Heatsink Design

In the GTX 1650 series, EVGA has taken down the heatsink design from the GTX 1660/1660 Ti. Specifically, we have 2 cooling fans placed on an aluminum heatsink cluster with 1 copper tube. The case owns the new design language of EVGA and comes with luxurious and noble silver paint. The heatsink cluster is quite big and thick, thicker than some competitors in the same segment. However, this card will only occupy 2 expansion slots. With a length of only 20cm, the GTX 1650 SC Ultra can fit into any current case.

However, the biggest minus point in my opinion is that the VRM and VRAM arrays are not heatsunk. Those 2 divisions are 2 places that will generate a lot of heat, just behind the GPU. This may affect the overclocking ability of this graphics card. Moreover, because this is a popular graphics card, the RGB LED will not be present on this card.

Unlike rival models, EVGA has equipped the GTX 1650 SC Ultra with a metal backplate. In addition to supporting the board’s heat dissipation, this backplate will increase the card’s sturdiness. Honestly, having the backplate on the card looks more luxurious.

Hardware

Basic specifications

In terms of parameters, the EVGA GTX 1650 SC Ultra will be quite similar to the reference parameters from Nvidia. Specifically, it will own the TU117 core, instead of the TU116 core with a few parameters cut. Next, we have 896 CUDA cores, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. VRAM will still use the same 8Gbps GDDR5 type as the GTX 1660, but the capacity will be only 4GB on a 128bit bus. VRAM memory chips are manufactured by Micron.

Power Consumption

The VRM on this graphics card has a 3+1 configuration (3 phases for GPU and 1 phase for VRAM). The normal TDP would be 75W, which can be increased to a maximum of 85W. The power limit is also increased higher than the reference parameter. A 6-pin auxiliary power supply and a 300W or more power supply will be needed to run this card. That makes GTX 1650 SC Ultra can be installed in any machine, especially synchronous machines.

Pulse

The boost clock of the GTX 1650 SC Ultra will be 195MHz higher than the reference from Nvidia. Specifically, the boost clock will be at 1860MHz, while the base clock will still be at 1485MHz. Of course, you can completely squeeze higher thanks to EVGA’s Precision X1 software.

Output port

Output from GTX 1650 SC Ultra is handled by 2 DisplayPort 1.4 ports and 1 HDMI 2.0b port. The maximum resolution is 7680×4320 and the maximum supported refresh rate is 240Hz. You can output up to 3 monitors with this graphics card. G-sync and even FreeSync are supported.
