$149 GTX 1650 also available for desktop.
Nvidia has today officially lifted the lid on the GTX 1650, announcing it for both laptops and desktops at the same time while also confirming that the GTX 1660 Ti is coming to laptops too.
In an announcement that is timed to the minute to coincide with Intel’s own announcement regarding 9th Gen Core laptop CPUs, Nvidia says over 80 new laptop models featuring GTX 1660 Ti or GTX 1650 will begin rolling out today from different manufacturers, with prices expected to start at $999 for GTX 1660 Ti laptops (UK pricing not confirmed) and at $799 excluding tax in the US or £699 including VAT in the UK for GTX 1650 laptops.
The GTX 1660 Ti, of course, is nothing new, having first arrived as a desktop part in February. Using a fully enabled TU116 GPU built on a 12nm process, it features 1,536 CUDA Cores, 96 texture units, and 48 ROPs. It also includes 6GB of GDDR6 running at 12Gbps over a 192-bit bus for a total bandwidth of 288GB/s. While it uses the Turing architecture, it lacks the RT Cores and Tensor Cores of its more powerful Turing RTX brethren, and thus does not feature built-in support for accelerating ray tracing or AI workloads, though it still technically supports DirectX Raytracing (DXR) as of a recent driver update.first arrived as a desktop partas of a recent driver update
All of the above also applies to the laptop implementation of GTX 1660 Ti. However, the more constrained thermal environment of laptops means that the desktop 120W TDP is lost and replaced by a configurable power envelope of between 60W and 80W.
