The entry-level bright card market is suddenly very lively: AMD has already had the RX 6400, and it is said that there is an RX 6300; Intel has just released the Arc A380, which is basically equal to the RX 6400 and GTX 1650; NVIDIA is rumored to be coming out with a GTX 1630.
The GTX 1630 was originally said to be released at the end of May, then it was delayed by two weeks, and then it became TBD…
According to the latest news from the graphics card factory, the GTX 1630 is expected to be shipped from this weekend or early next week, but NVIDIA has not yet notified the official release time, and it is expected to be on sale around next Tuesday, June 28.
GTX 1630 will be the first product in the “GTX x30” series. The core is still the TU117 of the previous generation Turing architecture. It has only 512 CUDA cores, the highest frequency is 1.8GHz, the video memory is cut to 64-bit 4GB GDDR6, and the bandwidth is 96GB/s. Card power consumption 75W.
Naturally, it has no ray chase and no DLSS.
In contrast, the RX 6400 is the latest 6nm process, RDNA2 architecture, 768 stream processors, supports light tracking, FSR, more and faster video memory, and only 53W of lower power consumption.
Even, Intel Arc A380 is stronger than it in terms of specifications and performance.
