Best GPU for the price

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020

The MSI GEFORCE GTX 1650 is an amazing Graphics card. It has so money unique qualities like an rgb light at the front with the logo and also has a bigger version of their logo on the bottom (it’s actually on the top, because the fans point downward) of the GPU. The white dragon logo looks so sick also. The graphics in game are amazing and very smooth whilst being clean and no spikes at all! I used this GPU with my first ever gaming pc build, as you can see by the pictures, and it works fantastic, you are able to overclock the gpu itself and it works even better performance wise. It is very easy to install into your Mobo and looks very sharp inside the case too. It’s very quiet and when you aren’t using the gpu to run any kind of game, or program that doesn’t require the gpu to be needed to run, the fans don’t come on because they don’t need to. The fans will only come on when your pc needs them to come on. If you are watching a video online it’s really quiet because the gpu isn’t running the full power it can. Even with the gpu fans and all running, it still is a very quiet card. The only things I can hear from my pc are the six fans that I have on the case itself. And they are really quiet as well. All-in-all this product is definitely a great gpu and is perfect for a budget gaming build like me. This gpu can run any game you throw it’s way, wether it’s mortal combat, Gta 5, FiveM, CSGO, or even Destiny 2, with high settings, if you have the right setup. MSI is definitely a trusted brand and a great company as well, the box that this product came in was so nice and the packaging was durable, yet very sleek and you should definitely buy this if you have the money. I’m definitely going to be buying more stuff from this brand.

msi claims to have imroved, I don't see it

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2019

The card is awesome, all Nvidia GeForce cards are. But the customer service from msi was horrible. I ordered the item searching for a small form factor 4g card, it was #7 on the search and listed with other msi cards. This card is not repeat not small form factor. That's ok, I have more than one pc, and was going to use the card in another unit. It was then that I noticed that nothing came in the box except the video card and a guide book that was packed in a pretty msi envelope. I attempted to contact msi by their handy app, attempted by website, attempted by call to customer service, and a couple of attempted calls to msi corporate office. All got me wonderful referral to try one of the others, but no contact with msi. I then contacted Amazon, who gave me a direct msi email contact, who answered by email almost immediately. But, the exact response from msi regarding misadvertising the card and missing drivers and cables, "contact Nvidia for downloading drivers". I'm sorry, but I paid you almost $200 dollars for a product. It is not someone else's responsibility to correct your failure to provide in full what I paid for. As far as I am concerned, msi is not worthy of being called a legitimate business entity.

This is 1000% better than what I had

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

I had an AMD card that came with my "gaming computer" and it was made in like 2015/16 and needless to say I had the computer about 2 months before I got a lovely green screen and it kept saying can't load GPU. I tried to update the graphics and well the card sucked. So my friend Jason and I were on the hunt for a new video card. I prefer Nvidia cards over AMD and have for over 2 decades now. We looked at several options compared cards, prices, options. There was the card he has that was made in 2016 then this one. This card is a beast. Since I use my computer to not only game but to live stream gaming and video content, I also edit YouTube videos and live stream on YouTube as well. This card is amazing and 1000 % better than what I had. It was super easy to install and I love it had little "hats" over all of the ports and edges so as to not allow dust or fingerprints on the green board. The listing does say it comes with an Install cd which is does not. They need to edit their listing as it is misleading.

How to install, make sure your computer is turned off, install the card, then turn it on. Once your pc loads go to your control panel and click Hardware and Sound then click Device manager, use the search feature on there to "find" your new equipment if it did not pop up as the plug and play feature when you turn your machine on. Once you find it, it will ask if you want to install the best drivers, it will do the rest for you. No install CD necessary. Super easy to install, super easy to set up, works amazing!

Home Theater / Spare gaming PC for guests

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

I found spare parts lying around and pieced together a build with this and a Ryzen R5 1600 on a B350 motherboard. Powering this is a 500w power supply. I initially was going to buy a GAMING X GTX 1050 Ti, but this is cheaper and will perform a little better with games

Back to the video card.
TDP is fairly low compared to AMD alternatives at this price point. However the RX 570 would do better in gaming but draws more power.

This card is fairly cool and even after playing APEX LEGENDS for 5 hours straight this card did not go over 60C. (I do have a fairly big case with good airflow, so your miles may vary).

With regards to looks, you'll love it or hate it. The shroud is a gunmetalish gray/silver. A good color that can blend in with any build. I DO NOT LIKE THE PCB's look though. I know this is a "cheaper" card with no faceplate and that is fine. But they printed the MSI DRAGON on the PCB in the corner of this card. I mean if you like that it is fine, but for me it's an eyesore to see that printed in white onthe corner of a PCB. Anyways it is what it is and I can always just choose not to look at it so that's fine.

After testing I've determined this card will serve well for a spare gaming PC. If you're on a budget this will serve you well if you need to "go green" or want to have a cooler card with a lower power draw. If all you want is RAW GAMING POWER at a budget I'd recommend looking for a good deal on AMD RX 570/580.

GeForce GTX 1650. Great bargain priced gaming card

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2020

I waited years for Red Dead Redemption 2 to come to PC. When it finally did I was disappointed to find that my GTX 960 graphics card would only run the game at the very lowest settings. A title known for its beauty looked pretty awful. This card changed things dramatically at a very reasonable price. It’s now everything I had heard it was and I get butter smooth 40 to 50 FPS. Not the best I know but for the price I am very pleased. I would recommend it to anyone who can’t or won’t pay for the high end cards.

Good Buy

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

ok i was looking for the best of the best on the cheat to play all the modern games. My husband is a pc builder but will describe it in the easiest way possible.
Specs first . CPU i5-9600K Unlocked, 16 GB of Ram, regular sata 40 bucks 1 TB hard drive from WD, Z390 AORUS ELITE(rev 1.0) and last the MSI GTX 1650.

Basically on the lower budget build but all new part gave us all new title games on high with 1 setup and high with 1 or 2 things turned off.
No matter what the data says on paper or these app monitors you have showing Frams-Per-Second
The fact is it plays Ark survival a very demanding ram and graphic hog game, Fortnite, Call of Duty-Warfare, and Battle field 5 all with everything turned up and no hick ups. Turn 1 thing or 2 down for more FPS optional at 16 Gigs of Ram.

Set up 2 is My husband put 32 GB of Ram before splitting it with other pc just to test the new GTX 1650 at its finest and just like always proves more ram equals better gaming. All setting in every game at highest nothing turned down , no glitch no stutter, smooth sailing.

Its was a great Buy, would recommend to all. Just add more Ram than needed from recommended spec games the ultra sweet spot is 32gigs, ebay Ram $114 (32GB Kit) to G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) at $139.99 as of 1/10/20 Add a GTX 1650 and CPU 4 cores and higher ( I5-9600k cheap 6 Cores 6 Threads ) and there would be no game you cant handle

Just what my photography software need

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

Recently started using AI software for some of my photos. The software taxed the original graphics card so it took forever to show the AI manipulated photo or it came out all black. Software techperson said it was the old graphics card and an upgrade was needed for the AI. My computer guy recommended this when told about the issue and it works like a charm. It's in a ThinkCentre M93p (the big box), but because of the MSI GEForce's size and motherboard pins for the PC's from USB3's they had to be disconnected.But everything, other than the USB's in the case's front, works great!

Great card, good performance and good value

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2020

This is an awesome card for the value! The fans stop when not needed, and are still very quiet once they do start spinning. The added backplate and lit up MSI logo add a nice look to the center of my MOBO. I upgraded from an older card and can now play some of the latest games on high or Ultra settings no problem. I definitely recommend this card.

Not a bad card for a beginner or someone on a budget

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

I used to lease my GPU's from CuttingEdgeGamer, but I am going to returning my card from them to save some money in the long run and I cannot afford a super fancy card right now, so I needed something temporary. Meet the GTX 1650: kind of like The Little Engine that Could. Sure, this card won't blow your socks off with 60+ FPS on every game, but if you aren't needing or expecting that then I believe this card is a pretty good choice for either people on a tight budget or people who only play some older titles. I took a star off because I believe this card should be 15 or 20 dollars cheaper. I think it's a good value, but if they dropped the price a bit it would really be worth it. The biggest pro is that it runs cool and quiet. Even at full load for a while it doesn't really go above 60c and it draws very little power. It runs most of my games at high settings ~45 - 60 FPS and I haven't had any issues with it. I recommend this card if you are the right audience for it.

Great Card Only 1 Hiccup

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

I received my card on Monday (12/16/2019) and it works amazing! It runs all my favorite games at the highest graphic settings at 50-60 FPS, some games such as fortnite and cities skylines are still running 45-60 FPS at high settings (not the highest, but just below very high or sometimes known as "ultra". It has amazing performance, even under complete load didn't surpass 65 degrees C, which is warm, not hot (70-80 degrees C) and not even close to overheating (90+ degrees C).

Amazing card overall, it was just very tedious to get the card working. It originally put me into a BSOD booting loop until I took the card out of my PC booted into windows normally, and used a third-party program to completely remove all traces of graphic drives so I could boot up with my new card and have windows automatically install all drivers without conflict of additional programs and data.
