It's been a trying time for anyone looking for a new Nvidia or AMD graphics card this past year and a half. Fortunately, it appears as though the market is healing now, which is good timing, seeing as the next GPU generation is just a few months away. With the former's Ada Lovelace possibly coming this September and the latter's RDNA 3 cards aiming for an October release, now appears to be the closing moments of this era.

This GPU will represent the low end of the hardware range, and as the prefix GTX suggests, is actually based off the Turing architecture, which was originally released back in 2018.

In terms of the hardware's specs, the 1630 will feature 4 GB of GDDR6 RAM but will be on a 64-bit memory bus, rather than the 128-bit bus of the GTX 1650 and 1050 Ti cards from the same generation. It will, however, sport a speedier boost clock than the other two models and will have a TDP of 75W. In general, this will be a more suitable card for anyone looking for something much cheaper, but with lower specifications.
