ASUS RoG STRIX GTX 1650 OC Edition Graphics Card Review

Power Consumption

So, this is where things get interesting. Overall, it seems the RX570 is about 10% faster overall. However, to do that, the AMD card is burning through 312 watts to do so. That’s a lot, that’s more than a GTX 1080, more than an RTX 2060 too. It’s also more than double the ASUS’s 141.1 Watts. That’s significant, and you’ll no doubt notice the difference in your power bill between the two.

Temperatures

The RX 570 turns that power into heat too, getting up to 75 even with its high powered cooler. That likely means it’s going to suffocate in small form factor systems and need a lot more airflow overall. The ASUS card, however, was just 58c at full load.

Acoustics

With zero RPM fan mode kicking in below 55c, the card actually sat silent for most of our testing. It only got to 58c at full load, which is just 3c above that limit. So the fan really doesn’t have to work for long here. Even when it does, at just 36 dBa it’s one of the quietest cards we’ve ever tested!

As a child in my 40's, 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!
