Nvidia GTX 1630 Test Indicates It's 'Severely Lacking' In Performance

gamerant.com:

In the world of graphics card technology, AMD and Nvidia continue to battle it out, trying to push the other aside by offering superior products. Even with the upcoming generation, team red is hinting that its RDNA 3 cards could be more efficient than Ada Lovelace, so there's some flexing going on. But the show must go on, and team green has recently unleashed its budget GPU based on the Turing architecture, but it looks as though it won't be making a splash.

In a benchmark test conducted by TechPowerUp, the Nvidia GTX 1630 card appears to be lacking in overall performance. While it's three times faster than the GTX 1030 and has good overclocking potential, it seems to have fallen short of the mark, even for a budget piece of hardware. The fact that it outshines the 1030 may not be impressive to some. After all, this is a GPU that originally came out in 2017, so a graphics card that beats a five-year-old product may not seem like much to shout about, but it definitely is an improvement at least.

Going even further into comparisons, the test concludes that AMD's Radeon RX 6400, which came out earlier this year, is 60% faster than the 1630. The former itself is something of an entry-level card, so it's not looking good for team green's latest offering. On top of that, the 1630 doesn't offer support for Nvidia's own DLSS upscaling technology. Of course, this is to be expected, seeing as it's based off the GTX technology. But again, it's another checkmark in the negative column. In general, it seems like a budget GPU that may not be worth it, even for those looking for cheaper hardware.

Nvidia recently launched the GTX 1630 after a short delay. It represents
