Colorful Unveils Trio of GeForce GTX 1650 GDDR6 Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

Colorful rolled out a trio of new GeForce GTX 1650 GDDR6 graphics cards. These include products from the company's BattleAx and iGame product lines. All three appear to be based on a common board design with a 3+1 phase VRM, and a monoblock aluminium heatsink that's ventilated by a dual fan setup. The base model, without any special branding, sticks to NVIDIA-reference clock speeds of 1590 MHz GPU Boost and 12 Gbps memory. Interestingly, it features a 6-pin PCIe power input (isn't normally needed if the GTX 1650 GDDR6 is running at reference speeds).

Next up, is the Colorful GTX 1650 GDDR6 BattleAx, with a red+black color scheme, an otherwise identical design to the base model, but a healthy factory-overclock of 1710 MHz GPU Boost (vs. 1590 MHz reference). Leading the pack is the iGame GTX 1650 D6 Ultra OC. This product, too, features a mostly identical design to the other two, but with a more premium-looking cooler shroud, and a metal back-plate being included. The card features dual-BIOS, with a "Turbo" BIOS that has increased power limits to facilitate a 1725 MHz GPU Boost factory OC. All three cards run the memory at 12 Gbps (GDDR6-effective), take in one 6-pin PCIe power input, and offer a display output layout with one each of dual-link DVI-D, HDMI 2.0b, and DisplayPort 1.4a. The company didn't reveal pricing.

The new mobile GeForce lineup seems coming with 11-12gbps memory in order to get more core clock under the strict power limit.

But I don't see any sense the new 1650 desktop cards have to equip 6 pin connectors,if they use the low speed power-saving 12gbps memory.

is this a knock off msi design? sort of looks that way

Why do board partners keep pushing these cards out with a 6-pin which cost about the same as a 1650 Super??

Do they work without 6 pin power then are able to get huge overclocks when you upgrade your PSU?

Am I missing something here??

That's the first thing I thought of ! That BattleAxe looks awfully like the MSI ones.
