Desktop GPU prices have begun to normalize, but it seems Nvidia still feels the need for something cheap and easy to produce – component maker Colorful has let slip that an Nvidia GTX 1630 is on the way.
This will be a cut from the previous base model, the 1650. This means that it is based on the 2019 Turing architecture. The difference between the GTX 16 series and the RTX 20 series is that the former lacks ray tracing and tensor hardware.
According to leaked data, the GTX 1630 will have fewer CUDA cores than the 1650, which will be compensated slightly with higher clock speeds. The biggest performance limit, however, will be the 64-bit bus for the 4GB of GDDR6. This will result in the memory bandwidth being cut in half compared to the 1650 (which has a 128-bit bus). Turing chips are manufactured in TSMC’s 12nm foundries, so there should be relatively little competition for capacity.
| Geforce | GTX 1630 * | GTX 1650 |
| GPU | Turing TU117-150 at 12 nm | Turing TU117-300 at 12 nm |
| CUDA cores | 512 | 896 |
| Increase the clock | 1,785 MHz | 1,590 MHz |
| Memory | 4GB GDDR6 | 4GB GDDR6 |
| Memory bus | 64 bit | 128 bit |
| Bandwidth | 96 GB / s | 192 GB / s |

As for the Colorful GeForce GTX 1630, images leaked recently and showed a similar design to the GTX 1650 Battle Ax: dual cooling fans, HDMI, DisplayPort and DVI outputs, plus a 6-pin power connector. The latter part means that the card will exceed the maximum TDP of 75W that PCIe can support.
