Fun fact: Here in Taiwan, their respective prices are GTX 1050: No longer available new GTX 1050 Ti: NT$4490 (£125.86) GTX 1630: NT$4990 (£139.87) GTX 1650: NT$4790 (£134.27) !!! That's right: With less than 9 quids you can upgrade to a much more capable GTX 1650 that can beat 1050 Ti or the more expensive 1630 in every game. Frankly I see no reason to buy 1630 at all.
Traditionally the XX30 cards are for drop in graphics since they traditionally don't need a power connector. This let you get a cheap used office desktop, throw in the graphics card and you get a cheap gaming pc. But no one has made a 1630 that only powers off PCIE yet......
Ah, the mighty 1050 Ti. This makes me feel good about continuing to use one in my setup. Wouldn't mind buying a 1630 if it came down a lot in price just to have one.
Bought a used 1050ti back in 2018 for $80 that was from a mining rig to be used in my daughter's computer. Only spent 3 months in the mine and had a fan removed but still worked great. For what I paid it i couldn't be happier with the results. Also have a GTX 970 I bought from EVGA's B-stock on black Friday later that year. Paid $50 for it and have it as a backup incase my 1080 ever died.
@@ErraticPT GTX 1050 Ti is not mighty? Bruh that Card launched in 2016 and could handle most of its time's games at 60fps, high settings. It was indeed mighty. It can handle Doom 2016 at ultra, 80fps at 768p on my pc.
@@TheWarmotorFor the record, the Xbox 360 launched in 2005 and ran most games made for it at 30fps in 720p. These cards could run those same games at 1080p 60fps for the most part. This is just slander.
Essentially a "1050 super" in performance. I'm curious how ridiculous the pricing will be for Nvidia's future releases if this new low-end gpu is going for 200 usd 💀
@@Thor-pq6ul Just wait for the RTX 40 series to drop. Hopefully it's gonna drop by the end of this year or 1st half of the next year. What's gonna happen is that when RTX 40 series drops, all the previous series cards are gonna experience a massive drop in price and hence they're gonna become more affordable.
@@JamesNalacar not necessarily. we all thought this was going to happen last time around but it turned out the new cards msrps (or at least the price they were selling for) was higher than the 2000 series. and so the price of 2000 series stagnated while 3000 was released. all it would take is a new crypto boom and 4000 cards are going to be 100 dollars more than the 3000 cards msrp and nothing will go down in price
@@orionfell or they could just not make 30 series cards anymore /20 series. its quite depressing how much control nvidia has over this and how bad amd is still doing with their drivers comparatively. hope amd will start putting up more of a fight because competition is the only thing that can consistently save us.
I would not pay $100 for a GTX 1650 new. The 1630 should have been called the 1610 for $90 and been a replacement for the GT 710. I think when they run out of damaged 1650 cores the 1630 will disappear the same way the Ryzen 3010 and 3300x did.
What we really needed Nvidia was a 1050Ti/1650 replacement around the £150 mark not a GT1030 replacement at £180 that performs worse than a £80 used 1050Ti great video as always but I’m lost with the 1630 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah this really should have been called the gt 1630 instead for sure or maybe gt 1600. Maybe allowing third party models too use a pci-e 6 pin & overclock the cards too at least beat the 1050 ti in every scenario could have made it a better purchase but nah, a used 1060 3 gb or 1050 ti is much better value for the money, or even a 1650 used is better.
I'd have rather got rid of the 6 pin power connector (so it only ran off the PCI power) and called it the GT 1610. Though having said that, we never saw a GT 1010...
@@TheSpotify95 Someone did end up getting a hold of a GT 1010 earlier this year off of Taobao. It posted a TimeSpy Extreme score of 153, which is on the level of a GTX 460.
Thing is, even the 1050ti is capable of being overclocked while even still using just PCIe power, like my Zotac 1050ti OC, whose base clock is almost the same as the rated boost clock of the base 1050ti and can boost to just above 1800MHz out of the box under the right conditions (I don't trust Heaven Valley listing it OC'ing to over 2000MHz though 😂😂😂). So unless the entire silicon batch is too binned poorly to OC, the 1630 shouldn't even need the +six pin cable to be OC'd...
Nvidia always seems to launch some of the entry level cards which DOA in terms of performance what they offers as compare to their old previous GPUs and AMD offerings
GT 1030 has no NVENC, and the 16 series NVENC is based on the newer Volta-based, much better than Pascal. Plus, it's stupid to buy a 10 series new (even if there's stock), and you have no warranty on a used 10 series.
@@AlfaPro1337 well I don't know how the warranty works but I guess warranty starts from the day user purchase it so I don't think warranty is the problem but I agree on nvenc thing it's terrible GPU I don't even know why nvidia created this e waste.
@@jaze7045 I think you missed the point, if you are on AMD system, and want to stream/en/decode stuff on the cheap and new, the GTX 1630 is the choice. AMD's VCN quality is atrocious, below Intel QuickSync. If you're on Intel, it's by default Auto to PEG, then again, everyone is not seeing the disadvantage of having the F-series, or the advantage of having an iGPU. The same shit said about the 1650, it's an e-waste, a waste of money, and suddenly during mining craze, the 1650 is suddenly a better choice than the used or even newly bought 1050/Ti, or the comparable RX 560 (in tier-to-tier comparison).
@@AlfaPro1337 oh I didn't missed this point I just think GTX 1630 should be priced lower in order make its way to user! I know iGPU is a big thing but my point was to those people who are looking this GPU for gaming not decide/encode stuff AMD lacks performance in this section but it seems to be gaining up.
@@AlfaPro1337 I honestly doubt people in this price range are looking for encoding performance - they're here for gaming performance. Sure, the NVENC support is better on the 1630; but try telling that to Joe Sixpack who has no interest in content creation.
I think putting the 1630 up against a 1050 4GB variant would be worth its own video. Especially since the 1050 4 gig was released at a lower price in 2016 compared to the 1630 in 2022
Comparatively speaking in actual numbers, the 1050 4GB is an anomaly and extremely rare in the world of 1050 cards. If you polled a thousand (every model of) 1050 owners out there, 1050 2GB, 1050 4GB, 1050Ti... i'd be surprised if 5 of them had a 1050 4GB. 99.9% of people who wanted something a little faster than a 1050 just got the 1050Ti. Wouldn't be any real value to the vast, vast majority of gamers to do a 1050 4GB review other than Gee Whiz factor and people saying "I didn't even know a 1050 4GB existed" comments.
1050ti is still a really good performing card at 1080p - my son was running one running games such as fortnite, rocket league, overwatch, fifa etc. on my old i5 4690k and all still run really well often 60+ fps depending on the settings/scenario
The 1050Ti is still a really good performing card at 1080p games.... (here's the catch)... from many years ago... it's not really a solid performer on newer games at 1080p unless you consider 30fps "solid". It's fine if you just play older or non-demanding games... I wouldn't call it a modern 1080p card though. Not a hater, one of my systems still has a 1050Ti in it and it used to be my "flagship card" some years ago... just saying its time is/has passed.
@@wabbajack8283 there's nothing wrong about the 1050Ti, though it is getting old... however, I really Really hate blanket statements out of the blue like "esport players are the VAST MAJORITY of gamers". Really? Based on what statistical data from what source... or is it anecdotal evidence of "well my friends and I all play esport games so obviously that means the vast majority of gamers everywhere do too". I just hate blanket statements without statistical data backing it up (hey, maybe it's true, I've just never heard that before). The 1050Ti used to be my main card years ago, I have a soft spot for it, but basically it's only good for older games or esport on lower settings. (I'm rocking a 3070Ti these days).
I have a 1050ti and the only problem is the lack of VRAM, its constantly sitting at 100% VRAM usage and the main GPU is only at 60-80% usage. I still get a good 60fps in most games, but would be nice if there was a mod to increase the VRAM as it is the limiting factor
@@saksafann9813 No its sitting about 10-20% with RAM using about 8gb of 16, also most games are on a Samsung 980pro so shouldn't be a Storage problem either
Bruh for me it's like another way around. 4 GB is usually enough for high or medium texture quality but as for all of the other setting I need to lower these to low to get consistant fps
The GTX 1050ti will probably be remembered as one of the all-time great graphics card values. It was very capable of playing games that came out between 2017 - 2019 while not being crazy expensive.
The GTX 1050 Ti and the GTX 1060 6Gb are still incredible value for budget gamers nowadays... and the whole GTX 1000 series (Pascal architecture) were awesome. Even the 1080 Ti is still a great option. It stands between the RTX 2070 and RTX 3060Ti in rasterization performance (depending of the game off course).
I was going to defend the 1630 as I thought it was possibly a 35w card, but it's not. with the prebuilt stupidity of 40-50w limits of some pcies i thought it had a market. so it's a £70 card at best for £180, with zero benefits
If this card came out costing $70-100 it would be great, but it costs as much as the 1050ti did 6 years ago and gives WORSE performance. How is nobody saying anything about this? This is legitimately criminal
As well as GTA 5 - also if you're going to test San Andreas, you might as well test the original release on lower end hardware (with higher settings) as that is what most people would have purchased - not the "definitive edition" which has higher system requirements.
I use a basic 1050 daily, honestly its perfectly acceptable as a daily user with light gaming... it will breathe new life into your old pc, civ 5... cs go... arma 2/ day z etc will run with no issues
Thought GT 1630 is great until I saw that 6-pin connector. I'm surprised why that card needs power connector. I would buy GTX 1060 6GB or RX 580 8GB if I need a PCIe power connector.
@@RandomGaminginHD yeah overall worse performance than a 1050ti, and also having a higher potential power draw. Than a 5 year old card... makes putting it in an office pc more difficult.
I was really excited for this card. Then it was released with an msrp of $150 and everyone I’ve seen for sale has been $200. Way too much for this card. My local computer store has gtx 1650s in stock for $209.
From other benchmarks I saw, it is better to get the rx 6400 on pcie 3.0. I believe it's 10-20% improvement depending on the game and settings but that is the general difference between the two
I have both the HH SS size 6400 and a slot power only 1050Ti and the 6400 is faster in everything I tested except modded Minecraft. However I've had the 1050Ti for over 4 years and it will continue it's valiant service in a Dell MT. The 6400 is in a Dell SFF.
Whenever the 1630 ends up below the 1050, that means there's probably a memory bandwidth bottleneck, as the core clock speed should more than make up for the 128/8/16 less cores/ROPs/TMUs. It would be interesting to see how the Quadro T600 compares, as it's basically a turing 1050 with 4GBs of GDDR6.
I have a feeling these gpus will have their RRP/MSRP dropped very soon due to the criticism being received …. It’s happened with the RX6500XT and RX6400 👍😅
Performance wise, I find the 1630 to be a decent card as it is supposed to be a 1030 replacement. Its not meant to replace the 1050, as that got replaced by 1650. It is a nice leap that you expect to get from a generational leap. However, the pricing (msrp) is so fucking ridiculous it kills the card. It completely makes it useless at that pricepoint. If this was priced the same way the 1030 msrp was, it wouldve been nice. Not to mention its released way too late.
Then it should have been called the "GT 1630", not the GTX 1630. If Nvidia weren't trying to price gouge the consumer and just made this a GT card, this would be a lot more forgivable.
@@trixniisama I gotta agree it was never a replacement for the 1030, Nvidia just had a lot of weaker 1650 gpus and a lot of greed up their sleeves, the 1630 name is a byproduct of that. 😔
It's not a replacement for the GT 1030 because it requires a 6 pin power connector. I don't think the GTX 1050 needed one, and nor did the GTX 1650. Tbh I really don't know what space this GPU was intended to fill...
@@RandomGaminginHD you should look into the used market idk how it is where you are but my friend just got a 3060ti for freaking 200 bucks lol. last month my other dude got a 2070 super for 200. i can see some cards just not worth to sell at all or worth buying. hell give it another month 2060 super gonna be 100 bucks easy
I love my 1050ti 4GB stormx never had any issues with it apart from slight overclocking it a bit too much and it made windows unstable but after restoring after my silly idea, its been excellent for me runs all my games with good temps and performance...I was offered a 1650 version but it was not the right price and to be honest... it seemed the best builds at the time for budget was with the 1050ti.. best decision I made, I dont live in UK and it seemed the best price too I got it around £100 at time and that was before all this flu thing started and people started going insane lol
@@PC_Pineapple I'd say it's lasted pretty well over the years for a budget card. My first card was a GTX 770 and that fell off the cliff quicker than the 1050ti has, by 2016 I was turning the resolution down to maintain frame rates with that one.
Dude I live right beside the sea and I have my window open so I was tripping thinking I could hear seagulls outside but it was actually from the video hahaha
Just bought a used 1050ti low profile for 120$ Canadian and I'm now wondering if it wasn't that great a price after all. Sadly I needed a LP version of the card and those seem to have a pretty big markup compared to the standard 1050tis.
No, the vram matters quite a lot. Its just nvidia's memory compression is really good so even if you exceed the vram capacity your performance won't immediately tank. It'll take a slight dive. If the 1050 had its full 4gb of vram, it'd have been as good as the gtx 1630, if not a tiny bit better. Oh and of course, the mobile 1050 does have 4gb of vram, performs similar to the desktop variant AND uses only 50w. So, it'd even beat the 1630 in efficiency.
It is insane still with the 1050TI selling upwards of 200 euro/dollars in august 2022 ( for some models even over 220 euros). I paid 170 euro's in 2016 or 2017 which I thought was high then! You can get a 1650 for less now and even a 1660 super is on sale now for 199,99! ( the sale is only on one site and I am not sharing : ) )
What graphics APIs were being used? I wonder if it's a bit like what we are seeing with the Intel Arc GPUs - where they do better with DX12 and Vulkan, while the older GPUs do better at DX11.
So long and short of it is that the 1630 is worse than a 1050Ti, and not far off the 1050 non-Ti performance. I really do wonder what the latter would be like if it was a 4GB card, and not a 2GB card.
That performance difference in cyberpunk nicely shows why nVidia drivers aren't open source. Imagine community prolonging the life of cars nVidia would rather see in dumps than in computers.
The 1050 Ti has some life left in it yet because of FSR, especially the FSR 2.0 mod that lets it work in place of DLSS. It's basically a 30 FPS card at this point though but personally I'm fine with a locked 30 FPS so long as it's stable and properly frametimed (RTSS helps there).
The way i see this card is that although it's capable of gaming, this is mainly targeted towards productivity, basically a low cost successor to the GT 1030, with modern architecture.
That same model of the 1050ti the expedition series I believe. Really nice card. Quiet and cool and been using one for half a decade. Does Asus make those series anymore?
The 1630 was designed and priced for the time when there was a GPU drought. When second hand 1050's were selling for much more than they do now. Now we seem to have a bit of a GPU glut and the 1630 doesn't make any sense. Maybe if it was the same price as a 1030 was.
@@LSK2K They don't now. 8 months ago a 1050 second hand was selling for over $200-$250. That's when this card made sense. (from a manufacturer point of view) Nvidia probably designed the card then but was short sighted and expected the mining gravy train to continue forever,
@@baroncalamityplus but they already knew the prices were down pre release. They saw the prices are down and still thought to release this card at 170$. Hopefully they lose money and not pull this crap again.
Some things to consider : 1. quantity of VRAM - either you have it or you don't . Some games require 4 GB VRAM even on 1080p low. If you have only 2 GB , then system RAM would be used which is much slower 2. speed of VRAM - difference between GDDR5 and GDDR6 is not that great, except in games that move around large textures like Cyberpunk 2077 . Thus 1630 actually wo in that game . 3. processing power - usually most important thing, 1050 Ti has clear advantage there and so advantage in most games . 1050 is not so far in this regard compared to 1630 . 4. Bandwidth - to notice the difference you would need to have more "rich" textures i.e. higher details . Perhaps testing 1050 Ti vs 1630 in 1080p high in Witcher 3 would show the difference between full and cut PCIe lanes.
If you could you should look at some old Quadro cards. I got a mobile workstation recently with an old Kepler Quadro and it's still surprisingly capable.
From what I have seen you could buy a 1650 GDDR6 for the going price of a 1630 or a brand new 1050ti. I think it will be a long time before the price of a 1630 comes to reflect it's performance.
Seeing a Gtx 1050 in a video and also seeing how it beats a newer gpu in a few situations kinda makes me pround since my first brand new pc had one and after 5 years of owning it like a secondary pc it still makes me proud seeing how competent it can be in quite a lot of games even in 1440p or 4k with some optimizing.
@@nashcomp Ran all indie games I was throwing at it at 4k max setting(doesn"t really count) and even Dirt 4 or Dirt Rally 2.0 at 4k with low setting ,also tried fortnite on it at 4k and it managed quite well ,beyond expectations ,I'd say taking into account it is the 2GB version it did quite well ,the only problem was that at 4k It was hitting the 75W power limit due to not having a 6 pin power connector like other versions.
A wise man once said "there's no such thing as a bad GPU only bad prices" the current price of the 1630 is so bad it calls the statement into question.
I think it would be interesting if they would make low end cards with Raytracing and more importantly DLSS. Instead of GT they could just name it RT (e.g. RT 3030).
They need to sell the 3050 ti (laptop) for desktops that would be almost exactly what we need for this. I don’t know if raytracing would do much on cards weaker then that tho, even my 2070 max q doesn’t handle ray tracing very well :(
@@yyeezyy630 I think that Ray Tracing even on those weaker cards makes them more future proof. It is bit like the Xbox Series S which also only supports Ray Tracing in a very basic form.
The 1630 vs 1050 choices for consumers is down to what they each (or in collabs) personally want especially since VMDq passthrough is a thing such as how shader-model is 6.4 vs 6.6 and cuda is 6.1 vs 7.5 and so for example that affects projects people might do which may also use OpenCL. Kinda like how people like to learn some tech things but also do a bit of gaming. Both, after all, are in the middle for GPU cards and not the top range in terms of speed so it is perhaps unsurprising that a person getting one is focussing their budget on other parts of the PC such as CPU. So for instance the CPU is often more for latency sensitive processing of OpenCL compared to the GPU, but the GPU still gets used for some things here and there. Leaning about OpenCL in general and being into making games mods can be exampled with how BeamNG uses OpenCL for physics. As soon as a gaming channel cracks open a level-editor in a game (e.g. FPS multiplayer) and starts modding and scripting for a heat-map, some other coder they work with will mention OpenCL and similar heatmap (e.g. Gaussian function) approachs to writing a game and designing a level for probabilities and predictions, like how in deathmatch where players fall, weapons drop and enemies are often nearby. Both the 1630 and 1050 have OpenCL3, see. The versions of cuda and shader model can also help in 3D modelling and art-packages or video-editing, all of which might contribute to making games. My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.
Hi Steve, I see ur using mostly low settings. Why is that? I mean u're mostly using CPU at those settings. Do the results differ at all on higher settings?
Presumably the 1630 exists for when the 1050 & 1050 Ti are no longer available, but it makes no sense for it to be more expensive than a 1650, unless of course it will still be around when the 16 cards are only still available via eBay. It makes me wonder if there will be an RTX/GTX 2650, 2660 range. Will we see a low profile RTX card (that isn't technically a workstation card)? I mean, the most puzzling question for a long time has been "why is the GT 1030 still on sale?".
You probably shouldn't make your videos 60 fps as it smoothens the gameplay footage, maybe if you made them 30fps or at least had a 30 fps option we would see what the gameplay truly looks like much better :)
I know it's cynical but I don't expect 1630's or 6400's or even 6500's to have any amounts ever being in stock. Neither AMD or nVidia actually want to sell these things. They just want to enforce new price points on future graphics cards across the board. If garbage that used to cost $80 now runs $250 then entry level at $300 makes more sense. The problem and I see this in a lot of youtube channels is, there is an assumption that we are all misers and we can afford to slap a credit card on the table and spend $600 to $1500 on a new graphics card every 3 years. We just don't want to. The reality is, most of can't. I 'wan't' to buy a 3080ti for$200. It isn't going to happen. AMD and nVidia can want me to pay $500 for a 3060 or a 6700. Can't always get what you want.
I replaced a 1050 2 gig with a GTX 1660 6 gig. The main reason was it's the lowest price Nvidia GPU with NVENC that does B frames. Some 1650's use the same NVENC as the 1660, some 1650's use the same NVENC (no B frame support) as the 1050 and others prior to the 1650 with B frame support. So I could have bought a 1650 to get what I wanted but telling which 1650 I'd be getting with a used card would be difficult or impossible.
Good news is: nobody has to buy a 1630. In the used market you very often get a 1050 Ti or 1650 (S) for a descend price (again). Saw many 1050 Ti for about 95 € these days on eBay here in Germany.
I wonder how the 1630 compares to the 1030?? Folks looking to upgrade from a 1030 may be interested in the 1630... can we still get a 1050 or 1050ti new these days? If not, then the 1630 might appeal to 1030 owners - but might not be worth it??
The gtx 1630 is not worth it in any way shape or form, its an overpriced piece of shit of a GPU, at this point get the 1050ti, or even better a 1650, you should'nt care about the 1630 being a "new" card, it all comes down to price to performance, the price does NOT match the performance given therefore completely useless and a waste of resources like silicon etc...
@@SlyStarling Well, no, it really comes down to size of the card and psu requirements. Many people don't have room or power in their rigs for more powerful cards.... that's why they had a 1030 in the 1st place. A low profile 1050 might be a good option for many, if a new one could be found. And yes, it matters about new vs used, because many people don't trust used GPUs... especially in light of many cards having been abused in mining. So yes, the xx30 cards are not good price/performance, but many would rather upgrade their GPU, than upgrade their whole PC (new case and new psu, and probably new mobo, memory, etc). The 1630 is not meant to compete with higher end cards.... but I think for many it might provide a path upwards from a 1030.. Sure, you are right, if they had room in their case and a more powerful psu, then the 1630 is a waste of time, space and everything else, but then the 1030 would similarly be a waste. So the 1630 just might find a niche with customers that currently have a 1030. And if they could afford, they should probably just build a new PC.
@@pawnslinger1 I get what you saying. Like totally but here's the thing, low profile cards exist, lets take for example my storage server, it is a small gtx 1050ti, it barely draws any power and does not need power from the psu, it pulls 75w's so thats all done from the pcie express lane, the GTX 1630 appears to be bigger and needs extra power, so no its pretty pointless, bare in mind you can still bug new gtx 1050ti's on amazon or some other place, in this day an age theres no need for a low profile GPU since we have many that are still capable with gaming, the gtx 1630 is just another card that nvidia is just trying to make extra money off of when its competitors the gtx 1050 and 1050ti still keep up with it. So all in all the gtx 1630 is a massive waste and time, it should've never been considered in the first place especially with it's high price. The RTX 3050 is quite close to the price of this thing
@@SlyStarling At this point, the 1050 or 1050ti, if it is available in low profile w/o need for PCIe supplementary power, would clearly be the better choice. I doubt the current 1630 that needs extra PCIe power is the version people would use to replace 1030, because most of those people have rigs with weak psu... and/or limited space in their case. So the current 1630 that was evaluated here would not do. But I am sure somebody will produce a low power low profile version. And the 1050 series cards are legacy cards.... i.e. to be replaced by newer versions eventually.... so while they may be available now, I doubt many 1030 owners will want to upgrade to either the 1050s or 1650s... too big, too noisy, too much power requirement. In a lot of systems, even 75 watts is pushing it, because they were built on mobo's that were not intended for gaming to begin with... and yet these systems are very popular. My wife and daughter both use old Optiplex rigs. My daughter upgraded from a 750ti to 1060 dual fan... a tight fit, real tight as most of the sata ports were blocked by the 1060, so to make it work, I had to buy a PCIe sata card and a new psu for her. She is happy, but it was touch and go. A low power low profile 1630 might have been just as good (I don't know).

It was a nice upgrade from the 750ti, which was a small oem version that used less than 75 watts..
This is actually sad coming from nvidia. Pricing it over 100 is not ideal for a card like this. It should be named as a GT 1630 instead of GTX. Can't believe its been beat by a 6 year old card!
Mate can you compare gtx 960 with gtx 1630 cause I’ve seen gtx 1050ti and gtx 960 are on par and this give a so hope that even gtx 960 could beat gtx 1630 some little margin or maybe lose a quite little margin
I'm still running the 1050ti. Its still an ok card, but is starting to massively show its age. A lot of it is probably my cpu as well.. its time for a complete upgrade, my motherbord is to old to upgrade cpu as its already maxed out :(

Fun fact: Here in Taiwan, their respective prices are

Thing is, even the 1050ti is capable of being overclocked while even still using just PCIe power, like my Zotac 1050ti OC, whose base clock is almost the same as the rated boost clock of the base 1050ti and can boost to just above 1800MHz out of the box under the right conditions (I don't trust Heaven Valley listing it OC'ing to over 2000MHz though 😂😂😂). So unless the entire silicon batch is too binned poorly to OC, the 1630 shouldn't even need the +six pin cable to be OC'd...

Comparatively speaking in actual numbers, the 1050 4GB is an anomaly and extremely rare in the world of 1050 cards.

Performance wise, I find the 1630 to be a decent card as it is supposed to be a 1030 replacement. Its not meant to replace the 1050, as that got replaced by 1650. It is a nice leap that you expect to get from a generational leap.
However, the pricing (msrp) is so fucking ridiculous it kills the card. It completely makes it useless at that pricepoint. If this was priced the same way the 1030 msrp was, it wouldve been nice. Not to mention its released way too late.
Except that it is labeled as GTX, not as GT
Then it should have been called the "GT 1630", not the GTX 1630. If Nvidia weren't trying to price gouge the consumer and just made this a GT card, this would be a lot more forgivable.

No, the vram matters quite a lot. Its just nvidia's memory compression is really good so even if you exceed the vram capacity your performance won't immediately tank. It'll take a slight dive.
If the 1050 had its full 4gb of vram, it'd have been as good as the gtx 1630, if not a tiny bit better.
Oh and of course, the mobile 1050 does have 4gb of vram, performs similar to the desktop variant AND uses only 50w. So, it'd even beat the 1630 in efficiency.

All games averaged in case anyone was wondering:
GTX 1630 - 52 FPS
GTX 1050 Ti - 58 FPS
GTX 1050 - 49 FPS
So long and short of it is that the 1630 is worse than a 1050Ti, and not far off the 1050 non-Ti performance. I really do wonder what the latter would be like if it was a 4GB card, and not a 2GB card.
That performance difference in cyberpunk nicely shows why nVidia drivers aren't open source. Imagine community prolonging the life of cars nVidia would rather see in dumps than in computers.
The 1050 Ti has some life left in it yet because of FSR, especially the FSR 2.0 mod that lets it work in place of DLSS. It's basically a 30 FPS card at this point though but personally I'm fine with a locked 30 FPS so long as it's stable and properly frametimed (RTSS helps there).
well done with the face in the thumbnail lad
The way i see this card is that although it's capable of gaming, this is mainly targeted towards productivity, basically a low cost successor to the GT 1030, with modern architecture.
I believe the strong point of the 1630 will be the price if it drops.
It needs to be around 100€ for that though.

Some things to consider : 1. quantity of VRAM - either you have it or you don't . Some games require 4 GB VRAM even on 1080p low. If you have only 2 GB , then system RAM would be used which is much slower 2. speed of VRAM - difference between GDDR5 and GDDR6 is not that great, except in games that move around large textures like Cyberpunk 2077 . Thus 1630 actually wo in that game . 3. processing power - usually most important thing, 1050 Ti has clear advantage there and so advantage in most games . 1050 is not so far in this regard compared to 1630 . 4. Bandwidth - to notice the difference you would need to have more "rich" textures i.e. higher details . Perhaps testing 1050 Ti vs 1630 in 1080p high in Witcher 3 would show the difference between full and cut PCIe lanes.
If you could you should look at some old Quadro cards. I got a mobile workstation recently with an old Kepler Quadro and it's still surprisingly capable.
It's a shame, that a new entry "gaming" card in 2022 can not beat an 7 almost 8 year old budget gaming card. :')
From what I have seen you could buy a 1650 GDDR6 for the going price of a 1630 or a brand new 1050ti. I think it will be a long time before the price of a 1630 comes to reflect it's performance.
Perhaps make a follow up video to show how performance upscaled for 30 series models. A nice comparison would be GT730 vs GT1030 vs GTX1630.
Would like to see a comparison to low profile cards to work out which one is best
Seeing a Gtx 1050 in a video and also seeing how it beats a newer gpu in a few situations kinda makes me pround since my first brand new pc had one and after 5 years of owning it like a secondary pc it still makes me proud seeing how competent it can be in quite a lot of games even in 1440p or 4k with some optimizing.
I didnt know that, 4k wow
@@nashcomp Ran all indie games I was throwing at it at 4k max setting(doesn"t really count) and even Dirt 4 or Dirt Rally 2.0 at 4k with low setting ,also tried fortnite on it at 4k and it managed quite well ,beyond expectations ,I'd say taking into account it is the 2GB version it did quite well ,the only problem was that at 4k It was hitting the 75W power limit due to not having a 6 pin power connector like other versions.
A wise man once said "there's no such thing as a bad GPU only bad prices" the current price of the 1630 is so bad it calls the statement into question.
my brother gave me his old 1050 ti recently and he upgraded to a 3060 ti, though not having enough wattage he's still running his old rx 570
I think it would be interesting if they would make low end cards with Raytracing and more importantly DLSS. Instead of GT they could just name it RT (e.g. RT 3030).
Yeah that would be cool
They need to sell the 3050 ti (laptop) for desktops that would be almost exactly what we need for this. I don’t know if raytracing would do much on cards weaker then that tho, even my 2070 max q doesn’t handle ray tracing very well :(
@@yyeezyy630 I think that Ray Tracing even on those weaker cards makes them more future proof. It is bit like the Xbox Series S which also only supports Ray Tracing in a very basic form.
The 1630 vs 1050 choices for consumers is down to what they each (or in collabs) personally want especially since VMDq passthrough is a thing such as how shader-model is 6.4 vs 6.6 and cuda is 6.1 vs 7.5 and so for example that affects projects people might do which may also use OpenCL. Kinda like how people like to learn some tech things but also do a bit of gaming. Both, after all, are in the middle for GPU cards and not the top range in terms of speed so it is perhaps unsurprising that a person getting one is focussing their budget on other parts of the PC such as CPU. So for instance the CPU is often more for latency sensitive processing of OpenCL compared to the GPU, but the GPU still gets used for some things here and there. Leaning about OpenCL in general and being into making games mods can be exampled with how BeamNG uses OpenCL for physics. As soon as a gaming channel cracks open a level-editor in a game (e.g. FPS multiplayer) and starts modding and scripting for a heat-map, some other coder they work with will mention OpenCL and similar heatmap (e.g. Gaussian function) approachs to writing a game and designing a level for probabilities and predictions, like how in deathmatch where players fall, weapons drop and enemies are often nearby. Both the 1630 and 1050 have OpenCL3, see. The versions of cuda and shader model can also help in 3D modelling and art-packages or video-editing, all of which might contribute to making games.
My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.
So, my laptop 1050 with its 4gb of vram is as good as the gtx 1630? Truly amazing times, especially since I've got a much worse i5 7300hq at 3.1ghz.
Hi Steve, I see ur using mostly low settings. Why is that? I mean u're mostly using CPU at those settings. Do the results differ at all on higher settings?
Presumably the 1630 exists for when the 1050 & 1050 Ti are no longer available, but it makes no sense for it to be more expensive than a 1650, unless of course it will still be around when the 16 cards are only still available via eBay. It makes me wonder if there will be an RTX/GTX 2650, 2660 range. Will we see a low profile RTX card (that isn't technically a workstation card)?
I mean, the most puzzling question for a long time has been "why is the GT 1030 still on sale?".
Hello Random!
Would you recommend a website that I can customize and purchase the whole PC?
Thank you!
Will you review the Intel's graphics card when it's out?
The new GTX 1050 super lookin pretty good 👀
You probably shouldn't make your videos 60 fps as it smoothens the gameplay footage, maybe if you made them 30fps or at least had a 30 fps option we would see what the gameplay truly looks like much better :)
lmao Cyberpunk results had me saying "this is actually not a bad upgrade from my GTX 1050 Ti" but the rest of the video was like "nah nevermind" xD
Yeah I got fooled the same way when testing 😂
I know it's cynical but I don't expect 1630's or 6400's or even 6500's to have any amounts ever being in stock. Neither AMD or nVidia actually want to sell these things. They just want to enforce new price points on future graphics cards across the board. If garbage that used to cost $80 now runs $250 then entry level at $300 makes more sense.
The problem and I see this in a lot of youtube channels is, there is an assumption that we are all misers and we can afford to slap a credit card on the table and spend $600 to $1500 on a new graphics card every 3 years. We just don't want to. The reality is, most of can't. I 'wan't' to buy a 3080ti for$200. It isn't going to happen. AMD and nVidia can want me to pay $500 for a 3060 or a 6700. Can't always get what you want.
The only GTX 1630 I can find is at Scan for £179. I picked up my GTX 1050 used for £74. The cost of the 1630 is ridiculous.
Can't wait for the 3030 next year! 480p ray tracing, here we come!
I replaced a 1050 2 gig with a GTX 1660 6 gig. The main reason was it's the lowest price Nvidia GPU with NVENC that does B frames. Some 1650's use the same NVENC as the 1660, some 1650's use the same NVENC (no B frame support) as the 1050 and others prior to the 1650 with B frame support.
So I could have bought a 1650 to get what I wanted but telling which 1650 I'd be getting with a used card would be difficult or impossible.
The TU116 1650's use the same NVENC as the 1660.
Good news is: nobody has to buy a 1630. In the used market you very often get a 1050 Ti or 1650 (S) for a descend price (again).
Saw many 1050 Ti for about 95 € these days on eBay here in Germany.
I wonder how the 1630 compares to the 1030?? Folks looking to upgrade from a 1030 may be interested in the 1630... can we still get a 1050 or 1050ti new these days? If not, then the 1630 might appeal to 1030 owners - but might not be worth it??
The gtx 1630 is not worth it in any way shape or form, its an overpriced piece of shit of a GPU, at this point get the 1050ti, or even better a 1650, you should'nt care about the 1630 being a "new" card, it all comes down to price to performance, the price does NOT match the performance given therefore completely useless and a waste of resources like silicon etc...
@@SlyStarling Well, no, it really comes down to size of the card and psu requirements. Many people don't have room or power in their rigs for more powerful cards.... that's why they had a 1030 in the 1st place. A low profile 1050 might be a good option for many, if a new one could be found. And yes, it matters about new vs used, because many people don't trust used GPUs... especially in light of many cards having been abused in mining. So yes, the xx30 cards are not good price/performance, but many would rather upgrade their GPU, than upgrade their whole PC (new case and new psu, and probably new mobo, memory, etc). The 1630 is not meant to compete with higher end cards.... but I think for many it might provide a path upwards from a 1030.. Sure, you are right, if they had room in their case and a more powerful psu, then the 1630 is a waste of time, space and everything else, but then the 1030 would similarly be a waste. So the 1630 just might find a niche with customers that currently have a 1030. And if they could afford, they should probably just build a new PC.
@@pawnslinger1 I get what you saying. Like totally but here's the thing, low profile cards exist, lets take for example my storage server, it is a small gtx 1050ti, it barely draws any power and does not need power from the psu, it pulls 75w's so thats all done from the pcie express lane, the GTX 1630 appears to be bigger and needs extra power, so no its pretty pointless, bare in mind you can still bug new gtx 1050ti's on amazon or some other place, in this day an age theres no need for a low profile GPU since we have many that are still capable with gaming, the gtx 1630 is just another card that nvidia is just trying to make extra money off of when its competitors the gtx 1050 and 1050ti still keep up with it. So all in all the gtx 1630 is a massive waste and time, it should've never been considered in the first place especially with it's high price. The RTX 3050 is quite close to the price of this thing
@@SlyStarling At this point, the 1050 or 1050ti, if it is available in low profile w/o need for PCIe supplementary power, would clearly be the better choice. I doubt the current 1630 that needs extra PCIe power is the version people would use to replace 1030, because most of those people have rigs with weak psu... and/or limited space in their case. So the current 1630 that was evaluated here would not do. But I am sure somebody will produce a low power low profile version. And the 1050 series cards are legacy cards.... i.e. to be replaced by newer versions eventually.... so while they may be available now, I doubt many 1030 owners will want to upgrade to either the 1050s or 1650s... too big, too noisy, too much power requirement. In a lot of systems, even 75 watts is pushing it, because they were built on mobo's that were not intended for gaming to begin with... and yet these systems are very popular. My wife and daughter both use old Optiplex rigs. My daughter upgraded from a 750ti to 1060 dual fan... a tight fit, real tight as most of the sata ports were blocked by the 1060, so to make it work, I had to buy a PCIe sata card and a new psu for her. She is happy, but it was touch and go. A low power low profile 1630 might have been just as good (I don't know). Anyhow, she is happy with the results and is thrilled with the 1060 (the price was right, it was my old 1060 so she got it for free, and I purchased the needed sata card and psu). It was a nice upgrade from the 750ti, which was a small oem version that used less than 75 watts..
Still rocking the 1050 ti (I have the ASUS Cerberus edition) over here, glad to see it in a video.
Yeah it’s still holding up well!
This is actually sad coming from nvidia. Pricing it over 100 is not ideal for a card like this. It should be named as a GT 1630 instead of GTX. Can't believe its been beat by a 6 year old card!
This is why I love your channel! Also can you compare it with rx 6400?
Check out scatter volt he made a comparison video between the 1630 and 6400
Only you would display the cards lying on grass. That's why I love you. haha
I figured it’s so hot out that there’s no chance the grass is wet haha
Try using the cards with a stronger one and use Async Compute in Halo Infinite?
What would you get for playing MSFS2020 RTX 3070TI or RTX 3080? Thank You
I heard the seagulls. I'm glad they're doing okay c:
Haha yeah they’re all out enjoying the sunshine
video idea: use dxcpl to enable software rendering on modern games
Mate can you compare gtx 960 with gtx 1630 cause I’ve seen gtx 1050ti and gtx 960 are on par and this give a so hope that even gtx 960 could beat gtx 1630 some little margin or maybe lose a quite little margin
I'm still running the 1050ti. Its still an ok card, but is starting to massively show its age. A lot of it is probably my cpu as well.. its time for a complete upgrade, my motherbord is to old to upgrade cpu as its already maxed out :(
what motherboard you have? On aliexpress they sell laptop 10th gen laptop chips wich they modified so they fit 1151 motherboards, they are like 100 euro's for the 6 core 12 thread ones.
@@budgetking2591 my motherbord is an asus z97-e usb 3.1 1150 socket.
I have an I7 4790k its the best the bord can take as far as I understand it. Basically its so old its time to upgrade it all.
Thank you for the suggestion though.
any chance you can test the 1630 with a native 1366*768 monitor?
Case and point for avoiding a 1630, I bought a used 1060 6gb for $130…Nothing needs to be said about performance.
That was like comparing cow pies to horse apples to dog excrement...
My EVGA GTX 760 SC beats a brand new gpu that costs over twice what the 760 goes for on the used market
Sad
I can't find a SINGLE listing for a 1630. But in a perfect world, the card should cost $75-$100
