GIGABYTE CUSTOM-DESIGNED COOLING SYSTEM
GIGABYTE Custom-designed cooling system delivers an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures.
Low Profile Design
Low profile design with 167mm card length saves more spaces and fits slim or smaller system.
Flexible Connectivity
Equip with one Dual-link DVI-D, one DP, and two HDMI ports and support up to 4 displays.
Ultra Cooling
Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs are specially designed to produce lower switching resistance for faster electric current charging and discharging at extremely low temperature.
Low Power Loss
Metal Choke hold energy much longer than common iron-core chokes at high frequency, thus effectively reduce core energy loss and EMI interference.
Longer Life
Lower ESR Solid Capacitors ensure better electronic conductivity for excellent system performance and longer lifespan.
FRIENDLY PCB DESIGN
Fully automated production process ensures top quality of the circuit boards and eliminates sharp protrusions of the solder connectors seen on the conventional PCB surface. This friendly design prevents your hands from getting cut or inadvertently damaging components when making your build.
IN TOTAL COMMAND
The interface and functionality of the software is subject to each model.
AORUS Engine
The cutting edge intuitive interface allows you to adjust the clock speed, voltage, fan performance and power target in real-time according to your game’s requirements.

Pros: Compact size and low power draw allows for installation in 99% of PCs. Provides a solid gaming experience at 1080p. VRMs are connected to the heatsink
Cons: GPU is not able to reach it's full potential due to thermal throttling. Fan shroud is unnecessarily long, prevents installation in some SFF systems without physical modification and therefore loss of warranty. VRMs are connected to the heatsink.
Overall Review: First of all let me clarify my rating, if I was judging the GPU alone it would get a 5/5, hands down. The amount of power you get in such a small form factor is incredible, really shows how far graphics technology has come in the last 10 years. The fact that you can slap this card into nearly any system and be able to play most games on high at 60fps in 1080p should've been Nvidia's marketing angle for the 1650. That being said, this is by no means an enthusiast card. If you have enough space/power in your system, definitely get something else, RX 580, 1660 Ti, anything else. IMO the only use case for the 1650 is in SFF PCs, that's where this card *really* shines. If you only look at frames per dollar, the 1650 blows, no question. However if you look at frames per watt, the 1650 absolutely decimates anything near it. That being said, I am absolutely appalled at the lack of effort Gigabyte put into the thermal design of this card. The dinky piece of aluminum they call a heatsink struggles to keep the 1650 cool under load and thermal throttling very rapidly becomes a problem. Overclocking is out of the question without raising the thermal limit to dangerous highs. I was able to get the card stable at 1850MHz but that was only when I had the thermal limit set at 90C in MSI Afterburner, and you bet it was locked at 90C for the entire benchmark. This might sound silly, "yeah no dip the card runs hotter when its overclocked" but hear this, the Zotac GDDR5 LP version of this card I had before was running stable at 1985MHZ, and the thing never broke 85C. The heatsink on that card is also entirely aluminum, but it was much larger, thicker, had more fins, and was overall designed a lot better. And I get it, the 1650 isn't going to get the same premium treatment as the flagship GPUs. I just would've thought the company behind the legendary Windforce series of cards would have been a little bit more thoughtful in designing the thermal solution for this guy (especially considering it costs the same as their full-size 1650s...) Definitely knocked my opinion of Gigabyte down a notch or two. Everything considered, I still absolutely recommend the 1650 for small system builders, just not this card specifically. If you can, I would wait for more board partners to release their versions of the LP 1650 D6 and go with one that has a more robust cooling solution (looking directly at you, Zotac). However, if you just gotta have the LP GDDR6 version of the 1650 right now, this card works alright. Not great, but alright. I will most likely be selling this card once other, properly cooled LP GDDR6 1650s come out and buying one of those instead if that says anything... Overall, I'd give this card a 6 out of 10. Love the low profile implementation of the GDDR6 1650, but I just can't overlook how badly designed the thermal solution is. Really holds back the potential this thing has and as an enthusiast it breaks my heart. Come on Gigabyte, you're better than this.
