Review on MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 D6 Ventus XS OC ๐ŸŽฎ Graphics Card - 4GB GDRR6, HDMI/DP/DVI, DirectX 12, VR Ready, HDCP Support by Jose Mcdaniel

Cool, quiet and requires no additional power. Good successor to other x50 cards.

I'm a Linux user and I like having a cool, quiet, low-power graphics card to use with Second Life. This replaced the 1050 TI on my system, so it didn't improve performance as much as others with a card older than the 1050 TI, about 25% or so. It's quieter than the 1050 TI I had, probably because it's a dual fan model and my 1050 TI was a single fan. Please note this is the TU117 GDDR6 version with Volta encoder. If you need Turing encoding, you need the TU106/TU116 version. This version of this card is overclocked, it overclocks to 2130MHz and the memory is faster than the GDDR5 version. This card reminds me of the old GT640 rev 2 on how it can boost performance.
