The launch of the GTX 1630 from Nvidia is imminent. The green giant’s graphics card partners are gearing up for the launch of this low-end model, and it’s confirmed to have 512 CUDA cores.
GeForce GTX 1630 will have 512 CUDA cores
Nvidia intends to replace its ‘old’ GTX 1050 Ti with the GTX 1630, which is based on the GTX 1650 model. This graphics card is based on the Turing architecture and will be the new entry-level proposal from Nvidia, which has the need to launch a new model in this segment and better compete with the new RX 6400 from AMD.
What has been confirmed in the last hours is that this model will occupy about 512 CUDA cores. At the time of writing, both Colorful and MSI have confirmed these specs on their websites. The reference specifications also indicate that the boost clock speed of this model is 1785 MHz. However, each manufacturer can increase these clock speeds as they see fit.
The GTX 1630 uses the TU117-150 silicon, a scaled-down variant of Nvidia’s slowest Turing GPU. The memory bus will only be 64-bit, for 96 GB/s bandwidth. The default TDP would be 75W, but partners can increase the default TDP, to require an external 6-pin connector, as with Colorful’s recently leaked model.
At launch we should see different models based on the GTX 1630, with two fans and with one fan, also requiring a 6-pin connector or not. Models with a minimalist Mini-ITX design should be common currency here, as the GPU is not very power demanding. We’ll keep you posted on this release.
