When we thought that the NVIDIA GTX were already part of the past, it turns out that we come face to face with reality and we find a new model that we will see on the market May 31, that is to say in a few days. Well, they have already appeared. GTX 1630 Specifications. A graphics card that is not designed for gaming, but for much more modest environments. Especially for low-end Intel processor users who don’t have an integrated graphics card and therefore need a base card to be able to use their computer.
If there’s anything we’re very sure about, in the future, entry-level graphics cards will disappear. The reason? Integrated graphics cards will be good enough that low-end models can do without them. However, many users with a simple desktop computer also have a processor without an integrated graphics card. The NVIDIA GTX 1630 is aimed at them, which is still a replacement for the GTX 1010 and GTX 1030. We are therefore not dealing with a graphics card designed for the gaming market, not even for eSports. Why do we say this? A look at its technical characteristics confirms this. Although logically everything would indicate that we are dealing with a graphics card for the OEM market, which will surely also have a counterpart for laptops.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 Specifications
Well, the final specs of NVIDIA’s most modest graphics card to date have been revealed. Which does not share the same architecture as the RTX 30, but the one we already considered to be withdrawn from the market. Our perception of the GTX 1630 specs? They are well below expectations and everything indicates that apart from simple office tasks, your GPU is falling short. And it is enough to see its technical characteristics to verify it.
- 512 CUDA cores distributed in 8 SMs
- GTX Turing Architecture. It therefore lacks Tensor Cores and RT Cores.
- Your chip is TU117-150a slimmed down variant of the one used in the GTX 1650.
- 64-bit memory bus.
- Maximum clock speed: 1800MHz.
- TDP is 75Wit therefore uses no additional connectors and is powered by the interface itself.
- 4 GB of 12 Gbp GDDR6 memorys, which gives you a bandwidth of 96 GB/s.
Considering the GTX 1650, which it’s based on, was released over two years ago, we’re surprised that NVIDIA decided to release this less powerful version now. We believe this is a way for NVIDIA to completely clean up its TU117 chip inventory for good. In the guise of a very low cost graphics card. At the moment the only thing that is clear is its release date, which will be the next day 31. Knowing that Computex is in the middle, everything seems to indicate that its price and availability will be announced during said international fair.
