About NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 TU106
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 TU106 is a discrete graphics card built on the Turing architecture, fabricated on TSMC's 12 nm process. It ships with 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 192.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card occupies the 50th percentile in the benchmark database's overall GPU ranking, indicating a midpoint performance position. With a base clock of 1410 MHz and a boost clock of 1590 MHz, the card's 896 shading units yield a peak FP32 throughput of 2.849 TFLOPS. The die contains 10,800 million transistors across a 445 mm² area, resulting in a transistor density of 24.3M / mm². Released on 2020-06-17, the card is now end-of-life, and it sits within the GeForce 16 generation, between the GeForce 10 and GeForce 20 series.
How It Compares
The dataset for this card does not include nearest rival entries, so positional analysis relies on the global percentile and the product lineage. The 50th percentile placement means the card sits exactly at the median of all GPUs tracked in the database. This indicates that half of the GPUs in the database deliver higher benchmark scores, while half deliver lower scores. This median position is a critical data point, as it places the card in the middle of the performance distribution rather than at either extreme. The card is classified under the GeForce 16 generation, which places it between the GeForce 10 and GeForce 20 series in NVIDIA's product roadmap. As a successor to the GeForce 10 series and a predecessor to the GeForce 20 series, it inherits the Turing architecture but omits the dedicated hardware features found in the higher-tier GeForce 20 parts. The absence of nearest rival data means that direct percentage deltas against specific competitors cannot be derived from this dataset. However, the 50th percentile provides a clear reference point for its standing relative to the broader GPU market. The card's 90 W TDP and 4 GB memory configuration suggest a power-efficient design, which is consistent with its mid-range positioning. The TU106 chip itself is a large die at 445 mm², but the card is configured with 896 shading units, indicating a significant degree of chip harvesting or binning. The 24.3M / mm² transistor density reflects the 12 nm process, and the 10,800 million transistor count places it in a specific tier of complexity.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The FACT PACK lists RT cores as null and tensor cores as null, confirming that this card lacks dedicated ray tracing and tensor processing hardware. Consequently, any ray tracing workload would have to be executed via general-purpose compute shaders, which is significantly less efficient than using dedicated RT cores. The card does support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), a feature set that typically includes ray tracing and variable rate shading. However, without RT cores, the hardware cannot accelerate these features natively. The FP16 throughput is 5.699 TFLOPS, which is exactly double the FP32 rate of 2.849 TFLOPS, indicating a 2:1 FP16 ratio. This can benefit certain compute applications that utilize half-precision arithmetic, but it does not compensate for the lack of tensor cores. The card also supports OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4, ensuring broad API compatibility for modern titles and applications. The absence of tensor cores also means that AI-accelerated features such as DLSS are not supported by dedicated hardware, though the card can still run such workloads via compute shaders at reduced efficiency. The 2:1 FP16 ratio is a notable architectural trait, as it allows the card to double its throughput in half-precision scenarios, but this does not translate to ray tracing acceleration.
Benchmark Performance
The benchmark array for this card is empty, so no direct benchmark scores are available in the dataset. However, the theoretical performance metrics provide a basis for analysis. The FP32 compute rate is 2.849 TFLOPS, which is derived from 896 shading units running at the boost clock of 1590 MHz. The pixel fill rate is 50.88 GPixel/s, calculated from 32 ROPs. The texture fill rate is 89.04 GTexel/s, derived from 56 TMUs. The memory subsystem consists of 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s. The memory clock is listed as 1500 MHz, with 12 Gbps effective data rate. The 2:1 FP16 ratio means that half-precision workloads can achieve up to 5.699 TFLOPS. The card's 50th percentile ranking suggests that its overall benchmark performance aligns with the median of the database's GPU population. Without specific rival deltas, the data cannot confirm precise percentage advantages or disadvantages against named competitors. The 4 GB memory capacity is a notable constraint for modern high-resolution textures, but the 192.0 GB/s bandwidth provides a balanced throughput for the card's compute capabilities. The pixel rate of 50.88 GPixel/s and texture rate of 89.04 GTexel/s indicate a balanced rasterization pipeline, with a ratio of roughly 1.75 texture operations per pixel operation. The 896 shading units, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs form a configuration that is typical for a mid-range card, and the 2.849 TFLOPS FP32 figure places it in a specific performance tier. The boost clock of 1590 MHz is 180 MHz higher than the base clock of 1410 MHz, representing a 12.8% boost margin, which is a modest headroom for thermal and power management. The 192.0 GB/s bandwidth, when paired with the 4 GB frame buffer, suggests that the card is designed for 1080p-class workloads, though the data does not specify resolution targets.

Power and Cooling
The card has a TDP of 90 W, which is a modest power requirement for a discrete GPU. It requires a single 6-pin power connector for operation. The suggested PSU rating is 250 W, indicating that a low-capacity power supply is sufficient for this card. The card is a dual-slot design, with dimensions of 229 mm (9 inches) in length, 111 mm (4.4 inches) in height, and 35 mm (1.4 inches) in width. It connects to the motherboard via a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. The production status is listed as end-of-life, and the release date is 2020-06-17. The cooling solution is not specified in the dataset, but the dual-slot form factor and 90 W TDP suggest a capable air cooler is required to manage thermals. The 90 W TDP is notably low, which allows for a compact cooling solution and minimal power draw from the system. The single 6-pin connector is a standard requirement, and the 250 W PSU recommendation ensures that even entry-level power supplies can accommodate this card. The dual-slot width indicates that the cooler likely extends beyond a single slot, providing adequate surface area for heat dissipation given the 90 W thermal envelope.
