Palit GTX 1650 StormX OC Graphics Card Review

Power Consumption

Finally, we have the GTX 1650’s party trick. While the other GTX 1650’s clocked a fantastically low 120-148 Watts, this one used just 93.3. Seriously, UNDER A HUNDRED WATTS. How the bloody hell did they do that on an i9-9900K powered rig.

Temperatures

Extremely low power usage means extremely low temperatures too. Just 45c at full load is insanely low. I’m amazed there wasn’t frost on the back of the card. It may have been 4 FPS behind the other GTX 1650’s, but this cool, this low on power, is incredible.

Acoustics

The downside is that tiny fan does work away pretty hard at stock. It’s 43.7 dBa. Why though, I don’t know, as the card isn’t hot. I’d dial back your fan profile a lot and keep things quiet.

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!

  1. Given how cool it runs and it’s low power draw along with Palit’s track record with the Kalmx versions of the 750ti and 1050ti i would love to see them release a 1650 version , maybe even a 1650ti.
