Review on ASUS Phoenix GTX 1650 OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card - Enhanced Performance, PCIe 3.0, 4GB GDDR6 Memory, HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, Axial-tech Fan Design by Ken Hamdan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good entry-level GPU powered by PCIE slot

I installed it on my Dell Inspiron 3670 (Intel i5-9400 and 12GB RAM) and it works great. It was the fastest GPU I could find and didn't require a separate power connector. Instead, this efficient little guy gets all the power it needs from a PCIE slot and is powered by my anemic 290W PSU. I can play all modern games at 1080p on high settings at 60 fps and it's a great upgrade for a ready PC. Please note that the GPU dissipates its heat into the case, so you may need to upgrade your cooling system. My Dell PC case didn't have fans, so I added two 80mm fans with a separate 12V power supply to keep them running, since my Dell uses a proprietary power supply, motherboard, and power connector with no additional ones Fan connectors or Molex connectors used.
