The Card

Palit is following the visual theme of their other GeForce GTX 16 Series cards by using a mix of matte and glossy black plastic for their cooler. The design is highly compact, which could make it a good choice for an SFF computer or media PC. A backplate is not included.


Dimensions of the card are 17.0 cm x 12.0 cm.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include one DisplayPort 1.4a, one HDMI 2.0b, and one dual-link DVI port. 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

Palit's heatsink is very simple; basically, it's just a slab of metal with fins—there are no heatpipes or a copper base. The fan is 100 mm in diameter.

What's surprising is that there is no cooling for the VRM circuitry or memory chips. Overclocking works very well though, especially on memory, so there doesn't seem to be much reason for concern.
