I had a circa 2003 NVIDIA GPU in my 12 year old Dell. I was looking for a better card for its PCI x2. Although there's a bandwidth limitation from not having x3, I expected the huge increase in #cores and memory to be a huge benefit, and it was. Games and video editing, or anything involving a GPU work MUCH better. The documentation could use an update though. It doesn't actually come with an installation disk. It took a couple of nervous reboots to finally recognize the card and update drivers correctly, but overall it was easy to install.

Currently I am not using this GPU to play games but I am running photo editing programs at high resolutions. This GPU handles it with a breeze! I'm amazed at how well it can handle 4K content. I have this setup in a PC I mainly use for editing and streaming content. It was super easy to setup and has been working flawlessly since first installed. I really enjoy the product overall: aesthetically, performance, and quality of material makes this a huge win for me.

An amazing upgrade over my RX 550!

I made the mistake of not researching an HP Gaming PC I got on sale. It only had a 310W PSU and an RX 550. To make matters worse, the PSU was proprietary. So when I wanted to upgrade my GPU, that meant buying a very overpriced PSU from HP.
Then came the 1650. I watched so many tech reviews and they panned this card saying the RX 570 was better. Granted, I really wanted to get that card. But the value proposition failed after looking at an upgraded HP PSU.
So I went ahead and got this card and oh my goodness it is night and day. The card is silent, thermals are great, and the gaming experience blows the stock 550 out of the water.
If you are stuck with a proprietary PSU that has a low wattage, get this card. If not, get a 570.

It was a good idea to upgrade to this graphics card for my desktop. I originally had a GTX 760 and it worked okay. However, as games started to become better, I needed an upgrade. This isn't top of the line, but it works really well for most games on High (sometimes Ultra) graphics. Typically I've bought EVGA, but the MSI brand for sure didn't disappoint me!

Very nice value upgrade without going crazy on cost, this is a very tall product so much larger than expected inside the case but once installed it works well and runs games a breeze on a standard 1920x1080 monitor or tv with high settings on all all but the latest first person shooters

Its a good 1080p gpu but with the 1660 super its not really worth buying anymore not to mention the 30 series gpu's launching later this year. If you need something for a side build or something this card is a fair price for ok performance.

I purchased the 1650 because it was in my price range for a new graphics card and it was available in store that day. Amazing upgrade in comparison to my Radeon HD 7770. Great graphics card for lower budget PC builds.

1650 is a good budget CPU and will run your run of the mill popular games like PUBG or League of Legends just fine. And being from MSI, the build quality of the cooler is pretty great as well.
But there are definitely better options if you're willing to spend a little more, but if this is at the absolute top of the price range, then this won't be a bad choice.

Outstanding graphic card. It may not have all the bells and whistles that a RTX 3070 has or a high end AMD card, but it will do the job and won't obliterate your money either. Quite affordable and will look good with a custom build.

I bought this to replace another video card that when bad in my current pc build. I don't really need a high-end $1,000 video card to fit my needs. Just something good for watching and editing videos, viewing and editing pictures, and maybe some very light gaming. I usually do work with my pc's.

I bought this to limp my aging PC into Steam VR...works well enough. If you can afford better.....do it. If looking to get the best card you can get under $200 this is def a contender.
