I was going to defend the 1630 as I thought it was possibly a 35w card, but it's not. with the prebuilt stupidity of 40-50w limits of some pcies i thought it had a market. so it's a £70 card at best for £180, with zero benefits
Yeah this really should have been called the gt 1630 instead for sure or maybe gt 1600. Maybe allowing third party models too use a pci-e 6 pin & overclock the cards too at least beat the 1050 ti in every scenario could have made it a better purchase but nah, a used 1060 3 gb or 1050 ti is much better value for the money, or even a 1650 used is better.
I'd have rather got rid of the 6 pin power connector (so it only ran off the PCI power) and called it the GT 1610. Though having said that, we never saw a GT 1010...

Thing is, even the 1050ti is capable of being overclocked while even still using just PCIe power, like my Zotac 1050ti OC, whose base clock is almost the same as the rated boost clock of the base 1050ti and can boost to just above 1800MHz out of the box under the right conditions (I don't trust Heaven Valley listing it OC'ing to over 2000MHz though 😂😂😂). So unless the entire silicon batch is too binned poorly to OC, the 1630 shouldn't even need the +six pin cable to be OC'd...
I would not pay $100 for a GTX 1650 new. The 1630 should have been called the 1610 for $90 and been a replacement for the GT 710. I think when they run out of damaged 1650 cores the 1630 will disappear the same way the Ryzen 3010 and 3300x did.

Ah, the mighty 1050 Ti. This makes me feel good about continuing to use one in my setup. Wouldn't mind buying a 1630 if it came down a lot in price just to have one.
Bought a used 1050ti back in 2018 for $80 that was from a mining rig to be used in my daughter's computer. Only spent 3 months in the mine and had a fan removed but still worked great. For what I paid it i couldn't be happier with the results. Also have a GTX 970 I bought from EVGA's B-stock on black Friday later that year. Paid $50 for it and have it as a backup incase my 1080 ever died.

Nvidia always seems to launch some of the entry level cards which DOA in terms of performance what they offers as compare to their old previous GPUs and AMD offerings
GT 1030 has no NVENC, and the 16 series NVENC is based on the newer Volta-based, much better than Pascal. Plus, it's stupid to buy a 10 series new (even if there's stock), and you have no warranty on a used 10 series.

@@jaze7045 I think you missed the point, if you are on AMD system, and want to stream/en/decode stuff on the cheap and new, the GTX 1630 is the choice.

@@AlfaPro1337 I honestly doubt people in this price range are looking for encoding performance - they're here for gaming performance. Sure, the NVENC support is better on the 1630; but try telling that to Joe Sixpack who has no interest in content creation.
What we really needed Nvidia was a 1050Ti/1650 replacement around the £150 mark not a GT1030 replacement at £180 that performs worse than a £80 used 1050Ti great video as always but I’m lost with the 1630 🤷🏻♂️
If this card came out costing $70-100 it would be great, but it costs as much as the 1050ti did 6 years ago and gives WORSE performance. How is nobody saying anything about this? This is legitimately criminal
I think putting the 1630 up against a 1050 4GB variant would be worth its own video. Especially since the 1050 4 gig was released at a lower price in 2016 compared to the 1630 in 2022
Comparatively speaking in actual numbers, the 1050 4GB is an anomaly and extremely rare in the world of 1050 cards. If you polled a thousand (every model of) 1050 owners out there, 1050 2GB, 1050 4GB, 1050Ti... i'd be surprised if 5 of them had a 1050 4GB. 99.9% of people who wanted something a little faster than a 1050 just got the 1050Ti. Wouldn't be any real value to the vast, vast majority of gamers to do a 1050 4GB review other than Gee Whiz factor and people saying "I didn't even know a 1050 4GB existed" comments.
Thought GT 1630 is great until I saw that 6-pin connector. I'm surprised why that card needs power connector. I would buy GTX 1060 6GB or RX 580 8GB if I need a PCIe power connector.
@@RandomGaminginHD yeah overall worse performance than a 1050ti, and also having a higher potential power draw. Than a 5 year old card... makes putting it in an office pc more difficult.
I was really excited for this card. Then it was released with an msrp of $150 and everyone I’ve seen for sale has been $200. Way too much for this card. My local computer store has gtx 1650s in stock for $209.
1050ti is still a really good performing card at 1080p - my son was running one running games such as fortnite, rocket league, overwatch, fifa etc. on my old i5 4690k and all still run really well often 60+ fps depending on the settings/scenario
The 1050Ti is still a really good performing card at 1080p games.... (here's the catch)... from many years ago... it's not really a solid performer on newer games at 1080p unless you consider 30fps "solid". It's fine if you just play older or non-demanding games... I wouldn't call it a modern 1080p card though. Not a hater, one of my systems still has a 1050Ti in it and it used to be my "flagship card" some years ago... just saying its time is/has passed.
@@wabbajack8283 there's nothing wrong about the 1050Ti, though it is getting old... however, I really Really hate blanket statements out of the blue like "esport players are the VAST MAJORITY of gamers". Really? Based on what statistical data from what source... or is it anecdotal evidence of "well my friends and I all play esport games so obviously that means the vast majority of gamers everywhere do too". I just hate blanket statements without statistical data backing it up (hey, maybe it's true, I've just never heard that before). The 1050Ti used to be my main card years ago, I have a soft spot for it, but basically it's only good for older games or esport on lower settings. (I'm rocking a 3070Ti these days).
I have a 1050ti and the only problem is the lack of VRAM, its constantly sitting at 100% VRAM usage and the main GPU is only at 60-80% usage. I still get a good 60fps in most games, but would be nice if there was a mod to increase the VRAM as it is the limiting factor
@@saksafann9813 No its sitting about 10-20% with RAM using about 8gb of 16, also most games are on a Samsung 980pro so shouldn't be a Storage problem either
Bruh for me it's like another way around. 4 GB is usually enough for high or medium texture quality but as for all of the other setting I need to lower these to low to get consistant fps
The GTX 1050ti will probably be remembered as one of the all-time great graphics card values. It was very capable of playing games that came out between 2017 - 2019 while not being crazy expensive.
The GTX 1050 Ti and the GTX 1060 6Gb are still incredible value for budget gamers nowadays... and the whole GTX 1000 series (Pascal architecture) were awesome. Even the 1080 Ti is still a great option. It stands between the RTX 2070 and RTX 3060Ti in rasterization performance (depending of the game off course).
From other benchmarks I saw, it is better to get the rx 6400 on pcie 3.0. I believe it's 10-20% improvement depending on the game and settings but that is the general difference between the two
I have both the HH SS size 6400 and a slot power only 1050Ti and the 6400 is faster in everything I tested except modded Minecraft. However I've had the 1050Ti for over 4 years and it will continue it's valiant service in a Dell MT. The 6400 is in a Dell SFF.
This is actually sad coming from nvidia. Pricing it over 100 is not ideal for a card like this. It should be named as a GT 1630 instead of GTX. Can't believe its been beat by a 6 year old card!
So long and short of it is that the 1630 is worse than a 1050Ti, and not far off the 1050 non-Ti performance. I really do wonder what the latter would be like if it was a 4GB card, and not a 2GB card.
I use a basic 1050 daily, honestly its perfectly acceptable as a daily user with light gaming... it will breathe new life into your old pc, civ 5... cs go... arma 2/ day z etc will run with no issues
I have a feeling these gpus will have their RRP/MSRP dropped very soon due to the criticism being received …. It’s happened with the RX6500XT and RX6400 👍😅
@@PC_Pineapple I'd say it's lasted pretty well over the years for a budget card. My first card was a GTX 770 and that fell off the cliff quicker than the 1050ti has, by 2016 I was turning the resolution down to maintain frame rates with that one.
@@RandomGaminginHD you should look into the used market idk how it is where you are but my friend just got a 3060ti for freaking 200 bucks lol. last month my other dude got a 2070 super for 200. i can see some cards just not worth to sell at all or worth buying. hell give it another month 2060 super gonna be 100 bucks easy
I know it's cynical but I don't expect 1630's or 6400's or even 6500's to have any amounts ever being in stock. Neither AMD or nVidia actually want to sell these things. They just want to enforce new price points on future graphics cards across the board. If garbage that used to cost $80 now runs $250 then entry level at $300 makes more sense. The problem and I see this in a lot of youtube channels is, there is an assumption that we are all misers and we can afford to slap a credit card on the table and spend $600 to $1500 on a new graphics card every 3 years. We just don't want to. The reality is, most of can't. I 'wan't' to buy a 3080ti for$200. It isn't going to happen. AMD and nVidia can want me to pay $500 for a 3060 or a 6700. Can't always get what you want.
Whenever the 1630 ends up below the 1050, that means there's probably a memory bandwidth bottleneck, as the core clock speed should more than make up for the 128/8/16 less cores/ROPs/TMUs. It would be interesting to see how the Quadro T600 compares, as it's basically a turing 1050 with 4GBs of GDDR6.
As well as GTA 5 - also if you're going to test San Andreas, you might as well test the original release on lower end hardware (with higher settings) as that is what most people would have purchased - not the "definitive edition" which has higher system requirements.
Just bought a used 1050ti low profile for 120$ Canadian and I'm now wondering if it wasn't that great a price after all. Sadly I needed a LP version of the card and those seem to have a pretty big markup compared to the standard 1050tis.
I love my 1050ti 4GB stormx never had any issues with it apart from slight overclocking it a bit too much and it made windows unstable but after restoring after my silly idea, its been excellent for me runs all my games with good temps and performance...I was offered a 1650 version but it was not the right price and to be honest... it seemed the best builds at the time for budget was with the 1050ti.. best decision I made, I dont live in UK and it seemed the best price too I got it around £100 at time and that was before all this flu thing started and people started going insane lol
Wow... "some surprising results"? To be honest, what I saw was completely unsurprising. This basically proves that the 1630 is worse than a 1050Ti, with the only outlier being Cyberpunk 2077 (a demanding game which may not be as optimized for lower end hardware). The fact that a standard 1050 (non-Ti), with half the VRAM, sometimes outperforms the 1630 is a total disgrace by Nvidia with the launch of the 1630. Now I'm left thinking how well a standard 1050 (non-Ti) would compare to the 1630 if the 1050 had 4GB VRAM instead of 2GB. IMO, the 1630 should have been launched at half the MSRP and without a 6-pin power connector (so at least it would make sense for upgrading a SSF Dell Optiplex, or similar). Where it is currently, there's no point in getting one over a 1050Ti or 1060 (6GB recommended). Heck, even something like a 970 or 980 would probably match the 1630 for performance...
@@RS-nq8xk Which means it is better than a GTX 1630... I have no idea what type of customer the 1630 is aimed at... It's worse than a 1050Ti in games, and is too power hungry (and too expensive) to be used as a display adapter for multiple monitors (like the 710, 730 and 1030).
Thats what i am confused about.People say that 8 gb of VRAM is not sufficient in 2022 but hiw come cards with 2 gb ram still work?...I mean i know there is difference between low and highbut still.I guess what i mean is,what percentage of games require more than 8 gb for say 1440p high?
No, the vram matters quite a lot. Its just nvidia's memory compression is really good so even if you exceed the vram capacity your performance won't immediately tank. It'll take a slight dive. If the 1050 had its full 4gb of vram, it'd have been as good as the gtx 1630, if not a tiny bit better. Oh and of course, the mobile 1050 does have 4gb of vram, performs similar to the desktop variant AND uses only 50w. So, it'd even beat the 1630 in efficiency.
The 1050ti released in 2016, at £139/$139, and outperforms the 1630 released 6yrs later at $149... More competition in the GPU market from Intel can't come soon enough.
Some things to consider : 1. quantity of VRAM - either you have it or you don't . Some games require 4 GB VRAM even on 1080p low. If you have only 2 GB , then system RAM would be used which is much slower 2. speed of VRAM - difference between GDDR5 and GDDR6 is not that great, except in games that move around large textures like Cyberpunk 2077 . Thus 1630 actually wo in that game . 3. processing power - usually most important thing, 1050 Ti has clear advantage there and so advantage in most games . 1050 is not so far in this regard compared to 1630 . 4. Bandwidth - to notice the difference you would need to have more "rich" textures i.e. higher details . Perhaps testing 1050 Ti vs 1630 in 1080p high in Witcher 3 would show the difference between full and cut PCIe lanes.
The GTX 1630 is an insult really at the current price. It sits around the price of the Nvidia T600 which does give the GTX 1050 Ti a darn good run for the money, is a low profile card and does not require external power (50W TDP). Anything above 100 quid for this PoS is a joke. The real show stopper is the appallingly low bus width of 64 MB, the reason why it is sometimes struggling vs the 1050 non-Ti.
nVidia should've just went back to producing the 1650 and 1650 Super and adjusted the prices accordingly. They would've destroyed AMD's offerings and offer many other advantages over their AMD counterparts like the encoders. The tooling is already in place and they do have low profile 1650 cards.
Hey, mr random, can you please add r6s and csgo to your next benchmarks ? That would be awesome, and if you have time of course, can you make a video about the best budget card for 144fps competetive gaming ! The 1060 the 1650s the 6500xt the rx570 and what card make the best fps per euro/pound, regardless of the power consumption ! That would be amazing ! I can provide you with the 1060 6gb figures !! all you have to do, is follow the damn train CJ
The price of this card in the UK is a bad joke. £179 😱 I just got a sneaky rx 5500xt on ebay for £102 used. That was a lucky deal I know so I grabbed it. Those cards are only a couple of years old so a much better proposition than a new 1630. Even a new 1050 Ti is cheaper (used much cheaper of course). Money grabbing swines!
What about TDP?... 75 vs 30w for mid tier office boxes can mean no need for PSU and potential case swap. Lenovo sporting 1030 I built my daughter wont take 1050 without mods an 1630 is a yuge step up there.
It's as if AMD, nvidia and Intel all are vying for the award of "worst low end GPU ever" this year. AMD has everything below the Rx 6600, nvidia has the 3050, the mobile version and this turd; and then Intel's arc a380 on a platform without rebar, and basically every igpu of theirs, ever.
Ahh yes the Almigthy 1050ti i still use one to this day and is not a bad 900p/1080p card.. It's Dissapointing to say the least about the GTX 1630 doesn't do to bad but would expect better performance coming from Nvidia's Turing architechture seeing that were on Ampere now Nvidia could've allocated their recources better to something like a RTX 3040 would have like to seen how that would compare to a 6400xt
These results are so trash this kind of performance should be free for anyone. This is what I would expect from an iGPU of 2022. Now I know we're not there. But we should. Not even my R9 290X cut it anymore. I play quake champions with low preset at 1080p and 55% res scale and that card get drops down to 160fps and at times even more than that from a solid 300+ fps which is totally unplayable. You'll miss otherwise clean shots or LG fights as soon the framerate starts dropping. 1050 ti is probably half the performance of a R9 290X?
only use i see buyin' a GTX 1630 is if u have an extra PC for dedicated Streaming PC purposes on tha cheap and u just wanna stick in tha GPU without too much of a PSU upgrade just because tha GTX 1630 is a Touring GPU, which means u get access to New Nvenc for Touring and above
GTX in the 1630 is a joke not a gaming GPU. It's left over chips from turing they need to clear out. You pay same RRP as a GTX 1650 bloody joke. Not happy with them on this
Used 1050 t.i. finish about 75 quid on feEbay, 1630 pointless sku. RX 4/570 4gb also that price but not suitable for all situations the low watts 1050 t.i. is so we cant argue with that price. much.
What Nvidia had was a big bin of failed GTX1650 GPUs that they used some as professional cards/ mobile but they needed to clear the rest in the bin/warehouse so GTX1630 is born after all waste not want not, they just missed the crazy GPU pricing time had passed memo
Mate can you compare gtx 960 with gtx 1630 cause I’ve seen gtx 1050ti and gtx 960 are on par and this give a so hope that even gtx 960 could beat gtx 1630 some little margin or maybe lose a quite little margin
It is insane still with the 1050TI selling upwards of 200 euro/dollars in august 2022 ( for some models even over 220 euros). I paid 170 euro's in 2016 or 2017 which I thought was high then! You can get a 1650 for less now and even a 1660 super is on sale now for 199,99! ( the sale is only on one site and I am not sharing : ) )
That performance difference in cyberpunk nicely shows why nVidia drivers aren't open source. Imagine community prolonging the life of cars nVidia would rather see in dumps than in computers.
Still sporting a 1050ti because to this day it can only be beaten by an A2000 on its use cases.... and how big is the price gap to performance.... about 200USD? So is it worth it? The 1050ti it is
The way i see this card is that although it's capable of gaming, this is mainly targeted towards productivity, basically a low cost successor to the GT 1030, with modern architecture.

I would not pay $100 for a GTX 1650 new. The 1630 should have been called the 1610 for $90 and been a replacement for the GT 710. I think when they run out of damaged 1650 cores the 1630 will disappear the same way the Ryzen 3010 and 3300x did.
Essentially a "1050 super" in performance. I'm curious how ridiculous the pricing will be for Nvidia's future releases if this new low-end gpu is going for 200 usd 💀
New APUs are becoming better and better, while low-end cards are stagnating, they are basically useless.

@@Thor-pq6ul Just wait for the RTX 40 series to drop. Hopefully it's gonna drop by the end of this year or 1st half of the next year. What's gonna happen is that when RTX 40 series drops, all the previous series cards are gonna experience a massive drop in price and hence they're gonna become more affordable.
@@JamesNalacar not necessarily. we all thought this was going to happen last time around but it turned out the new cards msrps (or at least the price they were selling for) was higher than the 2000 series. and so the price of 2000 series stagnated while 3000 was released.

Ah, the mighty 1050 Ti. This makes me feel good about continuing to use one in my setup. Wouldn't mind buying a 1630 if it came down a lot in price just to have one.
Bought a used 1050ti back in 2018 for $80 that was from a mining rig to be used in my daughter's computer. Only spent 3 months in the mine and had a fan removed but still worked great. For what I paid it i couldn't be happier with the results. Also have a GTX 970 I bought from EVGA's B-stock on black Friday later that year. Paid $50 for it and have it as a backup incase my 1080 ever died.
Why would anyone use any of these cards? You'd have a better experience with an old XB360. This is not PC gaming.
Lol, the 1050ti was never "mighty", not even at launch.
The 1630 however is just a waste of sand.
@@ErraticPT GTX 1050 Ti is not mighty? Bruh that Card launched in 2016 and could handle most of its time's games at 60fps, high settings. It was indeed mighty. It can handle Doom 2016 at ultra, 80fps at 768p on my pc.
@@TheWarmotorFor the record, the Xbox 360 launched in 2005 and ran most games made for it at 30fps in 720p. These cards could run those same games at 1080p 60fps for the most part. This is just slander.
Nvidia always seems to launch some of the entry level cards which DOA in terms of performance what they offers as compare to their old previous GPUs and AMD offerings
GT 1030 has no NVENC, and the 16 series NVENC is based on the newer Volta-based, much better than Pascal.

Great card for it's price! I mean, both of'em 1050 and 1050Ti🤣
What we really needed Nvidia was a 1050Ti/1650 replacement around the £150 mark not a GT1030 replacement at £180 that performs worse than a £80 used 1050Ti great video as always but I’m lost with the 1630 🤷🏻♂️
This card replaces the 1050ti
If this card came out costing $70-100 it would be great, but it costs as much as the 1050ti did 6 years ago and gives WORSE performance. How is nobody saying anything about this? This is legitimately criminal
I think putting the 1630 up against a 1050 4GB variant would be worth its own video. Especially since the 1050 4 gig was released at a lower price in 2016 compared to the 1630 in 2022
Comparatively speaking in actual numbers, the 1050 4GB is an anomaly and extremely rare in the world of 1050 cards. If you polled a thousand (every model of) 1050 owners out there, 1050 2GB, 1050 4GB, 1050Ti... i'd be surprised if 5 of them had a 1050 4GB. 99.9% of people who wanted something a little faster than a 1050 just got the 1050Ti. Wouldn't be any real value to the vast, vast majority of gamers to do a 1050 4GB review other than Gee Whiz factor and people saying "I didn't even know a 1050 4GB existed" comments.
@@wolfshanze5980 True, although I do believe a lot of laptops shipped with the 1050 4 gig variant. Probably not as popular in the desktop space though
Thought GT 1630 is great until I saw that 6-pin connector. I'm surprised why that card needs power connector. I would buy GTX 1060 6GB or RX 580 8GB if I need a PCIe power connector.
Yeah exactly for that class of card it should be under 75 watts for sure.
Yeah the power connector was a bad idea
@@RandomGaminginHD yeah overall worse performance than a 1050ti, and also having a higher potential power draw. Than a 5 year old card... makes putting it in an office pc more difficult.

I was really excited for this card. Then it was released with an msrp of $150 and everyone I’ve seen for sale has been $200. Way too much for this card. My local computer store has gtx 1650s in stock for $209.
Buy used RX 570 for 90$ its 2x performance
1050ti is still a really good performing card at 1080p - my son was running one running games such as fortnite, rocket league, overwatch, fifa etc. on my old i5 4690k and all still run really well often 60+ fps depending on the settings/scenario
Yeah it still surprises me
The 1050Ti is still a really good performing card at 1080p games.... (here's the catch)... from many years ago... it's not really a solid performer on newer games at 1080p unless you consider 30fps "solid". It's fine if you just play older or non-demanding games... I wouldn't call it a modern 1080p card though. Not a hater, one of my systems still has a 1050Ti in it and it used to be my "flagship card" some years ago... just saying its time is/has passed.
@@wolfshanze5980 it still holds up well for esports games which is the vast majority of players
@@wabbajack8283 there's nothing wrong about the 1050Ti, though it is getting old... however, I really Really hate blanket statements out of the blue like "esport players are the VAST MAJORITY of gamers".
Really? Based on what statistical data from what source... or is it anecdotal evidence of "well my friends and I all play esport games so obviously that means the vast majority of gamers everywhere do too".
I just hate blanket statements without statistical data backing it up (hey, maybe it's true, I've just never heard that before).
The 1050Ti used to be my main card years ago, I have a soft spot for it, but basically it's only good for older games or esport on lower settings. (I'm rocking a 3070Ti these days).
I have a 1050ti and the only problem is the lack of VRAM, its constantly sitting at 100% VRAM usage and the main GPU is only at 60-80% usage. I still get a good 60fps in most games, but would be nice if there was a mod to increase the VRAM as it is the limiting factor
Just download more vram.
idk its looking more like cpu bottleneck
@@saksafann9813 No its sitting about 10-20% with RAM using about 8gb of 16, also most games are on a Samsung 980pro so shouldn't be a Storage problem either
Bruh for me it's like another way around. 4 GB is usually enough for high or medium texture quality but as for all of the other setting I need to lower these to low to get consistant fps
A mod to increase vram 🤣🤣
Some people painstakingly handle their cards on anti-static mats with wrist straps. This guy just lays them out on the grass 😆
The GTX 1050ti will probably be remembered as one of the all-time great graphics card values. It was very capable of playing games that came out between 2017 - 2019 while not being crazy expensive.
It can still play games up to last year
No it's RX 570 coming in same price range or cheaper with upto 40% more performance in some games..mostly 20% more.
The GTX 1050 Ti and the GTX 1060 6Gb are still incredible value for budget gamers nowadays... and the whole GTX 1000 series (Pascal architecture) were awesome. Even the 1080 Ti is still a great option. It stands between the RTX 2070 and RTX 3060Ti in rasterization performance (depending of the game off course).
@@xtechtips152 Probably both at the same time.
@@yan3066 The 1080 Ti is the 8800 GT of the 2010s, for sure.

@@lewzealand4717 yeah both are great
This is actually sad coming from nvidia. Pricing it over 100 is not ideal for a card like this. It should be named as a GT 1630 instead of GTX. Can't believe its been beat by a 6 year old card!
My EVGA GTX 760 SC beats a brand new gpu that costs over twice what the 760 goes for on the used market
Sad
I still can't figure out why the 1630 exists??🤣😂😂😂. I think the guys were preparing to launch ka 1030 ti then mistakenly changed the name to 1630
So, my laptop 1050 with its 4gb of vram is as good as the gtx 1630? Truly amazing times, especially since I've got a much worse i5 7300hq at 3.1ghz.
All games averaged in case anyone was wondering:
GTX 1630 - 52 FPS
GTX 1050 Ti - 58 FPS
GTX 1050 - 49 FPS
So long and short of it is that the 1630 is worse than a 1050Ti, and not far off the 1050 non-Ti performance. I really do wonder what the latter would be like if it was a 4GB card, and not a 2GB card.
I use a basic 1050 daily, honestly its perfectly acceptable as a daily user with light gaming... it will breathe new life into your old pc, civ 5... cs go... arma 2/ day z etc will run with no issues
You think it would be sufficient with 3D Autocad rendering ?
An gt1030dd5 is enough for your games buddy. Gtx1050 is comfortably playing newest aaa games at low 1080p.

I disagree, but will not elaborate.
I know it's cynical but I don't expect 1630's or 6400's or even 6500's to have any amounts ever being in stock. Neither AMD or nVidia actually want to sell these things. They just want to enforce new price points on future graphics cards across the board. If garbage that used to cost $80 now runs $250 then entry level at $300 makes more sense.
The problem and I see this in a lot of youtube channels is, there is an assumption that we are all misers and we can afford to slap a credit card on the table and spend $600 to $1500 on a new graphics card every 3 years. We just don't want to. The reality is, most of can't. I 'wan't' to buy a 3080ti for$200. It isn't going to happen. AMD and nVidia can want me to pay $500 for a 3060 or a 6700. Can't always get what you want.

the new gt 1030
but to be fair gt 1030 was ok in 2017
Whenever the 1630 ends up below the 1050, that means there's probably a memory bandwidth bottleneck, as the core clock speed should more than make up for the 128/8/16 less cores/ROPs/TMUs.
It would be interesting to see how the Quadro T600 compares, as it's basically a turing 1050 with 4GBs of GDDR6.
Please add a few more games like GoW, Days Gone & AC Valhalla into the benchmark....btw nice video👍
As well as GTA 5 - also if you're going to test San Andreas, you might as well test the original release on lower end hardware (with higher settings) as that is what most people would have purchased - not the "definitive edition" which has higher system requirements.
I remember people saying the 1050ti was criminally overpriced at it's debut. Apparently Nvidia saw that and thought "Challenge accepted"... 😅😅😅
Just bought a used 1050ti low profile for 120$ Canadian and I'm now wondering if it wasn't that great a price after all. Sadly I needed a LP version of the card and those seem to have a pretty big markup compared to the standard 1050tis.
I love my 1050ti 4GB stormx never had any issues with it apart from slight overclocking it a bit too much and it made windows unstable but after restoring after my silly idea, its been excellent for me runs all my games with good temps and performance...I was offered a 1650 version but it was not the right price and to be honest... it seemed the best builds at the time for budget was with the 1050ti.. best decision I made, I dont live in UK and it seemed the best price too I got it around £100 at time and that was before all this flu thing started and people started going insane lol
well done with the face in the thumbnail lad
Wow... "some surprising results"? To be honest, what I saw was completely unsurprising.
This basically proves that the 1630 is worse than a 1050Ti, with the only outlier being Cyberpunk 2077 (a demanding game which may not be as optimized for lower end hardware). The fact that a standard 1050 (non-Ti), with half the VRAM, sometimes outperforms the 1630 is a total disgrace by Nvidia with the launch of the 1630. Now I'm left thinking how well a standard 1050 (non-Ti) would compare to the 1630 if the 1050 had 4GB VRAM instead of 2GB.
IMO, the 1630 should have been launched at half the MSRP and without a 6-pin power connector (so at least it would make sense for upgrading a SSF Dell Optiplex, or similar). Where it is currently, there's no point in getting one over a 1050Ti or 1060 (6GB recommended). Heck, even something like a 970 or 980 would probably match the 1630 for performance...
970 is at least around a 1650 though. Haha
@@RS-nq8xk Which means it is better than a GTX 1630...
I have no idea what type of customer the 1630 is aimed at... It's worse than a 1050Ti in games, and is too power hungry (and too expensive) to be used as a display adapter for multiple monitors (like the 710, 730 and 1030).

GTX 1630 is a stupid money-grabbing scam by Nvidia. Period. There's nothing more to say about it.
I believe the strong point of the 1630 will be the price if it drops.
It needs to be around 100€ for that though.
No, the vram matters quite a lot. Its just nvidia's memory compression is really good so even if you exceed the vram capacity your performance won't immediately tank. It'll take a slight dive.
If the 1050 had its full 4gb of vram, it'd have been as good as the gtx 1630, if not a tiny bit better.
Oh and of course, the mobile 1050 does have 4gb of vram, performs similar to the desktop variant AND uses only 50w. So, it'd even beat the 1630 in efficiency.
Mobile 1030 has 4 GB of Vram also.

Considering just how old the GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 are, it really shows just how pathetic the GTX 1630 truly is.
The 1050ti released in 2016, at £139/$139, and outperforms the 1630 released 6yrs later at $149... More competition in the GPU market from Intel can't come soon enough.
In the days of silicon shortage Nvidia is still wasting more silicon 😤 What a waste of silicon is this GTX 1630 is!!!!!!!
You know NVIDIA dun goofed when the 1050 Ti offers much value compared to 1630.
there all crap.....lol always were...70,80 series only...amazing then,really good now still...
For the same price of the 1630 you van get a GTX 960/970/980 bit a couple hundred bucks more gives you a 1080/1080 ti and with luck 11GB of ram
Some things to consider : 1. quantity of VRAM - either you have it or you don't . Some games require 4 GB VRAM even on 1080p low. If you have only 2 GB , then system RAM would be used which is much slower 2. speed of VRAM - difference between GDDR5 and GDDR6 is not that great, except in games that move around large textures like Cyberpunk 2077 . Thus 1630 actually wo in that game . 3. processing power - usually most important thing, 1050 Ti has clear advantage there and so advantage in most games . 1050 is not so far in this regard compared to 1630 . 4. Bandwidth - to notice the difference you would need to have more "rich" textures i.e. higher details . Perhaps testing 1050 Ti vs 1630 in 1080p high in Witcher 3 would show the difference between full and cut PCIe lanes.
So it's a GTX 1050 with GTX 1050 TI VRAM and priced like a GTX 1060. Nvidia really going that extra mile these days, eh?
The only GTX 1630 I can find is at Scan for £179. I picked up my GTX 1050 used for £74. The cost of the 1630 is ridiculous.
The GTX 1630 is an insult really at the current price. It sits around the price of the Nvidia T600 which does give the GTX 1050 Ti a darn good run for the money, is a low profile card and does not require external power (50W TDP). Anything above 100 quid for this PoS is a joke.
The real show stopper is the appallingly low bus width of 64 MB, the reason why it is sometimes struggling vs the 1050 non-Ti.
nVidia should've just went back to producing the 1650 and 1650 Super and adjusted the prices accordingly. They would've destroyed AMD's offerings and offer many other advantages over their AMD counterparts like the encoders. The tooling is already in place and they do have low profile 1650 cards.
Hey, mr random, can you please add r6s and csgo to your next benchmarks ? That would be awesome, and if you have time of course, can you make a video about the best budget card for 144fps competetive gaming ! The 1060 the 1650s the 6500xt the rx570 and what card make the best fps per euro/pound, regardless of the power consumption ! That would be amazing ! I can provide you with the 1060 6gb figures !! all you have to do, is follow the damn train CJ
The price of this card in the UK is a bad joke. £179 😱 I just got a sneaky rx 5500xt on ebay for £102 used. That was a lucky deal I know so I grabbed it. Those cards are only a couple of years old so a much better proposition than a new 1630. Even a new 1050 Ti is cheaper (used much cheaper of course). Money grabbing swines!
What about TDP?... 75 vs 30w for mid tier office boxes can mean no need for PSU and potential case swap. Lenovo sporting 1030 I built my daughter wont take 1050 without mods an 1630 is a yuge step up there.
It's as if AMD, nvidia and Intel all are vying for the award of "worst low end GPU ever" this year. AMD has everything below the Rx 6600, nvidia has the 3050, the mobile version and this turd; and then Intel's arc a380 on a platform without rebar, and basically every igpu of theirs, ever.
Ahh yes the Almigthy 1050ti i still use one to this day and is not a bad 900p/1080p card.. It's Dissapointing to say the least about the GTX 1630 doesn't do to bad but would expect better performance coming from Nvidia's Turing architechture seeing that were on Ampere now
Nvidia could've allocated their recources better to something like a RTX 3040 would have like to seen how that would compare to a 6400xt
These results are so trash this kind of performance should be free for anyone. This is what I would expect from an iGPU of 2022. Now I know we're not there. But we should.
Not even my R9 290X cut it anymore. I play quake champions with low preset at 1080p and 55% res scale and that card get drops down to 160fps and at times even more than that from a solid 300+ fps which is totally unplayable. You'll miss otherwise clean shots or LG fights as soon the framerate starts dropping. 1050 ti is probably half the performance of a R9 290X?
Another interesting video! Any chance we could get 'RandomGaminginQHD' sometime soon?
only use i see buyin' a GTX 1630 is if u have an extra PC for dedicated Streaming PC purposes on tha cheap and u just wanna stick in tha GPU without too much of a PSU upgrade just because tha GTX 1630 is a Touring GPU, which means u get access to New Nvenc for Touring and above
GTX in the 1630 is a joke not a gaming GPU. It's left over chips from turing they need to clear out. You pay same RRP as a GTX 1650 bloody joke. Not happy with them on this

Mate can you compare gtx 960 with gtx 1630 cause I’ve seen gtx 1050ti and gtx 960 are on par and this give a so hope that even gtx 960 could beat gtx 1630 some little margin or maybe lose a quite little margin
It is insane still with the 1050TI selling upwards of 200 euro/dollars in august 2022 ( for some models even over 220 euros). I paid 170 euro's in 2016 or 2017 which I thought was high then!
You can get a 1650 for less now and even a 1660 super is on sale now for 199,99! ( the sale is only on one site and I am not sharing : ) )
512 cuda can’t beat 768 cuda pascal
Turing 2560 cuda 2070 super also can’t beat 3584 cuda pascal 1080ti
That performance difference in cyberpunk nicely shows why nVidia drivers aren't open source. Imagine community prolonging the life of cars nVidia would rather see in dumps than in computers.
The GTX 1630 should perform better than a 1050 ti. It should be way cheaper
Still sporting a 1050ti because to this day it can only be beaten by an A2000 on its use cases.... and how big is the price gap to performance.... about 200USD? So is it worth it? The 1050ti it is
There's my beautiful graphics card, the 1050-Ti ❤
The price on the 1630 is a joke. Get a 2nd hand GTX 1050 Ti for less than half, if you need this kind of low power (no PCI-E cable) GPU.
Basically this just confirmed what we already knew, which is that the 1630 is completely pointless.
No need to compare these, sure better gtx 1050ti, all you need to compare is gtx 1050 vs rx 6500, is it worth for upgrade?
The way i see this card is that although it's capable of gaming, this is mainly targeted towards productivity, basically a low cost successor to the GT 1030, with modern architecture.
The 6500xt doesn't look a.bad deal now..even using PCI gen 3 it performs alot better
AMD: 6500XT is the worst GPU release of the year.
Nvidia: hold my beer.
1630 is one of the worst cards yet. Nvidia really wanted to take that crown from RX6400 badly.
The GTX 1630 should have been named the GT 1630, and it's price new is plain insulting.
i snatched a gtx 1650 gddr6 model off newegg a few months ago for $149 open box it was a superbargain compared to that 1630
These cards have me mentally weak. Thx 1630 and rx6400. Like wtf is going on lol
