NVIDIA’S UPCOMING GEFORCE GTX 1650 MIGHT NOT REQUIRE A POWER CABLE

Leaked renders of a Zotac GeForce GTX 1650 surface.

There are plenty of rumors pointing to Nvidia releasing a GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card in the near future, and just last week, we assembled them into a tidy article covering price, specs, release date, and everything we know about the GTX 1650, including the expected power requirements. Since then, a batch of press renders have found their way to the web, and it looks like the GTX 1650 might not require a dedicated power cable from your PSU, just as we surmised.

The folks at Videocardz got their mitts on a batch of what look to be official press renders of a Zotac model. According to the box art, the GTX 1650 will indeed ship with 4GB of GDDR5 memory, as we had been hearing.

What’s interesting though is what’s not seen. The renders show the card from multiple angles, and none of them reveal a PCIe power connector on the card. If that is indeed the case, then the 75W provided from a PCIe x16 slot will be sufficient to power the card.
