The Card

Zotac's cooler theme is black with highlights in various shades of gray. 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 16.0 cm x 11.5 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. Note the placement of the power connector, which faces backwards, away from the card, and not upward. This can be useful in some smaller cases that are limited in the height they offer for the graphics card, often leaving no space to connect the power.


GeForce GTX 1650 Super does not support SLI.

Disassembly

Zotac's heatsink is very simple, basically just a slab of metal with fins—there are no heatpipes or a copper base. The fans are 70 mm in diameter.


For VRM cooling, a small basic heatsink has been installed over the voltage-regulation circuitry, which is cooled by the airflow of the fans right above.
