A leaked slide suggests Acer is about to release some gaming laptops which run with GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1650 mobile graphics cards. This is, of course, further potential evidence that a GeForce GTX 1650 exists in the first place, as the GPU hasn’t yet been confirmed by Nvidia – unlike the GTX 1660 Ti, which has, of course, already been released (although there’s no mobile version yet). However, there have already been several leaks regarding the allegedly incoming 1650, which will be the lowest-end Turing offering – and this certainly backs up those leaks (assuming the slide in question isn’t some kind of elaborate fake). AMD Vega II better step up with some affordable models soon Here’s all the latest news on Nvidia’s Turing graphics cards We pick out the best processors of 2019 The slide (highlighted by Videocardz) is purported to be from an Acer presentation, and it shows the core specs of a few Nitro gaming notebooks, including the fact that they run with Intel’s 9th-gen Coffee Lake H series processors, and GPU options that include the GTX 1660 Ti, GTX 1650, and GTX 1050 (the latter being a previous-generation GPU). ITHome initially spotted the slide, although has since taken it down, with Videocardz subsequently highlighting its existence (Image credit: ITHome/Videocardz) Benchmarks aplenty We've previously seen a leaked 3DMark benchmark allegedly from a notebook running the mobile spin on the GTX 1650, and a purported Final Fantasy XV benchmark for the desktop version of the GPU, which showed it was faster than AMD’s Radeon RX 570. The GTX 1650 is expected to have a base clock of 1,395MHz, with 4GB of GDDR5 video memory, again according to the rumor mill. We're expecting to see this GPU released at some point in April, with speculation pointing to April 22 as a potential launch date. As for the incoming Acer laptops, these apparently include 15-inch and 17-inch Nitro models which will have super-slim (7mm – at least down the sides) bezels, as well as an option on a display with a 144Hz refresh rate (and a Full HD resolution). These are the best graphics cards of 2019 Via Hexus<doc-sep>We’ve seen a whole host of rumors about an allegedly incoming GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card from Nvidia in recent times, including multiple sightings in leaked laptop specs, and now there’s further (more compelling) evidence in the form of leaked product shots. Videocardz highlighted leaked photos of GTX 1650 models from Zotac, Palit and Gainward – the latter two coming from Roland Quandt, with the images showing the product box and actual video card – with an extra nugget of compelling information therein. Specifically, the GTX 1650 doesn’t have a power connector. In other words, its power usage is low enough so that it can simply be plugged into the GPU slot and work fine, without having to be hooked up to get extra juice from your PC’s power supply. As Videocardz observes, this confirms that the Turing TU117 GPU which this card is allegedly based on will have a TDP of under 75W. The Zotac OC Edition (meaning overclocked edition) card is a compact Mini-ITX affair with a single fan, which takes up two slots, and the box clearly shows that it has 4GB of GDDR5 video memory, as was previously rumored for the GTX 1650.

Again, both of these GTX 1650 models are compact single fan graphics cards that don’t need a power connector, and run with a base clock of 1,665MHz (although Quandt notes that the Gainward OC card will ramp that up to 1,725MHz – presumably via boost). Gainward GeForce GTX 1650 Pegasus 4GB (OC). GPU speed: 1665 MHz. 1725 MHz for OC model.

These are all still rumors and we can’t take anything for granted, of course, but we’ll find out soon enough whether Nvidia is indeed about to push out this new Turing GPU. A leaked benchmark revealed that the GTX 1650 is faster than AMD’s Radeon RX 570, which is pretty good going for Nvidia (assuming there’s no fakery involved here).<doc-sep>Photo (Image credit: Imgur) Twitter user @momomo_us, known for finding and leaking hardware specifications and other materials, has linked an image on Imgur that highlights the Intel's next-generation high-end i9-9750H laptop CPU, as well as Nvidia's upcoming mid-range to low-end GTX 1650. This information comes from promotional posters made by MSI to advertise an upcoming GL63 laptop that features both the Core i9-9750H and the Nvidia GTX 1650. According to MSI, the -9750H is about 28% faster than the current -8750H, and almost twice as fast as the quad-core -7700HQ, though it's not clear how MSI attained these figures. The percentages at the bottom of the document seem to compare the -7700HQ to the -9750H, saying the -7700HQ only has 50% of the cores and 45% of the performance. Google Translate couldn't find a realistic translation for the 40% figure. Though Google Translate is not perfect, it does make sense that the -9750H will be an eight-core processor considering it's almost twice as fast as the quad-core -7700HQ, as well as being 28% faster than the six-core 8750H (eight cores is 33% more than six). According to Google Translate, the GTX 1650 will replace the 1050 (no surprises there) but will be significantly faster. MSI reveals some 3DMark figures that claim the GTX 1650 scores 11294 points against the 1050's 7979 and the 1050Ti's 9114. MSI also says the GTX 1650 will provide 60 or more frames per second in games like Assassin's Creed, Fortnite, PUBG, and GTA V. The GTX 1650 will have 4 GB of VRAM, just like the mobile 1050, and its clock speed is 1395 MHz (MSI's promotional material doesn't specify if this is a sustained clock speed, base clock speed, or turbo clock speed). Though MSI's posters do not specify a price, this new GL63 is sure to be expensive as it sports 16GB of RAM and a 512GB NVME SSD. With what is likely an eight-core processor and an entry-level GPU, it seems to be oriented at eSports players, streamers, and video editors that need high core count CPUs.<doc-sep>(Image credit: Square Enix) Update 3/29/19, 1:45 p.m. ET: The GeForce GTX 1650 has been listed for a second time on the Final Fantasy XV benchmark scoreboard. On this occasion, the mid-range graphics card from Nvidia was benchmarked at a resolution of 1920x1080 on the High Quality graphics preset. According to the latest result, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650's performance is reportedly right in the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP's alley. In comparison to Nvidia's other graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 1650 finds itself just 2.58 percent short of catching up to the GeForce GTX 1060 (3GB). Original article, 3/21/19: (Image credit: Square Enix) The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, a rumored graphics card, just made its first appearance in the Final Fantasy XV benchmark scoreboard. Nvidia has already released the GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1660, so we're expecting the entry-level GTX 1650 should arrive shortly There are talks that the GTX 1650 will feature a different silicon than its older brothers. The GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Ti are powered by the Turing TU116 die, which TSMC produces for Nvidia on the 12nm process node. Rumor has it that TSMC is cooking up the TU117 for the GTX 1650. The TU117 is expected to come without RT cores, for real-time ray tracing, or Tensor cores, for AI workloads. The GTX 1650, rumored to sport up to 896 CUDA cores, could feature a 1,485MHz base clock and a boost clock that climbs over the 1,600MHz mark. The only concrete spec on the graphics card so far is the 4GB of memory clocked at 2,000MHz (8,000MHz), although the type of memory remains a mystery. It's possible that Nvidia will use GDDR5 memory with the GTX 1650. It's unknown whether the GTX 1650 benchmarked with the Final Fantasy XV tool is the desktop or mobile version. So take the results with a bit of salt. The graphics card was tested at the 2560x1440 resolution with the Lite Quality preset. The Final Fantasy XV results showed that the GTX 1650 performs just like the current GTX 1050 Ti. Based on the leaked benchmark, the performance difference between the two graphics cards is less than 1 percent. But let's not jump to conclusions just yet. The GTX 1650 could very well be the mobile variant, which would lead to a lower score. Plus, that graphics card could easily be an engineering sample, which would mean it's still susceptible to further tweaking from Nvidia. Also, there's the matter of having compatible drivers for the graphics card to truly perform properly. The GTX 1650 is expected to be on shelves by the end of March or on April 30, depending on which media (DigiTimes or HardOCP) you trust. The price tag for the budget graphics card is reportedly set at $179 (~£137.05), but, of course, that isn't carved in stone either.<doc-sep>
A fresh leak has given us an idea of the sort of performance we might expect from Intel’s Core i7-9750H laptop-targeted processor, as well as the notebook spin on Nvidia’s allegedly imminent GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card. This comes from @momomo_us on Twitter (a source of a number of previous leaks), who did some digging and unearthed promotional material for a supposedly incoming gaming laptop from MSI, which uses both the aforementioned components. On the processor front, the leaked figures highlight an undetermined benchmark from MSI which shows that the Core i7-9750H is around 28% faster than the i7-8750H it replaces – plus it’s roughly twice as quick as the i7-7700HQ. Here are the latest rumors on Nvidia’s Turing graphics cards We’ve highlighted all the best gaming laptops of 2019 We have also chosen the best processors In other words, it’s a bit of a notebook speed demon, with a near-30% jump being an impressive upgrade compared to its predecessor. That said, we must firstly bear in mind that this is only a purported leak, and also, there’s the fact that we don’t know what benchmark MSI used here. Pixel shifter With the graphics card, which is Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1650 that we’ve been hearing so much about recently – rumored to be launching later this month – we do at least know that the benchmark is 3DMark 11, and it shows the mobile GPU hitting a score of 11,294. That compares to a result of 7,979 for the GTX 1050, so a quick bit of maths indicates that the GTX 1650 will be a very tidy 41% faster. The GTX 1050 Ti scored 9,114, and so the GTX 1650 will (allegedly) be around 24% faster. Again, that’s impressively nippy, and MSI’s promo bumph also shows that the GTX 1650 has 4GB of video memory and a base clock of 1,395MHz, reinforcing previous speculation that those specs are on the money. Furthermore, some gaming frame rates are also quoted, including the laptop (and therefore the GTX 1650) hitting 98 frames per second (fps) in Fortnite, 75 fps in GTA V, and 65 fps in PUBG, presumably at Full HD resolution (as that’s the spec of the 15.6-inch IPS display). The MSI laptop which the leaked details pertain to is the GL63 for 2019, the top-spec model of which will have the aforementioned CPU and GPU, backed with 16GB of system memory and a 512GB NVMe SSD. The lesser variant keeps all the above, but switches the processor for a Core i5-9300H. These are the best graphics cards of 2019 Via Tom’s Hardware
