Today, respected graphics card leaker VideoCardz released information on numerous unreleased custom GeForce GTX 1650 graphics cards from some of Nvidia's biggest partners, including Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI. Obviously, these aren't the brands' entire lineups, but the leaked graphics card are probably the most important models. Believe it or not, some custom models, like the MSI GeForce GTX 1650 Ventus and GeForce GTX 1650 Aero ITX, have even already gone up for preorder at foreign Amazon sites.

Images of future products leaking on the Internet a few days just before an official launch has become a trend in the computer hardware world. So, it's natural to find leaked images of Nvidia's upcoming GeForce GTX 1650 gaming graphics card online even though the launch is widely believed to be scheduled in a couple of days.


Once again, the ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1650 OC serves as the flagship of Asus' GeForce GTX 1650 lineup. The graphics card features a dual-slot design and comes equipped with the dual-fan Strix cooler. As denoted by its model name, the ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1650 OC is factory-overclocked out of the box, and as a result, requires a 6-pin PCIe power connector. The graphics card comes with two HDMI 2.0b ports and two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs.


The Dual GeForce GTX 1650 utilizes the brand's no-frills black Dual cooler with white accents. It will be available in standard and overclocked models. Independent of the version, the Dual GeForce GTX 1650 doesn't require any external PCIe power connectors. The graphics card comes with a different combination of display connectors as opposed to the Strix model. Asus equipped the Dual model with a dual-link DVI-D port, HDMI 2.0b port, and DisplayPort 1.4 output.


The Phoenix GeForce GTX 1650 is one of Asus' more vanilla models. The graphics card has a simple shroud with a single cooling fan. A PCIe power connector isn't required. Like the Dual model, the Phoenix GeForce GTX 1650 will also come in standard and overclocked trim. It also has the same display connector configurations as the Dual GeForce GTX 1650.


On Gigabyte's side, the GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming OC carries the flagship totem. The graphics card employs the Windforce 2X cooler, which measures 265mm long, and two 100mm cooling fans. The shroud is decked out with RGB lighting. The graphics card even comes with a beautiful, full-cover black backplate.

The graphics card ships with a 1,815MHz boost clock, and consequently, relies on a 6-pin PCIe power connector for extra power. The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming OC has a unique display connector layout that consists of three HDMI 2.0b ports and a DisplayPort 1.4 output.


If you think you're seeing double, you're right. Aside from three minor details, the GeForce GTX 1650 Windforce OC is a carbon copy of the GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming OC. At 229mm, the GeForce GTX 1650 Windforce OC is shorter and only has two 90mm cooling fans. This model comes with a modest 1,785MHz boost clock, as opposed to the 1,815MHz boost clock on the GeForce GTX 1650 Gaming OC.
