I assure you, they got what they wanted and are still turning a profit. Those msrps were set sky high from the beginning anyway. Be ready for the same shitshow when 4000 series launch.
It was about stupid consumers it was GPU crypto miners buying pallets of cards meant to go to gamers I saw people buying 72 1660 supers for $72k usd that was beginning of 2021 I also saw some even lower end cards going for $1k each in lots of 12-100
Just buy AMD cards. I never buy Nvidia because they're always more expensive than the AMD offering at the same level of performance. When I got my RX 570 8GB in 2020, the 1650 Super 4GB was nearly 2x the price and with a BIOS mod my 570 is faster and more future proof with 8GB VRAM. Nvidia has never made sense to me from a price/performance standpoint.
@@AntiFurry927 Not when overclocked to 1350/2050 with tweaked memory timings. My card equals a 1380mhz RX 580 in many benchmarks. It is faster than both the 1060 and 1650S in most games. Those Nvidia cards will also run out of VRAM in games like Resident Evil Village, where I'm sometimes seeing 7.7GB of VRAM usage.
Overpriced and needs a 6 pin when a 1050ti and a 1650 does not. Too weak and cost inefficient for modern builds. Outclassed for upgrading old OEMs. This is a pretty bad card anyway you look at it.
lol how is the 6400/6500 XT bad?? my fking shitty local shops list GTX 1050 Ti for 250-300 euro and at that price point you can actually buy: 6400: 229-249 euro 6500 XT: 309 euro GTX 1050 Ti: 259-309 euro GTX 1650: 289-389 euro so as you can see the pricing is fuuucked up!! what's even worse is that I bought my GTX 1050 Ti pre-covid for 169 euro! so you see how the current market sucks.
Looking back i think your two 1630 videos were the most useful and informative ones to me. Also you didn't bash the card, just letting it shine in all its arkward glory did the job perfectly for me. Thanks to your videos my weapon of choice would still be the old value king RX 570 if i had to pick a card today, and this tells a lot to me. You seem to be immune against hypes and i totally dig that. Chapeau.
I have a suggestion for a video: could you please try the craziest combo of cpu and gpu, AMD A10-7890K (the best FM2 + cpu) in crossfire with the R7 250 and see what the performance is in 2022 :)
For me the selling point of my 1650 was that it sits between a 1060 and a 1050, for 160-200$ retail when it first came out it was a good deal. The 1630 is a good steal, for nvidia.
I wonder if you might still be pushing the VRAM too far - with GDDR6 you lose performance by pushing clocks too far due to ECC. I've seen this with my 2080ti where I can get the card running without visible artifacts around 2075mhz real speed (8300mhz) up from 1750 (7000) but performance degrades after 2000 (8000) so it's pointless. Still , it's funny to be talking about this with a 1630 - no amount of OC can save this turd , but it's such good fun to play around!
The same with GDDR5 btw. if you go too high error checks come in, decreasing performance. And I totally agree with the fun in overclocking low-end parts. The only reason I'm still tweaking on my Radeon 9200 and GeForce 7300 gt is because they are good overclockers and there is some feeling of archivement in getting a good result with ancient hardware. I think my favorite is still my xeon x5460 (basically a core 2 quad) that can get to around 70% the score of my i5 in cinebench. (445 in R15, 980 in R20, about half the result of a Ryzen 2700X)
@@HappyBeezerStudios I wish limits on graphics cards were more akin to that of CPU's, where you have basically full voltage control as well as control over all sorts of power and boost behavior. It makes some sense, as these cards ship with integrated coolers meaning there's only so much you could get out of them anyway without going pretty heavy DIY. But as an enthusiast, overclocking CPU's is so much more fun and accessible than doing the same with a graphics card, despite the fact that you see far more increase in gaming performance usually on the GPU end. Cool results on the xeon!
The OC makes the gpu go from a $70 gpu to a $80 gpu, so nvidia still needs to cut the price in half to make it even worth mentioning. Better chance of Nvidia abandoning the sub $300 altogether than actually trying to be competitive though.
This reminds me of back in 2012 when I ordered a 7750 for a media box and got sent two of them by accident. I was able to overclock the ball hair off of both of them in crossfire and actually game with them. There were frame spacing problems as always have been with crossfire, but in general it was hilarious how much better they could get with clock changes.
i'm in love with your videos keep it up i was wondering if you can do a video about gtx 1650 AMP from zotac cause it's a great card and it's kinda rare tbh since there is only a few of them
I second that, although considering how close to 1050ti this card is, the result is pretty easy to predict... 50% to 80% performance boost from 1630. :)
The 1630 might be awful but it still almost doubles the performance of the 4GB rx 550 so it would probably be a wash, I wonder how it’d hold up against the 3 GB GDDR6 rx 5300 that was quietly released in oem systems earlier this year. I feel like even that card would still destroy the 1630
These lower end cards always seem like a nobrainer not to OC. Some older cards you can just crank core and mem to max and it works! Free performance is always nice, thats why I've overclocked my CPU, GPU and RAM :D
Back in the day I could get a 60% core and 20% memory oc out of my 7300 GT, getting it close to 7600 GS performance. That is like buying a 1050 Ti nowadays and clocking it to 1660 super level performance. And if you don't go crazy and overdo it you'll buy a new card for performance reasons long before wear kills it. I mean I have cards and CPUs here that are running oc'ed for the last 15 years and are still perfectly stable.

I just looked for different bioses, and there is exactly one listed on techpowerup so far. Guess we have to wait. With cards like this I miss the time when we could simply modify the bios ourselves. my R7 250X still has a 12% and my 660 Ti a 22% oc on it, that will be applied in any system they are put in.

Has anyone even heard of an OEM with a 1630? I was honestly expecting a successor to the 1030, a half-height card without any supplemental pins, but at least has an 8-lane bandwidth so that it’s optiplex-friendly
The fact that it has a 6 pin power requirement means it's in no way a 1030 replacement, and the fact that it performs worse than a 1050Ti (even with an overclock) means it's no good for gaming either.
@@TheSpotify95 is it better performance wise than the GDDR5 1030 though? Looking at upgrading my system as the 1030 doesn’t feel like it handles much at 4K at times.
I just had a 1650S in my machine, had it for a week to test. Monster of a card for the power usage and price...just lacks vram though, so it was JUST enough in newer titles. I couldn't imagine a 1630...you would be better off with a used 10 series. I got a used clean one owner Strix 1060 6gb for $80 locally. Older but super quiet and enough Vram to last a bit longer.
My thought on this card is that you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig - overclocking with minimal effect being the lipstick. Nice video with honest opinions - thanks
Maybe try a different/beefier vbios that allows you to raise the power limit, could render better results since it has supplemental power and *most* 1050/tis don't and hence might be able to outperform them:D
I got scammed by a GTX 1050ti which is actually a gts 450 with 750 mhz on core clock end 1500 on the memory clock but i managed to boost to like 902 mhz and 1900 mhz and it's not that bad actualy but the real problems are the drivers
i know this about the card and not the games, but Spider-Man's PC port is probably the best PC port in years--its got the most recent DLSS and FSR options, and runs very well and consistently
Hey rginhd, been playing a lot of AC:Black Flag, I'm wondering how the original minimum and recommended specs for that game hold up in 2022. Currently playing on i3 10100f and 5600xt
A low profile/ itx version with no 6 pin would have been a true 1030 successor and a no-brainer as nvidia knows full well there is a market for such cards. Shame they're probably just shifting off the lowest quality silicon the have
Hmmm don't think I've seen head to head comparisons between the 1630 and A380. I'd be interested to know which one actually takes the crown for weakest GPU to launch in 2022.
There has been many a time were Nvidia has royally screwed the pooch take the FX5000 series, and the GTX200 series. It feels like every 10 years (or so) they have to go into "stupid mode" and this is self evident with the 1630, and betting the farm over the whole crypto scam.
@@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim I mean any GPU under a 1650 isn't going to properly run games. So if you actually want to play games, that's the minimum. If you want good $100 GPU, you have to go 2nd hand market, because all gpus in low end is shit.
No one gave a dislike, so I did. You asked for it. But the dislike is for the crappier card and capitalism NVIDIA practices. I always love your videos. Cheers, mate.
Nvidia really fumbled the bag with this card. Releasing a new gtx card in 2022 doesn’t make any sense. Imagine they took the 1650 line and 1660 line and added ray tracing cores, and released an rtx 1670 alongside these. They’d basically be budget friendly rtx cards, since nvidia does so well with ray tracing
For me graphic cards here in the UK is not about how much grunt it has got, but now How Much ( TDP ) it gonna cost, May i suggest a video on best GPU's TDP V's performance Per how much it cost's to run, Everyone is feeling the pinch atm, would be great if you could make a video on the best GPU's to run at minimal energy costs, Thank you
I just built a new system with second hand parts A320 board Ryzen 1300x ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 TI 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (PH-GTX1050TI-4G) with 8GB ddr4 2400mhz for just under 150 quid i'm running this now ( 215 watts) instead of my Monster NRG eating machine i built begining of this year costing over a thousand quids , run's the games i play ok lower setting but saves a packet.
To add i feel the lower wattage GPU's are gonna rocket in price ;) Well at some point ya gotta dich yer gas guzzling motor when inflation makes yer rafters bulge outwards
Okay, that's why my games looks flickerry and non-consistent. It's because of overclocked video card (I didn't overclock it but the person who I buy it from... Maybe).
Honestly, after all these years, I don't see the use of overclocking a GPU. Literally reducing its life span for like an extra 3 to 5 fps? Just better to tinker with settings or IF POSIBBLE, a little GPU upgrade.
The 1630 falls right into the "WHYYYY?" territory. why does this card need to exist, considering the 1030 and even the 730 are still sold new and to a perfectly fine job as low power display adapter. But hey, you got a nice 10-15% increase out of it. I'd say that is where it starts becoming worthwhile.
Because the silicon in that card is so awful in terms of the bin that it came from that it needs 100W+ to get the job done that a 1650 can do when set to use less than 50W. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a fucking piece of binning waste that pretends to be an actual eWaste product. It's so down in the barrel that it isn't actually an eWaste product but something worse altogether.
Despite what many will say, overclocking any card made in the last 5 years or so is basically pointless for gaming in my opinion. You MIGHT get upwards of 5fps more if you're very lucky, but it's going to shorten the life of the hardware and be noisier. Just turn one setting down and you'll get a bigger boost without shortening the life of your hardware. Fun for benchmarking, useless for gaming.
I have a i5-12400f with stock cooler and it hits 75° c when playing heavy games at ultra settings (rx 6600 hits 56°c). I can't afford a cpu cooler right now, is it ok for the processor? For a week now it's been very hot where I live (~32° c).
About 10-15% increase in performance. That is around the area where it becomes noticable. Obviously for modern-ish games it's still garbage, but the difference is there.
This card would be decent if priced correctly, in my region with about 30% more money you get gpu that twice faster you get 1660 even super variant which will blow this trash out of water
Pretty awful card, according to user benchmark it’s outclassed by the 1050 Ti which at this point if it’s not for OEMs then I’m also confused as to whom this card is for. Yes, it can play games but so can much cheaper options better used. At MSRP this card probably costs double a used 1650 super. The only thing I can see making it even considerable is if they released an ITX 1 slot low profile version and dropped the price to $70 then it would actually make sense. A minor thing, this card must have horrible efficiency if you need a 6 pin connector to get worse than gtx 1050 performance. Somehow the rx 6500 looks amazing in comparison 😂
@@HappyBeezerStudios what are you on? Nothing about this card is a replacement to the 1030 other than maybe the name? No low profile, requires 6 pin. Nothing like the 1030.
@@yeetus59 it’s not even that much of an upgrade from the low profile 1030. Probably the best upgrade for a low profile system at the moment is the rx 6400. XFX even makes a single slot version (retailing at $150 where I live) so it’ll fit any system that has a 1030
@@HairyScrambler the RX 6400 is the only low profile card in existence that is worth buying right now. The 1050 ti and 1650 low profile versions are somehow more expensive, while also being slower?
So I take it the 1630 doesn't have error correcting memory like every other Nvidia card? Otherwise the way you overclocked the memory (not checking performance loss) was extremely stupid.
I knew exactly when I saw the title of this video, that it was about the 1630. Now, can we actually get it to be better than a 1050Ti? edit: after watching the video, and seeing the figures, I still don't think this card averages out better than the 1050Ti anyway, so you're still better off getting the 1050Ti, so you don't need to overclock it!

I couldn't imagine a 1630...you would be better off with a used 10 series. I got a used clean one owner Strix 1060 6gb for $80 locally. Older but super quiet and enough Vram to last a bit longer.
It would be great if you could add GPU voltage and power consumption to RTSS especially for those overclocking videos. Would be interesting to see. :)
boy that card in flames
My thought on this card is that you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig - overclocking with minimal effect being the lipstick. Nice video with honest opinions - thanks
Maybe try a different/beefier vbios that allows you to raise the power limit, could render better results since it has supplemental power and *most* 1050/tis don't and hence might be able to outperform them:D
Best British tech-tuber by a country mile.
I love your vid can you include rust on next benchmrk
cool vid! so I guess I should stick to my 1050Ti then?
Yeah squeeze all you can out of it
I got scammed by a GTX 1050ti which is actually a gts 450 with 750 mhz on core clock end 1500 on the memory clock but i managed to boost to like 902 mhz and 1900 mhz and it's not that bad actualy but the real problems are the drivers
Yeah I’ve seen those before ( and tested one) the drivers were problematic for me too
@@RandomGaminginHD Can you give the link i can't seem to find it please?
Why would someone scam someone out of a 1050ti. Not saying it's a bad card but like a 1080/1080ti would be better material.
@@flintfrommother3gaming it's way easier to convince someone a garbage looking tiny heatsink belongs to a 1050 Ti than a stronger card
@@creaturedanaaaaa Mine doesn't look bad whatsoever, it has two fans with a pretty good design for its fake status
i know this about the card and not the games, but Spider-Man's PC port is probably the best PC port in years--its got the most recent DLSS and FSR options, and runs very well and consistently
Hey rginhd, been playing a lot of AC:Black Flag, I'm wondering how the original minimum and recommended specs for that game hold up in 2022. Currently playing on i3 10100f and 5600xt
A low profile/ itx version with no 6 pin would have been a true 1030 successor and a no-brainer as nvidia knows full well there is a market for such cards. Shame they're probably just shifting off the lowest quality silicon the have
Hopefully we’ll see something like that soon
Hmmm don't think I've seen head to head comparisons between the 1630 and A380. I'd be interested to know which one actually takes the crown for weakest GPU to launch in 2022.
It would be close!
it made the Arc a solid choice, albeit with drivers need to be refined
There has been many a time were Nvidia has royally screwed the pooch take the FX5000 series, and the GTX200 series. It feels like every 10 years (or so) they have to go into "stupid mode" and this is self evident with the 1630, and betting the farm over the whole crypto scam.
I guess that the 64-bit memory bus is the worst bottleneck on the GTX 1630.
Nvidia!!! 😠
what gpu do you recommend for me to get the best dollar to fps ratio ! something preferably under 100 or 100 dollars
none. even at its lowest price 1650 was $150 (equivalent currency). Buy 2nd hand with warranty, or save up for a 1660 super.
@@swordofkhaine8464 so i take it that a 1650 is a good gpu to tell people for a good budget, thanks
@@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim I mean any GPU under a 1650 isn't going to properly run games.
So if you actually want to play games, that's the minimum.
If you want good $100 GPU, you have to go 2nd hand market, because all gpus in low end is shit.
Quick question are you ever going to do a video the steam deck?
Its just need a driver update and unlocking the voltage and it will be perfect
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 That's like saying you can sell a dead horse, Yeah maybe dead but still a horse. Stick it on a poll and can still ride it. same experience 🤣😂😂
The only context in which I see this making sense is if your other option is a GTX 1050 which are somehow still sold new.
Did you test games with turned on vsync?
Wonder if a shunt mod could bring its power limit up a bit, just for funzies.
Might be worth looking into.
No one gave a dislike, so I did. You asked for it. But the dislike is for the crappier card and capitalism NVIDIA practices. I always love your videos. Cheers, mate.
Nvidia really fumbled the bag with this card. Releasing a new gtx card in 2022 doesn’t make any sense. Imagine they took the 1650 line and 1660 line and added ray tracing cores, and released an rtx 1670 alongside these. They’d basically be budget friendly rtx cards, since nvidia does so well with ray tracing
What brand of memory chips did your 1630 have? Samsung gddr6 tends to oc very nicely
The FX5200 of the modern age.
For me graphic cards here in the UK is not about how much grunt it has got, but now How Much ( TDP ) it gonna cost, May i suggest a video on best GPU's TDP V's performance Per how much it cost's to run, Everyone is feeling the pinch atm, would be great if you could make a video on the best GPU's to run at minimal energy costs, Thank you
I just built a new system with second hand parts A320 board Ryzen 1300x ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 TI 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (PH-GTX1050TI-4G) with 8GB ddr4 2400mhz for just under 150 quid i'm running this now ( 215 watts) instead of my Monster NRG eating machine i built begining of this year costing over a thousand quids , run's the games i play ok lower setting but saves a packet.
To add i feel the lower wattage GPU's are gonna rocket in price ;) Well at some point ya gotta dich yer gas guzzling motor when inflation makes yer rafters bulge outwards
I've found a great usecase for this card, actually.
Loaded into a dumptruck and dumped onto the people in NVidia who signed off on it.
Okay, that's why my games looks flickerry and non-consistent. It's because of overclocked video card (I didn't overclock it but the person who I buy it from... Maybe).
Why don't you use the cyberpunk benchmark?
The question is would you buy a card like this for Cyberpunk 2077 or just to play games like CSGO.
Yeah definitely best suited to lighter games
I just watched a video on the GTX 960, and that can run cyberpunk with 30 fps in 1080p
@@HappyBeezerStudios JayzTwoCents measures playable as 50+ FPS i tend to agree for comfort.
No, because bad price you can pay less to get same performance on cheaper card
Honestly, after all these years, I don't see the use of overclocking a GPU. Literally reducing its life span for like an extra 3 to 5 fps? Just better to tinker with settings or IF POSIBBLE, a little GPU upgrade.
The 1630 falls right into the "WHYYYY?" territory. why does this card need to exist, considering the 1030 and even the 730 are still sold new and to a perfectly fine job as low power display adapter.
But hey, you got a nice 10-15% increase out of it. I'd say that is where it starts becoming worthwhile.
People thought the rx 6400 was bad but atleast it dosent require a 6 pin lol. And it still serves a purpose for low profile instead of the 1630
Did I see a power connector? Why would it need a power connector!!!!
Because the silicon in that card is so awful in terms of the bin that it came from that it needs 100W+ to get the job done that a 1650 can do when set to use less than 50W.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a fucking piece of binning waste that pretends to be an actual eWaste product. It's so down in the barrel that it isn't actually an eWaste product but something worse altogether.
Please make a video about the difference in fps between Nvidia stripped and normal drivers
Despite what many will say, overclocking any card made in the last 5 years or so is basically pointless for gaming in my opinion. You MIGHT get upwards of 5fps more if you're very lucky, but it's going to shorten the life of the hardware and be noisier. Just turn one setting down and you'll get a bigger boost without shortening the life of your hardware. Fun for benchmarking, useless for gaming.
I didn't even know this card existed
Should have tried out FSR on Spiderman.
Seeing the title i knew it was ganna be gtx 1630🤣🤣
Why isn't this card low profile? Being low profile would at least make some sense to why it was made.
and why does it have a 6 pin?? pcie draw only should have been its priority, this way it just doesnt make sense
@@mr.dingleberry4882 agreed,that's just stupid
I have a i5-12400f with stock cooler and it hits 75° c when playing heavy games at ultra settings (rx 6600 hits 56°c). I can't afford a cpu cooler right now, is it ok for the processor? For a week now it's been very hot where I live (~32° c).
Your CPU is in no danger at 75c.
yeah youre safe up to 100c
Alright guys, thanks.
@@andreasnussbaum5409 85 maximum is safe, not 100
Cpu is still safe unless you hit above 90°c
I hate how they pack older cards in new boxes and call it a new product.
It's nice that you can OC the card, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.
About 10-15% increase in performance. That is around the area where it becomes noticable.
Obviously for modern-ish games it's still garbage, but the difference is there.
What an embarrassing chunk of landfill.
Oh whoopdee-do, an extra 3 FPS in Cyberpunk. What a difference! RdR2 seems to have the best difference.
At those frame rates that is still a difference of 8%
RDR2 gets about 15% more
Polishing a turd Nvidia edition 2022!
I feel bad for people who don't know anything about GPU or PC's and they would buy as their first GPU given by the shopkeeper.
could be worse, there are still tons of GT 710 out there.
Damn even after basically wasting time on this gpu overclocking it still did a horrible job at trying to get frames but at least you tried
Even a little boost is better than nothing 😁
Clearly the problem here is that the card is running at a blazing 298K. You have to get those temps down!
you mean about 25°C higher? From which is ideal?
I hate NVidia viscerally for gaming the market and conning consumers into purchasing these.
Not sure myself, the RX 6400 is pants as well, they should both be below below £100 in my opinion.
the thing is the rx 6400 is better then this 1630, id say it should be about 100-110£/$ for the rx 6400 and about 75-60£/$ for the gtx 1630

Make its MSRP at 99$, suddenly it becomes good
iam watching this video because of you bro , I dont give a damn about that shitty card .
Pretty awful card, according to user benchmark it’s outclassed by the 1050 Ti which at this point if it’s not for OEMs then I’m also confused as to whom this card is for. Yes, it can play games but so can much cheaper options better used. At MSRP this card probably costs double a used 1650 super. The only thing I can see making it even considerable is if they released an ITX 1 slot low profile version and dropped the price to $70 then it would actually make sense. A minor thing, this card must have horrible efficiency if you need a 6 pin connector to get worse than gtx 1050 performance. Somehow the rx 6500 looks amazing in comparison 😂
Replacement for the 1030.
@@HappyBeezerStudios what are you on? Nothing about this card is a replacement to the 1030 other than maybe the name? No low profile, requires 6 pin. Nothing like the 1030.
@@yeetus59 it’s not even that much of an upgrade from the low profile 1030. Probably the best upgrade for a low profile system at the moment is the rx 6400. XFX even makes a single slot version (retailing at $150 where I live) so it’ll fit any system that has a 1030

Great for a Gtx 1630.😁
The1630 is a trud no matter how hard you try to polish it!
You should test the rx 6600 considering that its cheaper than a rtx 3050 atleast where i live....
So I take it the 1630 doesn't have error correcting memory like every other Nvidia card? Otherwise the way you overclocked the memory (not checking performance loss) was extremely stupid.
Nothing will help this card except a price drop.
Even a price drop can't help this now. The damage has been done
For the price of a GTX 1630, you could just get a 1080/1080Ti, and be VERY happy with it.
I knew exactly when I saw the title of this video, that it was about the 1630. Now, can we actually get it to be better than a 1050Ti?
edit: after watching the video, and seeing the figures, I still don't think this card averages out better than the 1050Ti anyway, so you're still better off getting the 1050Ti, so you don't need to overclock it!
