Yes, it's QUIET!
First, to everybody saying that this card is "loud," I disagree. Maybe you got a bad one? Mine is super quiet. Second, if you're like me, and you just bought a new 2022 HP or a Dell (in my case the HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2000i) with tons of RAM and a super-fast 11th gen Intel processor and an SSD and were very excited until you popped the hood and realized that the power supply (PSU) is proprietary, has no available power cables, and doesn't pack enough power to run your dedicated video card even if it did, this is your ONLY cost-efficient solution. The Intel 750 UHD that came with my new HP computer is awful. I score in the mid 20th percentile on 2D and 3D tests using Performance Test 10.1 even with the 11th gen processor and 64GB of RAM. I need a dedicated GPU for video editing, and the Zotac is one of a few reasonable solutions because it's compact and fits in the small space available (see photo) and does NOT require external power. It works great with the 310-watt PSU in my HP even though it says it requires around 375 watts. Not a problem. Best part is that I'm now getting close to the 60th percentile on 2D and 3D tests using Performance Test, which is a massive upgrade over the integrated Intel UHD 750. I don't game hardly at all, but according to "Can I Run It?", I could, if I wanted to, play 96 out of the top 100 games. With 4GB of fast onboard RAM, I'll be able to do what I need to do in the way of video editing. What a relief. I should have done more research on the computer I bought it, but at least I can do what I need to do now.

Paired with Old AMD FX 8310 CPU overclocked to 3.8GHZ
Ok, this version does not use a pcie port to power, i put that away snuggly. It just sits in the slot period.for some reason this version of this video card DDR6 vs DDR5 has gone up past the boosted 1620 rating all the way to 1950mhz and that is daily. Maybe I have a better card than most or maybe that what they do.I have an 8310 amd processor 8 cores default 3.4 ghz havent tried the card at that speed with this gpu. Only overclocked at 3.8ghz. I have 16 gb or ram.. so 3.8ghz 16gb ram and this video card. I play back for blood ... aka Left for dead 3 on 1920 by 1080 settings and it plays fine, no stutter no issue. If you set the video for anything less than that. the game doesnt play smooth because the processor is old and not fast enough for the game or the video card. So if you have an old system like I do. Make your gpu do most of the work by playing at your native gpu monitor settings.. let the video card absorb the graphics since it has 4gb and let your old processor push the gpu along. The gpu is quiet it works. Its faster than what is advertised. this is the 128bit 4gb 192GB.......... per second updated video card 896 cuda cores.. the normal gtx 1650 is 128 bit 4gb 128GB....... per second 896 cuda cores.. So this gpu has faster memory and can handle more megabytes per second and it seems to be just as fast as faster than the super version.. If this video card last. This is a deal. I paid 325 for this video card in 2021. New.. It use to cost half the price but there is a gpu shortage in the world.. Currently ... I have had this card exactly two weeks. I prefere EVGA products but I have noticed Zotac around for years and years and havent heard anything bad about it. Stable using Aida Extreme. Currently at idle posting this review it says this gpu is using 32.63watts.. My old gtx 460.. yes 460 I think uses as much as 170 watts. I think they said this gpu uses max 75 watts.. I am happy with this gpu. Not the price, but the gpu .. If you have a ryzen cpu 6 core or better and 16gb of ram you will fly through many games, using this video card. This is an FX 8310 CPU that I am using has 8 cores stock3.4 overclocked to 3.8.. I didnt overclock to 4.0 if I didnt need to. Apparently I dont need to...That means with the gpu I can play many games.. Back For Blood was released this year I believe in October 2021 ... I am playing an updated brand new game in 2021 with a cpu that came out in 2014 all old equipment asrock 970m pro 3 , ddr3 gskill memory, zotac 1650 ddr6 version and a samsung 970 ssd drive. Go on youtube and type the type of cpu you have and video card you want and see what games people are able to play using what you have. if you have phenom then type that and the game you want. if you have fx 8350 ... type that and the game that you want.... the video card will work for many games. You just need to make sure your cpu is also strong enough to not bottleneck your game play as much , so everything will be smooth

Powerhouse GPU for the money $$$
This card is awesome and fits in most systems and doesn't require extra power connector. great bang for buck. Runs most games on ultra or high 100-60fps no problems depending on system … highly recommend this card for someone who wants to game on a budget. Yes there are better cards out there but don't listen to the negative reviews this card is excellent.

Works really well even in 2021 and no PSU needed. (PSU = power supply unit)
Power:This is a fairly powerful GPU but it's old. Can easily run 1080p but not the best choice as it doesn't use too much power. On that note, NO PSU CORD NEEDED. It takes all its power from the motherboard and nothing else. It also only has 4GB VRM so don't try pushing too hard.Ports:This card has HDMI, DVI-D, and DisplayPort. (One of each)Overall:It works really well as I am still using it today in 2021 and can still play most AAA games but I can't really prove it as I am a casual gamer and have only a hardrive so can't play Warzone too well and only run an Intel i5-4440 CPU but I'm building a new pc soon so will update. It's really quiet for my use case and is "overclock ready" (never tried). So overall it's a good budget GPU but wouldn't recommend if you have $500 as there are most definitely better options but in this economy and chip shortage its a good lower power and quiet alternative for now. (wouldn't recommend as there are most definitely better/more powerful options)

Worked well for the reasons I got it
I bought this pc around 2 years ago with no knowledge about anything because I really wanted to mod Minecraft. And honestly it worked fine at the time for the games I was playing but once you get a pc you start to want more diverse games. Right now I am playing Elden ring and it works fine for the most part but sometimes things will just crash. Now I am working on building my own pc but I would say it did what I wanted at the time I bought it just don’t expect it to evolve with you and your tastes. Overall I’m having a lot of fun picking parts for a custom pc but obviously no everyone can spend 1000$ or wants to put in the work to do that so I would say this pc is good for your basic games out there like Minecraft, Stardew valley, or sims or smt

Works amazingly
This is my first decently high end graphics card, and it works like a charm, it stays with cool temps, gives you 160 fps on most games, and around 80 on new ones, it’s small and compact and perfect for mini pc builds too

import tax
great graphics card. I'm getting over a hundred fps now. just don't forget customs and excise might chuck £100 on it because of the price of chips at the mo.

Install in less than 5 minutes.
Easy installation and set up work flawlessly.Could use some better branding that it's a low profile card. But very happy I made that mistake. Would recommend for new builds

Faulty card
The product arrived in a timely manner but fortunately it was faulty . We attempted to install ourselves but could not get a display on the monitor so sought advice from an IT professional who said the beeping noise on the pc once the card was installed is the sound of a hardware fault and it doesn’t happen when we put the old card in .
