@oxfordsparky it's fine as an upgrade for an old machine, or a used office pc. You can play plenty of games on it if you don't expect it to be great at new AAA titles. A 1050ti class card is more capable than you'd think if you manage expectations. Probably on par with a launch ps4 or so.

The single slot LP design one is the cheapest and all are slot-power only so at least the 6400 fits a (small) niche tho still too expensive IMO. The 1630 fits a price point for Nvidia and that's it.
If you get a 3gb(somewhat rare now) version of the GTX 660 TI, it does perform better than the 1630. If you get two 3gb versions of the GTX660 TI in SLI they perform much better than a 1630. But that just depends on what game.

I agree, this is not a bad GPU, it just has a bad price. If this came out for $50-70 this would've been a good GPU to put it in an office PC or an old DELL Optiplex build. The GTX 1630 is good enough if you do E-Sports titles or low demanding games.
I checked the uk market, £150 new. An absolutely awful price as even the rx 6500xt is far more powerful and cheaper. Even the rx6400 is better in performance and starts at £115. There is pretty much no reason for the 1630 to exist

on its own the power usage is pretty good. but considering the 1650 uses nearly identical power (max 75 watt) while giving better performance means even that targument is not really valid. The 1630 really is a waste of money.
Only reason to buy if it is your only option to upgrade an older Optiplex/prebuilt that doesn't have a PSU with 6-pin or 8-pin PCI-E power connectors. If one does you're getting off getting a used GTX 960 or better yet something even better like GTX 1060 3GB or the RX 470 used. They'll perform better in 95% of games and be cheaper!

Same! I also put pcie 4.0 into consideration by pairing it with an 11400F and its been a beast of a card considering i havent had a gpu since my ati radeon from many years ago. However it has some coil whine in oddly specific cases such as clearing the screen in oe cake which can be solved by capping the fps and stressing it for a pretty long time
Oh god, this card... It's not a successor to the 1030 when a lot of models require a power connector (oh, and the card is too expensive anyway) and it's not a gaming card due to the poor performance you're getting. You might as well get a 1050ti, which performs slightly better, but I know the 1050Ti's limits because I have one in my gaming laptop!
I had a GTX 1650. It could run games like fallout almost fine with bottlenecks. I am fine with my GTX 1070 from ebay for now. But for new fallout game i would consider to switch to a new RTX graphics.
where I live they tried so hard to sell me that card but I opted for the 1050ti (4gb) stormX Palet the one without the power connectors... such good choice... only have to redo the thermal paste once in a while when temps go up ,,, I bought mine in early 2020 and never had any issues with it otherwise apart from a mistake over clocking it a little which made it act up but restore it back to its defaults and never bothered again .. why tweak something that works just fine for me!! good video as per
If there's a way, these pc games should be tested on the highest end flagship smartphones for instance the ROG phone 7 ultimate. I've got a feeling that it might show better performance than the cheap gpus out there! (if there's proper driver support ig)
basically its a 710, nothing more then a fancy display adapter. But pretty sure the OEM's are happy about this card, because they can write nVidea GTX on it.
My sister got a 1030 DDR4 instead of GDDR5 so we send it back and she had the choice between 1630 and RX 6400. Glad she went with AMD, it's a really nice small GPU.
1050 ti’s are pretty expensive where (I live still I live in Mexico btw) they’re about 130-150 for them and these are about 10-20 dollars cheaper sometimes so these are a better option I would say where I live considering the extra support since it’s a newer card
What about using it in something like a PLEX server, I am not sure if it has an encoder or anything, but just wondering if that would be a good use for one
Is Palit a European brand? I'm really not familiar with them aside from occasionally hearing them mentioned, and it's usually mentioned by people from the UK.

GTX 1630, GTX 1630, GTX 1630, THIS IS WHAT THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT FOR THE THOSE LIKE ME WHO DID NOT KNOW BEFORE THEY STARTED WATCHING THIS VIDEO. Here's a piece of advice dude, put the name of the graphics card you are reviewing into your title! 🙂
I totally forgot about this card. Also the 1030, you don't see them anywhere in the secondhand market. They were the card to settle for during the pandemic.
I know running recent games is good to see how the card handles those games. But with the rise of indie games and a lot of cases of them outselling modern games. Would be interesting to see a indie only set up. Then with a few FP2 games thrown in. Maybe find a sweet spot for price and performance.
@@RandomGaminginHD i watched your most recent review on one and then seen this one in my local CEX, i was on a sapphire nitro 8gb rx570 wasn't really looking to upgrade but thought as i've got a 2nd gen r7 2700 having a spare gpu on hand isn't a bad call
@@Rapscallion2009 i bought it as a spare to keep my aging system going, they are still getting updates currently how long it'll continue is unknown though. it's supported in all current games i play and should continue to be able to play same games, obviously there will come a point where future games won't be supported but i imagine the hardware may become the limiting factor over the drivers
You don't need to go for a 2nd hand 1050, just get a rx580 or a 1660S/ti for 60-90$. Sure they've been mined but if U inspect the card carefully and find a healthy one, after some cleanup-repaste it's gonna be MUCH better value than this one
It's far worse than a RX 6500xt! It can run circles around the GTX 1630. If I had an optiplex, I would use a RX 6400. Nvidia was high thinking the GTX 1630 can compete in this price range. The 6500xt is a terrible gpu. But the 1630 is even worse gpu of 2022!
This is not a worthy successor to the 1030. I had a 1030, it rarely consumed over 20Ws. The 1630 consumes about the triple of that for delivering double preformance. That would be acceptable if the 1630 would cost almost the same as the 1030.
I can't believe that the 1630 is really a thing. The power consumption is almost the same as the 1650 at 75W and yet it's just a 1050-Ti with slightly worse performance. Couldn't they just continue in the 1650 or 1660 version? The partnered manufacturers are also getting out of hand since 2020. Powercolor, PNY, Gainward, Inno3D (That one with those ancient GPUs back from the 90s), WHO ARE THEY? They literally have the crappiest designs. Each partnered manufacturer has different clock and memory speeds. There's a small 1650 with no external power and with an aluminum heatsink, meanwhile somewhere in the universe, there's a 1650 with 6 or 8-pin power connector and a giant ass heatsink with 2 heatpipes holding the temps under 50°C all time. I think there must be some rules so we could prevent the waste. I understand that all manufacturers make a potential cut out of each GPU bought, but It's pretty unfair to make a GPU with the same die, but with a different power.
If someone buying one for old systems power connector or not is not a big deal. You'll need adapters, yes. But every PSU in these systems can support this GPU anyway, power consumption is low and only reason why they've put connector on them was that some OEM boards can't provide standard 75W through PCI reliably ("screw standards, just put cheap crap on marke and nobody will ever notice" mentality of these companies). But please, don't buy this junk anyway :)
This was a vile restock from Nvidia to "fill in the gpu shortage"

I got one and I use it in a PC and it purrs along just nicely. The 1630 did also get a bad time when released but I bet that it sold well to those who were running APUs and suffering for it. Thanks for the video :-)
Same! I also put pcie 4.0 into consideration by pairing it with an 11400F and its been a beast of a card considering i havent had a gpu since my ati radeon from many years ago. However it has some coil whine in oddly specific cases such as clearing the screen in oe cake which can be solved by capping the fps and stressing it for a pretty long time
I'm still amazed at how much better my old 1080 is compared to this 1 year old card....
the GTX 1080 it's still trading blows with the RTX 3060 except for the amount of vram... exactly like the RTX 4060
Yep, you know something's wrong, when it gets beat by a late-2010s video card!
I still love to game with my RX570 to this day, it's an old warrior.
I... Had no idea this existed. I am at a genuine loss that I missed this. I guess it is really that bad.
I found a 980 ti and 1060 6gb for $50 and 1070 for as low as $65 and 1070 ti for $100, definitely not worth buying this thing
Would putting the setting a down to 720 high get you closer to 60 fps? Or would you still have to have the settings on low ?
it not bad gpu it bad price
The "GTX" 1630? You're probably better off with a GTX 1060 3GB to be honest. They can be found for as little as $50 here in Canada.
Yep, the '1630 should be called "GT"!
Oh god, this card... It's not a successor to the 1030 when a lot of models require a power connector (oh, and the card is too expensive anyway) and it's not a gaming card due to the poor performance you're getting. You might as well get a 1050ti, which performs slightly better, but I know the 1050Ti's limits because I have one in my gaming laptop!
Great video as usual
Thanks again!
from $130-150 budget one of Best Gpu to get is a used gtx 1080,5700xt or for lower power Consumption Rx 6600
yeah the 6600 remains a great deal especially
I had a GTX 1650.
It could run games like fallout almost fine with bottlenecks.
I am fine with my GTX 1070 from ebay for now.
But for new fallout game i would consider to switch to a new RTX graphics.
where I live they tried so hard to sell me that card but I opted for the 1050ti (4gb) stormX Palet the one without the power connectors... such good choice... only have to redo the thermal paste once in a while when temps go up ,,, I bought mine in early 2020 and never had any issues with it otherwise apart from a mistake over clocking it a little which made it act up but restore it back to its defaults and never bothered again .. why tweak something that works just fine for me!! good video as per
If there's a way, these pc games should be tested on the highest end flagship smartphones for instance the ROG phone 7 ultimate. I've got a feeling that it might show better performance than the cheap gpus out there!
(if there's proper driver support ig)
Nvidia just be trolling us just to see if they can get away with it.
basically its a 710, nothing more then a fancy display adapter. But pretty sure the OEM's are happy about this card, because they can write nVidea GTX on it.
Didn't even know it existed. I do have a 1650 Super (amongst others) which I got new and runs great in my HTPC.
Love the 1650 super!
Just love your content with cool background of garden !❤
Glad you enjoy it!
I buyed a 6500XT for $99 in 2022 and it came with a game for free (Dead Island 2). The 1630 is really not worth.
Awesome :)
My sister got a 1030 DDR4 instead of GDDR5 so we send it back and she had the choice between 1630 and RX 6400. Glad she went with AMD, it's a really nice small GPU.
Yeah the 6400 is ok at the right price for sure, and brilliant in comparison to this lol
As a video adapter+ for like, I dunno, 50-70 Quid then yeah, perhaps. The thing is though APUs have pushed beyond this
Yeah I think £79 would have been fair too.
1050 ti’s are pretty expensive where (I live still I live in Mexico btw) they’re about 130-150 for them and these are about 10-20 dollars cheaper sometimes so these are a better option I would say where I live considering the extra support since it’s a newer card
Oh yeah in that case this makes more sense
You should test cards in Tabletop Simulator at Ultra settings for the funny
You must try games on 720p or even 600x800 with this card
What about using it in something like a PLEX server, I am not sure if it has an encoder or anything, but just wondering if that would be a good use for one
Not worth it, get an older Quadro like P620 ($50 or less).
Is Palit a European brand? I'm really not familiar with them aside from occasionally hearing them mentioned, and it's usually mentioned by people from the UK.
This card doesn't even deserve GTX name for that performance. Should be GT card instead.
i find it comical it sells for the exact same amount as the 1650, this realy should have been
Thanks for including Battlebit Remastered
For some reason I found this lower settings graphics in the Far Cry 6 game just looks a bit more realistic than the game in ultra
This card should be named GT 1630 not GTX 1630......
Thought this video would be about the 6500xt. That was also a real awful card when it released.
Yep, pretty much only worth it, if you have Intel integrated graphics to use Quick Sync or another card for a capture card, LOL. Otherwise, recording can be slideshow!
wouldn't be the first time Nvidia released a bit of a turd. FX series has entered the chat
Especially FX 5200 and FX 5500.
Never even knew those existed, only thought it was the 1650 and 1660
GTX 1630, GTX 1630, GTX 1630, THIS IS WHAT THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT FOR THE THOSE LIKE ME WHO DID NOT KNOW BEFORE THEY STARTED WATCHING THIS VIDEO. Here's a piece of advice dude, put the name of the graphics card you are reviewing into your title! 🙂
Why tf did the 1630 have a 6 pin connector when the 1650 didn’t AND had a low profile variant
I totally forgot about this card. Also the 1030, you don't see them anywhere in the secondhand market. They were the card to settle for during the pandemic.
a lot of those would be completely playable if you'd just lower the resolution down to 900 or 720p
Cards like this should have a molex power connector if they’re going to have one at all.
To think about it even an APU is "better" than this thing
I know running recent games is good to see how the card handles those games. But with the rise of indie games and a lot of cases of them outselling modern games. Would be interesting to see a indie only set up. Then with a few FP2 games thrown in. Maybe find a sweet spot for price and performance.
"Terrible value for money" seems to be the recurring trend of GPU's nowadays.
This should’ve been called GT 1630 and its MSRP shouldn’t be any higher than 119$.
i picked up an 8gb rx580 for £78 a few days ago, 1080 high setting shits all over this
Absolute deal. Still a solid card
I thought about it. But how long will they be supported for?
@@RandomGaminginHD i watched your most recent review on one and then seen this one in my local CEX, i was on a sapphire nitro 8gb rx570 wasn't really looking to upgrade but thought as i've got a 2nd gen r7 2700 having a spare gpu on hand isn't a bad call
@@Rapscallion2009 i bought it as a spare to keep my aging system going, they are still getting updates currently how long it'll continue is unknown though. it's supported in all current games i play and should continue to be able to play same games, obviously there will come a point where future games won't be supported but i imagine the hardware may become the limiting factor over the drivers
Can you do the same video for Rx6500xt
I have to be constantly reminded this card even exists, thanks Steve.
Glad I picked up an RX580 for only $50 (Original box too)!
Bargain!
@@RandomGaminginHD Thanks, however the $14 shipping was a bit steep. At least it's a Nitro+
I got what looks like the best variant of XFX RX 580 in 2019, 1405 MHz GPU boost clock out-of-the-box. It was less than $300.
Man thanks for reminding this gpu exist i literary forgot about this thing
It's all relative to what game or games you want to play I guess then. But $80 would have been a more attractive price.
You don't need to go for a 2nd hand 1050, just get a rx580 or a 1660S/ti for 60-90$.
Sure they've been mined but if U inspect the card carefully and find a healthy one, after some cleanup-repaste it's gonna be MUCH better value than this one
Is this the gtx 1630?
It's far worse than a RX 6500xt! It can run circles around the GTX 1630. If I had an optiplex, I would use a RX 6400. Nvidia was high thinking the GTX 1630 can compete in this price range. The 6500xt is a terrible gpu. But the 1630 is even worse gpu of 2022!
The biggest problem with this card is that the half-height 75W 1650 exists.
Paired with the right CPU, this seems like it would give OG PS4 and Xbox One performance. Maybe the Pro and X.
wow used 1050ti still go for 70 pounds? I just got an RX 580 8GB for $50.
RX 580 cards are less than $100 for the 8GB model.
Mining cards without fans and some problems.
Vram almost dead.
Rx 6500xt, rx 6400 and 1630 are so terrible you need to have serios mental issues to get them.
xd.
No encoders, x4 pcie 4.0
and poor performance xd
just get old 570, 480, rx
390x
280x
290x
gtx 1070
gtx 970
@@McLeonVP Exactly, i own an rx 570 myself and its a very damn good card let me tell you.
I was so excited for this
The fawkin low profile card is almost $200 on eBay!!!! WTF?? Same thing with the LP 1050 and 1050ti. I found a standard 1050 for 160 bucks. WTF?
This is not a worthy successor to the 1030. I had a 1030, it rarely consumed over 20Ws. The 1630 consumes about the triple of that for delivering double preformance. That would be acceptable if the 1630 would cost almost the same as the 1030.
It's GT 730 of 2022... For that money can grab RX 6600🤣
Would the performance be solid at 720p res??
Yeah for sure, but you could buy something waaaay cheaper for solid 720p gaming
Why recommend a 2nd hand 1050ti for $80 when a rx580 is the same price new with warranty.
Good call, depends where you live and what prices are like though
i don't get it, my gtx 1050 2gb video card runs all those games at low settings, but very playable. Even on my A8 with 16gb of ram.
My 1650 looks the exact same I thought you was going to diss my gpu
I think even the iGPU in the ROG Ally beats this card
Oh for sure
Yeah, this thing often slower than 1050 ti
And people were complaining about the RX 6400... Yeesh. :)
Makes that look like a 4090 lol
G'day Random,
🤔128Bit or less I wouldn't call a Memory Bus...
it's more of a Memory Reliant Robin
😂
64 bit straw
I can't believe that the 1630 is really a thing. The power consumption is almost the same as the 1650 at 75W and yet it's just a 1050-Ti with slightly worse performance. Couldn't they just continue in the 1650 or 1660 version? The partnered manufacturers are also getting out of hand since 2020. Powercolor, PNY, Gainward, Inno3D (That one with those ancient GPUs back from the 90s), WHO ARE THEY? They literally have the crappiest designs. Each partnered manufacturer has different clock and memory speeds. There's a small 1650 with no external power and with an aluminum heatsink, meanwhile somewhere in the universe, there's a 1650 with 6 or 8-pin power connector and a giant ass heatsink with 2 heatpipes holding the temps under 50°C all time. I think there must be some rules so we could prevent the waste. I understand that all manufacturers make a potential cut out of each GPU bought, but It's pretty unfair to make a GPU with the same die, but with a different power.
If someone buying one for old systems power connector or not is not a big deal. You'll need adapters, yes. But every PSU in these systems can support this GPU anyway, power consumption is low and only reason why they've put connector on them was that some OEM boards can't provide standard 75W through PCI reliably ("screw standards, just put cheap crap on marke and nobody will ever notice" mentality of these companies).
But please, don't buy this junk anyway :)
My Radeon Pulse RX580 8GB destroys that thing and it's like 6 years old
