GIGABYTE Launches GeForce GTX 1630 Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today announced the latest GeForce GTX 1630 graphics cards powered by NVIDIA Turing architecture. GIGABYTE launches the GeForce GTX 1630 OC 4G and GeForce GTX 1630 OC Low Profile 4G graphics cards. Turing architecture graphics cards have the ability to execute both integer and floating-point operations simultaneously making them much faster than the previous Pascal architecture. These graphics cards feature GIGABYTE-certified overclocked GPUs, coupled with GIGABYTE's cooling technology, allowing all gamers to enjoy a flawless gaming experience.

The GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1630 OC 4G graphics card offers the GIGABYTE custom-designed cooling system, featuring unique blade fan design, delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures. The compact graphics card is less than 170 mm in length and can be easily installed in any small chassis. The GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1630 OC Low Profile 4G graphics card features the advanced GIGABYTE cooling system. It is a half-height graphics card with a low profile bracket, allowing gamers to easily install it into a variety of chassis. This graphics card has four video outputs, which can meet the needs of multi-screen.



The GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1630 graphics cards use a multi-phase power supply, providing over-temperature protection and load balancing for each MOSFET and allowing the MOSFET to operate at a lower temperature. The ULTRA DURABLE certified chokes and capacitors provide excellent performance and longer system life. With the support of NVIDIA ANSEL, it provides gamers with a better gaming experience.

Hooray, the first half-height one - which is just about the only niche this pointlessly underwhelming GPU could possibly hope to fill.

Still dual slot though

Yeah, but you can usually have only one of those two things unless we're talking sub-25W card.

The laws of physics demand surface area for heat transfer. If you take away height, you need to make the fins longer and spill into the second slot.

The RX 6400 I have is low-profile and single-slot.

Heh, I forgot that you can have a noisy HTPC card, and potentially you're not concerned with fan noise at all and just trying to game on a tiny SFF box with limited expansion card space

From the two reviews I've looked at of SS LP RX 6400 cards, they've managed to achieve it by detuning the card to just 40W (a 25% TDP drop with corresponding loss of boost clocks) - and both the Powercolor and Yeston models come with a rather obnoxious little 4000RPM fan. I don't know what variant you have, but is it quiet under load?

I have the Sapphire Pulse SS LP RX6400 and it's not loud under max load but I haven't used it in a very quiet environment yet. It's notably quieter than other SS LP cards I've tested however, and I can easily hear those in my home office environment. When not gaming it has the fan stop option so it's perfectly quiet during those times and the fan doesn't come on while watching YT videos though I'm not doing 4K on it.

The card seems to draw a max of 43W when gaming and that's with boost clocks of 2305 MHz at 0.912v, which seems in-line with the rated 2321 MHz Boost clock spec.
