This was a vile restock from Nvidia to "fill in the gpu shortage"
And just like last year, nobody will buy it
Literal bottom of the barrel silicon
@Cool_Moo5e yeah, like it's okay for what it is, but should have been cheaper, and no pcie connector.
@@aboveaveragebayleaf9216 how would you use it exactly?
@oxfordsparky it's fine as an upgrade for an old machine, or a used office pc. You can play plenty of games on it if you don't expect it to be great at new AAA titles. A 1050ti class card is more capable than you'd think if you manage expectations. Probably on par with a launch ps4 or so.
The 1630 is what you find in those "gaming" systems listed on places like Amazon and eBay from people who put older parts in a case with RGB lighting and pay a premium for a system that will struggle with anything but eSports titles at low settings.
"ULTRA FAST GAMING PC"
Isn't that the gt710?
That and the amd 10 core rigs which are just old fm2 CPUs
I saw number of times they put gtx 1050 and 1030 in "gaming machine" still :D
@@irgendwerirgendwo9095GT 710 + Sandy Bridge Intel Core 2th gen
On the positive side, GTX 1630 performs about the same level as GTX 590, the topmost GPU just over a decade ago
the gtx 1630 is worse than 1050ti but requires a power connection, that's bad
is it not a 75ish watt card? If not that is bad.
12 years ago and the 590 is 2 times faster in sli games.
@@David_Quinn_PhotographyIt is but still requires a 6 pin bcs of the terrible sillicon quality.
@@costi2596 my bad. I compared the benchmark with the SLI disabled version of 590 (effectively a 580)
The 1630 would have been "ok" if it was the size of a stick of SODIMM RAM with no fans or heatsinks that could fit into the smallest of smallest mini systems. Instead it's a brick that is outperformed by other bricks from 10 years ago.
you could pick up a used 1070 for around the same price as the 1630. Just food for thought
Yeah the 1070 is a great bargain right now
used 1070's are the bread and butter of medium high 100+fps at 1080p
@@RandomGaminginHDi got a 1070ti for 85$ bucks used its amazing now i need a 4k monitor
This card was probably created from old leftover parts that were sitting in Nvidia’s stockroom for like 7 years
😂😂
That "Happy birthday" banner has more effort than whatever Nvidia is doing with this GPU.
The thing I didn't understand is how the card didn't come with no pcie power connector by default. That is the only market this thing should fill as a 1050ti alternative.
Yep
the 6400 does a way better job at filling that role while actually being efficient. the 1630 is just straight up crap tbh
@zhila5958 they both are shit though since most of the systems you'd put an rx6400 in are pcie Gen3 or less. Both companies taking advantage of desperation.
@@zhila5958 like I'm not saying the rx6400 performance isn't good for the size/wattage, but they missed the mark a bit in many ways.
@@aboveaveragebayleaf9216 The 6400 works well in a PCIe 3.0 system and is much higher performance than the 1630, I only ever used mine in a 3.0. Even with a couple fps lopped off it's still way faster. The single slot LP design one is the cheapest and all are slot-power only so at least the 6400 fits a (small) niche tho still too expensive IMO. The 1630 fits a price point for Nvidia and that's it.
From what I can tell, the 1630 hovers in the same tier as like, a GTX 660 Ti from 2012 - albeit with actual driver support and a bit more VRAM.
If you get a 3gb(somewhat rare now) version of the GTX 660 TI, it does perform better than the 1630. If you get two 3gb versions of the GTX660 TI in SLI they perform much better than a 1630. But that just depends on what game.
@@afterglow3557 that is so not worth it based on power consumption alone
@@afterglow3557 SLI is irrelevant as of now, games still mostly harness most perf from a single gpu anyway
gtx 680*
@@afterglow3557 Except, it's draws more power than the 1630, SLI is dead, pretty much no newer motherboard has an SLI badge AND driver support is out of the question.
I agree, this is not a bad GPU, it just has a bad price. If this came out for $50-70 this would've been a good GPU to put it in an office PC or an old DELL Optiplex build. The GTX 1630 is good enough if you do E-Sports titles or low demanding games.
It’s a disgrace
Exactly, everything has a market if the price fits it in. This is an example of getting this completely wrong.
Eh eh, name me one GPU of the last decade that came out with this as MSRP from the start.... I dare you
I love the irony in the only cards you should ever want to use DLSS and/or FrameGen with are completely incapable of using their own manufacturer's technology. nVidia truly is a wonder of the modern age.
1630 has basically the same price as 1650.. However the 1650 is considerable faster..
Yep. Madness
I recently bought a 1650 for 50€ so...
in my experience the 1650 is probably twice as fast for the same price.
Rx580 is crazy cheap rn. Like $65 usd for 8gb model. Thats not bad either
@@ilovehotdogs125790 Best deal I saw here was a Vega 56 for 70 euros. The other one that was kind of good was the Titan X Maxwell for 100 euros.
Only reason to buy if it is your only option to upgrade an older Optiplex/prebuilt that doesn't have a PSU with 6-pin or 8-pin PCI-E power connectors.
If one does you're getting off getting a used GTX 960 or better yet something even better like GTX 1060 3GB or the RX 470 used. They'll perform better in 95% of games and be cheaper!
I dont think I have seen any one else cover any Palit cards. I have always been curious. You also have the best garden aesthetic in the sector
on its own the power usage is pretty good. but considering the 1650 uses nearly identical power (max 75 watt) while giving better performance means even that targument is not really valid. The 1630 really is a waste of money.
I checked the uk market, £150 new. An absolutely awful price as even the rx 6500xt is far more powerful and cheaper. Even the rx6400 is better in performance and starts at £115. There is pretty much no reason for the 1630 to exist
and if you can go another 35-50 quid, and have a half-decent PSU, you can go all the way to a 6600!
Just get a 4090
Cannot see how you can recommend a 4090 in a discussion about budget graphics cards. Clearly the 4090ti is the answer. Anything less and I might as well get an xbos series s
i get buying used is "risky" but i'd rather eat the cost of a 580/1070 than buy this shit new, also you can never tell people your system specs they *will* laugh when you mention the 1630
@mlordslav258 I'd take a gamble on a £60 soyo rx 580 from ali express over these if my psu could do it
Just love your content with cool background of garden !❤
Glad you enjoy it!
If the price was better, it'd make a great Hardware Transcoding card for Plex, but there are so many cheaper options that work well.
I think the worst of em all is the RTX 4060, they just straight up scamming people and they ain't trying covering it up anymore.
The product itself is fine. The price at the other hand is too high. should be 199 at best.
suckers are buying 4060ti. they’ll probably think that POS is worth it at 300$. 300$ for a 1050 equivalent if 2023
honestly the 4060 ti is worse
@@DeadPhoenix86DPhe price and naming is just all wrong, Ngreedia is blatantly trying to take money now. That should be a 4050, maybe 4050 TI
I do like the 4060 for it’s frame gen features, handy for an old PC, but there are certainly better used deals that’s for sure
I'm still amazed at how much better my old 1080 is compared to this 1 year old card....
the GTX 1080 it's still trading blows with the RTX 3060 except for the amount of vram... exactly like the RTX 4060
Yep, you know something's wrong, when it gets beat by a late-2010s video card!
When will they release a new 30 series card and will it be faster than a flagship from less than 10 years ago? If they could release a say 4030 or whatever with the performance of a 1070 or 1080 for less than $150 they'd really have something but seeing how the 4060 has performed...I don't think so.
I’d love a 4030. Even if it matched the 1060 I’d be happy. Sell it for 100 or less than used 1060s and it would be so popular
Great video as usual
Thanks again!
Nvidia saw the rx 6400 and went, “wait we have to beat amd at having the worst gpu on the market” lmao
exactly.
Rx 5300 and rx 6400 xd
where I live they tried so hard to sell me that card but I opted for the 1050ti (4gb) stormX Palet the one without the power connectors... such good choice... only have to redo the thermal paste once in a while when temps go up ,,, I bought mine in early 2020 and never had any issues with it otherwise apart from a mistake over clocking it a little which made it act up but restore it back to its defaults and never bothered again .. why tweak something that works just fine for me!! good video as per
I... Had no idea this existed. I am at a genuine loss that I missed this. I guess it is really that bad.
Nvidia just be trolling us just to see if they can get away with it.
Didn't even know it existed. I do have a 1650 Super (amongst others) which I got new and runs great in my HTPC.
Love the 1650 super!
My dads work just got these instead of the 3070 like I reconmended for CAD work and they already went back to their RX480s after using them for a few weeks.
So they asked and then didn't do what you said? Why ask at all then?
@@GoonyMclinux People think they know better, for some reason. Had a friend that always did that, ask me how to do something then do everything the opposite of what I said then complain that it didn't turn out good like mine. Well of f**king course, I told you how to do ot correctly.
As for OP maybe the guy thought they would be as good but cheaper ? I dunno, if you have no idea about computer hardware maybe listen to the man that does. Which begs the question, who is running CAD and is completely oblivious to the hardware to do stuff properly ? It's like my stepdad who wanted to build a computer so he could record music and then just bought completely worthless components (twice).
@@Gatorade69 I have people ask me all the time for a variety of topics, I eventually stopped trying to help because people literally never care what you said. No I just say I can't help unless I build it to my specs or whatnot. 🤣
@@Gatorade69Why would they pitch an RX 480 for a 1630? Sounds like they downgraded to me.
@@Gatorade69 I'd hope it's faster than a 1650. It's just as fast as the 1060 or sometimes even faster.
Palit cards are my favourites, to be honest. I'm currently using a single-fan palit GTX 1660 Super and it's a pretty decent little card
Yep love palit cards. Often simple in design yet work cool and quietly
@@RandomGaminginHD exactly! i like to go for no-rgb builds so they fit in very well
Should i buy a used 1660 Super today ?
@@lil_per_vert It all comes down to the price. Not a bad card at all if you can get one for under $100.
@@lil_per_vert Depends on price and the types of game you want to play. If you're planning on playing at 1080p med-high settings, it might be enough, depending on the game. It can handle Cyberpunk and Red Dead just fine, though it's starting to show its age when trying to run anything that's much newer
How about a comparison video between an RDNA APU and this card? Maybe even RDNA2.
Should compare that to Intel Iris Xe 96, the Radeon 680M, 780M, Vega 8.
I think both 680m and 780m already beat it
What about using it in something like a PLEX server, I am not sure if it has an encoder or anything, but just wondering if that would be a good use for one
Thanks for including Battlebit Remastered
why did they even bother giving it 2 fans? the 1660ti is still looking good on the other hand
Because those are the only fans this card has.
I remember how much negative press the 6500XT got on release however, at the time, it was a god-send for people who couldnt get a new GPU at a reasonable price. I got one and I use it in a PC and it purrs along just nicely. The 1630 did also get a bad time when released but I bet that it sold well to those who were running APUs and suffering for it. Thanks for the video :-)
Same! I also put pcie 4.0 into consideration by pairing it with an 11400F and its been a beast of a card considering i havent had a gpu since my ati radeon from many years ago. However it has some coil whine in oddly specific cases such as clearing the screen in oe cake which can be solved by capping the fps and stressing it for a pretty long time
I buyed a 6500XT for $99 in 2022 and it came with a game for free (Dead Island 2). The 1630 is really not worth.
Awesome :)
honestly in maybe two years this will be a 900P GPU, it's a disappointing GPU, the low profile models are good for old SSF computers for emulation and playing old games otherwise it's useless. thanks for this benchmark.
It already isn't really a 1080p gpu in New games.
@@aboveaveragebayleaf9216 yeah I agree
The fact that you'll most likely need FSR with this GPU tells you everything.
When people can buy a used rx 580 or a used gtx 1080 for a similar price, then it kinda doesn't make sense to get one of these, especially since it still needs an additional power plug, like the one you've got.
What GPU do you have?
@@TheRealJohnHooper gtx 1080, recently upgraded from an rx580. Looking to upgrade to at least an rx 6800. I recently bought the gtx 1080 for a little over $100 on ebay. I bought the rx 580 over a year ago for about $115. There's a lot of good deals out there if you look for one. The gtx 1630 isn't even a good deal if you're looking for a low profile card, because gtx 1650s also work in that situation.
@@mew2.025 i have also gtx 1080. I think for us is the best 6700 xt, 3070 (though it lacks more vram), 3080, or rtx 4070. 4070 is good because of low power usage, probably the best card if someone is looking at power usage, though prices for rtx 4*** are all over the place.
@@milosstojanovic4623upgraded from a 3 year old 2070 to a 4070 for 550€ used (for 1 month)
Sold the 2070 to my brother for cheap and built him a pc
@@ToniFalck The problem with the RTX 20-series, is that at least the early ones, reportedly come with defective VRAM chips! I suspect the Supers have a next-to-zero-percent chance of this, OTOH.
Would putting the setting a down to 720 high get you closer to 60 fps? Or would you still have to have the settings on low ?
it not bad gpu it bad price
I still love to game with my RX570 to this day, it's an old warrior.
For some reason I found this lower settings graphics in the Far Cry 6 game just looks a bit more realistic than the game in ultra
Oh god, this card... It's not a successor to the 1030 when a lot of models require a power connector (oh, and the card is too expensive anyway) and it's not a gaming card due to the poor performance you're getting. You might as well get a 1050ti, which performs slightly better, but I know the 1050Ti's limits because I have one in my gaming laptop!
I'd like too see how this holds up against the a380
The a380 is better, especially now with new drivers
@@RandomGaminginHD idk man you might need to make another good video too see how they preform against eachother....
Better pitted this card with rx 6400
Holly crap I just checked prices here in Poland. How the hell this rubbish card cost similarly to RX6600 (that is actually very usable) is completely beyond me .
If there's a way, these pc games should be tested on the highest end flagship smartphones for instance the ROG phone 7 ultimate. I've got a feeling that it might show better performance than the cheap gpus out there!
(if there's proper driver support ig)
"Terrible value for money" seems to be the recurring trend of GPU's nowadays.
I was so excited for this
My sister got a 1030 DDR4 instead of GDDR5 so we send it back and she had the choice between 1630 and RX 6400. Glad she went with AMD, it's a really nice small GPU.
Yeah the 6400 is ok at the right price for sure, and brilliant in comparison to this lol
As a video adapter+ for like, I dunno, 50-70 Quid then yeah, perhaps. The thing is though APUs have pushed beyond this
Yeah I think £79 would have been fair too.
You should test cards in Tabletop Simulator at Ultra settings for the funny
You must try games on 720p or even 600x800 with this card
Absolutely no reason why this card should be full height or dual slot with a power connector. It's ridiculous how overbuilt it is for how poorly it performs. Should have been a single slot low profile card akin to the Radeon 6400 that could be thrown into any old office PC to at least let you play a few games on it.
Palit probably reuses the same PCB and heatsink design for other cards as a cost-cutting measure
Man thanks for reminding this gpu exist i literary forgot about this thing
I have to be constantly reminded this card even exists, thanks Steve.
Glad I picked up an RX580 for only $50 (Original box too)!
Bargain!
@@RandomGaminginHD Thanks, however the $14 shipping was a bit steep. At least it's a Nitro+
I got what looks like the best variant of XFX RX 580 in 2019, 1405 MHz GPU boost clock out-of-the-box. It was less than $300.
from $130-150 budget one of Best Gpu to get is a used gtx 1080,5700xt or for lower power Consumption Rx 6600
yeah the 6600 remains a great deal especially
I had a GTX 1650.
It could run games like fallout almost fine with bottlenecks.
I am fine with my GTX 1070 from ebay for now.
But for new fallout game i would consider to switch to a new RTX graphics.
Cards like this should have a molex power connector if they’re going to have one at all.
Is Palit a European brand? I'm really not familiar with them aside from occasionally hearing them mentioned, and it's usually mentioned by people from the UK.
Is this the gtx 1630?
a lot of those would be completely playable if you'd just lower the resolution down to 900 or 720p
I totally forgot about this card. Also the 1030, you don't see them anywhere in the secondhand market. They were the card to settle for during the pandemic.
Cheers to Battle Bit Remastered for making this crappy card know the feeling of rendering something at over a hundred frames per second.
😂
Curious how it stacks up to the A380 and rx 6400 respectively,Awesome benchmarking no assist just raw output,love it
It sits poorly against the RX 6400. Even that weedy card is 50% faster than the GTX 1630.
The 6400 destroys it. In fact the 6400 is slightly faster than the GTX1650 while consuming about 15-20 watts less. It's actually kind of impressive.

Never even knew those existed, only thought it was the 1650 and 1660
Can you do the same video for Rx6500xt
basically its a 710, nothing more then a fancy display adapter. But pretty sure the OEM's are happy about this card, because they can write nVidea GTX on it.
I found a 980 ti and 1060 6gb for $50 and 1070 for as low as $65 and 1070 ti for $100, definitely not worth buying this thing
I think even the iGPU in the ROG Ally beats this card
Oh for sure
Yeah, this thing often slower than 1050 ti
07:20 : do you think that a GTX1050Ti would get 36fps average on Hogwarts Legacy ? i'm not so sure...
perhaps a revisit of the GTX1050Ti in those same games would be a good idea , but in any case , personally , i would choose a *Turing low-end GPU* over a Pascal low-end GPU.
(happy birthday GTX1630 )
Not sure why he's comparing it to the 1050ti. The 1630 performs similar to the 1050, while the 1650 performs similar to the 1050ti.

The "GTX" 1630? You're probably better off with a GTX 1060 3GB to be honest. They can be found for as little as $50 here in Canada.
Yep, the '1630 should be called "GT"!
I know running recent games is good to see how the card handles those games. But with the rise of indie games and a lot of cases of them outselling modern games. Would be interesting to see a indie only set up. Then with a few FP2 games thrown in. Maybe find a sweet spot for price and performance.
My 1650 looks the exact same I thought you was going to diss my gpu
1050 ti’s are pretty expensive where (I live still I live in Mexico btw) they’re about 130-150 for them and these are about 10-20 dollars cheaper sometimes so these are a better option I would say where I live considering the extra support since it’s a newer card
Oh yeah in that case this makes more sense
It's all relative to what game or games you want to play I guess then. But $80 would have been a more attractive price.
Why tf did the 1630 have a 6 pin connector when the 1650 didn’t AND had a low profile variant
I still heartbroken then the 1010 GT is nowhere to be found 😐😑
Paired with the right CPU, this seems like it would give OG PS4 and Xbox One performance. Maybe the Pro and X.

@@RandomGaminginHDno worries! keep the content coming king!
I can't believe that the 1630 is really a thing. The power consumption is almost the same as the 1650 at 75W and yet it's just a 1050-Ti with slightly worse performance. Couldn't they just continue in the 1650 or 1660 version? The partnered manufacturers are also getting out of hand since 2020. Powercolor, PNY, Gainward, Inno3D (That one with those ancient GPUs back from the 90s), WHO ARE THEY? They literally have the crappiest designs. Each partnered manufacturer has different clock and memory speeds. There's a small 1650 with no external power and with an aluminum heatsink, meanwhile somewhere in the universe, there's a 1650 with 6 or 8-pin power connector and a giant ass heatsink with 2 heatpipes holding the temps under 50°C all time. I think there must be some rules so we could prevent the waste. I understand that all manufacturers make a potential cut out of each GPU bought, but It's pretty unfair to make a GPU with the same die, but with a different power.
This card doesn't even deserve GTX name for that performance. Should be GT card instead.
G'day Random,
🤔128Bit or less I wouldn't call a Memory Bus...

You don't need to go for a 2nd hand 1050, just get a rx580 or a 1660S/ti for 60-90$.
Sure they've been mined but if U inspect the card carefully and find a healthy one, after some cleanup-repaste it's gonna be MUCH better value than this one
The biggest problem with this card is that the half-height 75W 1650 exists.
