MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 128-Bit HDMI/DP/DVI 4GB GDRR5 HDCP Support DirectX 12 VR Ready OC Low Profile Bracket Included Graphics Card (GTX 1650 4GT LP OC)

Are you considering buying this graphics card for some low budget gaming? Here’s my take:UPDATE: One year later and this GPU is still working great! I wanted to make an update because I found that my PC ran much smoother when I also upgraded to a 1TB SSD. I have found that my build is actually a great option for budget gaming and still getting decent frames on all games. I have been playing a lot of Warzone over this last year and that game is known for getting low frames even on really expensive PC's. With my build of 16 Gb's of Ram, 1 TB SSD, and this GPU, I was getting at least 60 FPS at all times. A great GPU for the price and it performs well with the right parts to complement it.I took a Dell Optiplex 9010 (Low Profile) office desktop and upgraded it for some low budget hobby gaming. I upgraded to 16 GBs of Ram, Windows 10 Pro, and 250 GBs of storage. Last thing I needed was an updated graphics card and I did a lot of research. I wasn’t going to spend over $250 on a graphics card, but I also needed a card with a low profile bracket because of the thinner case on the Dell Optiplex 9010. I ended up purchasing this GPU because I wanted a 4GB GPU, it had decent reviews, and it had a low profile bracket.The installation was simple (just make sure you have a tiny screwdriver for the bracket switch if you need low profile). I had it installed in my PC within minutes and the driver download only took a few minutes.If you are wanting to play some higher quality games, you will need to make sure to have plenty of RAM space, but with 16 GBs of RAM and playing some games on lower quality settings, I was able to play the following games with minimal to no stutters or screen freezes:- Valorant- Lord of the Rings Online- COD Mobile (through GameLoop)- COD Warzone- Escape from TarkovAs you can see I was even able to play high quality games like Warzone and Tarkov (just play on low quality settings) with only minor stutters and no game crashes.So if you’re looking for a GPU that won’t break the bank and will still get the job done for hobby gaming, than look no further!

I used to rock a GTX 1050ti on my small Dell Optiplex, these machines are too small for full size gpus but they make an alright gaming rig with the right low profile gpu equipped. This is literally by far the most powerful low profile gpu you can get that doesn't need power from your power supply your pci slot alone will power it. This one easily gives me 10 to 15 more FPS than my old 1050ti depending on the game, which is nice given the size of the gpu and the system I use it in. So long story short... If you have a small form factor that can only house low profile bracket gpus and want to get decent gaming performance in such small system, this is the best gpu you can get as long as you have decent processor let's say an i7 or at least an i5 from decent gen and 16gb ram, makes this gpu work pretty good. I wouldn't get this gpu as a full profile the 1660 or rx 570 are better budget gpus but again if you are limited to low profile cause of your small case, this is the strongest gpu you can get.

Bought this for my brother. He is an avid World of Warcraft player. He bought himself a prebuilt HP Pavilion Gaming PC. The Video card was a Radeon RX550. This Video Card fit perfectly inside it's small case. Also since it receives all of it's power from the PCIE slot, we didn't have to upgrade the 310 Watt Power Supply, which can be difficult with all the proprietary components.He went from experiencing a lot of lag with most settings near the lowest quality, to playing on Ultra, everything set to max quality with zero lag at all.Well worth the price.

It makes my games run FAST! Pros: Games go BRRRRR, Cons: Wallet goes burrrrrrrrr(very cold and empty). It's nice, but a bit expensive, especially because you can't run Occulus on it. Oh well! It's very nice!!!!

This is a resonably priced solution to get 4k output from a PC connected to Samsung 4k UHD tv. My earlier GTI 750 could not process quickly enough to watch 4k video content without stopping and buffering. This card works flawlessly, video is smooth as silk! Small size and not requiring extra power makes this a great solution.Note, I have not done any gaming, so cannot comment on that use case.

Needed to play games during quarantine so I popped this in a Dell Optiplex slimline tower with the narrow bracket. Super sketchy installation on an x4 PCI slot, barely any airflow, and only 200W PSU but it works GREAT. Zero issues over a couple months of heavy gaming and temps are manageable, it's just a bit loud.
