The Card

Gigabyte's GTX 1650 Super WindForce OC is dominated by black with some gray highlights. A plastic backplate is included, too.


Dimensions of the card are 23 cm x 12 cm.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4a, HDMI 2.0b, and dual-link DVI-D. This DVI connector lacks analog pins; should you still have an analog VGA monitor, you'll have to buy an active DVI-to-VGA adapter.

NVIDIA has updated their display engine with the Turing microarchitecture, which now supports DisplayPort 1.4a with support for VESA's nearly lossless Display Stream Compression (DSC). Combined, this enables support for 8K@30Hz with a single cable or 8K@60Hz when DSC is turned on. For context, DisplayPort 1.4a is the latest version of the standard that was published in April, 2018.

At CES 2019, NVIDIA announced that all their graphics cards will now support VESA Adaptive Sync (aka FreeSync). While only a small number of FreeSync monitors have been fully qualified with G-SYNC, users can enable the feature in NVIDIA's control panel regardless of whether the monitor is certified or not.


The board uses one 6-pin power connector. This input configuration is specified for up to 150 watts of power draw.


GeForce GTX 1650 Super does not support SLI.

Disassembly

Gigabyte's thermal solution uses an aluminium fin-stack heatsink, which is paired with a single double-length heatpipe that runs across the whole length of the heatsink. Thermal pads pull heat from the memory chips and VRM circuitry.


The plastic backplate protects the card against damage during installation and handling.
