MSI Gaming X GTX 1650 Graphics Card Review

Power Consumption
Shock and awe seems to be the name of the game here. The MSI Gaming X uses the most power of the GTX 1650’s. However, at 148.7 watts, it’s still using LESS than half the power of the RX570’s 312 watts. That just shows the gains of a more modern chipset right there.
Temperatures
The big cooler delivered good results too, hitting just 65c, however, through magic or luck, the Gigabyte card is still much cooler.
Acoustics
The big fans on this card do bring some obvious benefits to the table though. At just 38.4c, the low RPM of the fans is unlikely to ever be a bother. Even if it did, the temperatures are good enough to slow them down further if you wanted.
