ASUS GTX 1650 Phoenix Graphics Card Review

Power Consumption

This cards party trick definitely comes in the form of efficiency. Not only is the card cheap, but it’s noticeably affordable to run. 122.6 Watts power is staggeringly low, given this bench is running an i9-9900K CPU. Compare that to the slightly faster RX570, which at 312 Watts may as well be powered by coal compared to the rather green GTX 1650.

Temperatures

The Phoenix ran quite a bit warmer than the Gaming OC. However, Gigabyte have a huge dual-fan cooler configuration vs the Phoenix which has a dinky little blower fan. Sure, it’s still enough, 68.7c is fine, but it’s clear the difference a big cooler makes.

Acoustics

Despite being a tiny cooler, it doesn’t run the fan that hard really. It trades off the slightly higher temperatures for low noise. 37.9 dBa is fantastically low, and also much quieter than we expected.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
