GTX 1630 Following its June 2022 release, the GTX 1630 received negative reviews. A two-star review by Jarred Walton in ''
Tom's Hardware'' criticised its price, especially considering that it was released 3 years after most of the 16 series, while only performing better than the GTX 1050. Walton wrote that "the only real contender for the GTX 1630 is AMD's recently launched Radeon RX 6400, but this new Nvidia card actually makes the lackluster 6400 look good". He concluded that "no one should give the GTX 1630 the time of day" and instead recommended the GTX 1650 and 1650 Super for their dramatically improved specs and performance for a similar price.
TechSpot characterized the GTX 1630's specs as a "cutdown version of the GTX 1650" from April 2019 which is "3-year-old silicon that to put it mildly was pretty pathetic back then". Jacob Roach of
Digital Trends noted that the GTX 1630 released in 2022 was outperformed by
AMD's
Radeon RX 470 from 2016.
GTX 1650 ''
Tom's Hardware'' criticized the GTX 1650, noting that the 8GB variant of the
RX 570 is "faster, less expensive and better able to handle games with big memory requirements."
Forbes described the GTX 1650 as "a tempting choice for a super-small and power-efficient gaming PC". However, "when it comes to value and bang for your buck, AMD's RX 570 is the clear choice overall." However, they criticized the small amount of
VRAM (4GB) and noted that users who have a PC which does not have PCIe power cables available have to "stick with the vanilla 1650" because the Super variant has a higher power consumption (100W vs. 75W). They praised the GTX 1650 Super's price while criticizing its small amount of VRAM, claiming "The 4 GB memory these days is too small even in this [price] class." == Support ==
