NVIDIA announced the company's entry-level GeForce GTX 1630 graphics card a few days ago, retailing for $169. Through testing by technical institutions such as Guru3D and TechPowerUP, we found that the new GPU is not only slower than the AMD Radeon RX 6400 RDNA 2-based GPU, but also performs the same as the 2016 GPU released by NVIDIA - the GTX 1050 Ti.
The company has been pretty quiet during the launch of the new GeForce GTX 1630 graphics card. Nvidia's partners like Inno3D try to educate potential customers on its new design and recap the PCB and cooling technology from its 2020 predecessor, the GTX 1650 model. Inno3D is also one of the few companies to publish graphics card performance benchmark results.
Judging from the performance statistics with other graphics cards, it is obvious that NVIDIA officially plans to replace the previous GTX 1050 Ti. The GTX 1050 Ti was originally released in 2016, based on NVIDIA's Pascal architecture, and was priced at $139 at launch. Results from Inno3D put the NVIDIA GTX 1630 on par with the GTX 1050 Ti, a 17% improvement over the non-Ti variant of the GTX 1050. When comparing performance under newer games, such as "Assassin's Creed", the performance is basically usable, while in environments such as "Valhalla", "Control" and "Cyberpunk 2077", the graphics requirements It becomes incompetent when playing higher games.
Of course, the product 6 years ago is not exactly the same. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 includes an updated media decoder that supports VP8 and H.265 (HVEC) codecs, which is not available in the Pascal series. NVIDIA's new GTX 1630 offers a TU117-150 GPU utilizing the Turing-based architecture and comes with 512 CUDA cores.
partners reveal pricing for new GPU , even though Nvidia has tried to dissuade it. Computer technology brand EVGA lists the company's GeForce GTX 1630 SC as $199, and Colorful has announced that its custom card will retail for $169. The release price of the public version card will be lower, although it is not known whether it will reveal a lower or higher price due to the cost of inflation and the possibility of economic recession.
