reviews have mentioned difficulty with the driver installation. However, I installed Geforce Experience and it automatically downloaded the drivers no problem.

Great graphics, tidy driver UI, regular updates. Best of all- no longer dealing with the issue I was having with the Dell onboard graphics card and losing my second monitor constantly. This card supports dual monitor very well.

1080P Gaming on Medium-High Settings

This little card packs a punch! I had a hard time realizing that there was a card inside the box because it's so light!!! It runs on it's own PCIE power, and the PNY Velocity X OC software is a MUST!!! Great if you are limited on space but still want to enjoy decent 720P or 1080P gaming! It was a good deal at $149.99 clearance price. You can probably get the MSI 1650 twin fan version for a similar price, but again, this card targets space!

This is a lower end card by today's standards, but was still compatible with my 6 year old MSI motherboard and worked with PCI-e slot. More then enough dedicated video resource to smoothly keep up with any current game environment.

This card is great considering it is only 75 W. Does not require external power and still 60 FPS at max settings for most games on 1080P

I wanted an upgrade from an old Quadro card in a Dell T3500 workstation i use for gaming. I’ve had a lot of power consumption problems with ATI brands so i tried this card out. It works like a blast.
As others said, the Nvidea autodetect tool might not find a driver or says it failed, but just go to Control Panel>System>Device Manager and right click on the display adapter then click update driver. Windows 10 will find it.
I got my card for $149 in store btw, the website was $25 higher.

For 1080 gaming, this is a great card. Just bought it for Minecraft bedrock at our house to get the living room computer to perform a bit better. Render chunks went from 48 up to 80 and a lot less lag.

Purchased because pricing within my budget. Easy to install, got it for FSX, thought it would run FSX at max graphic settings but it falls short. Other program graphics operations are improved. Was wanting a card for dual monitors also, have not tried dual monitor operation yet.
