Knife card (single card slot) graphics card has always been the gospel of the majority of htpc and the pursuit of the ultimate small steel cannon enthusiasts, and since Nvidia launched the rtx20 series Turing architecture new card after the explosion of energy efficiency ratio; many graphics cards are actually very suitable for making knife cards! (e.g. gtx16 series)
Recently, the Japanese graphics card manufacturer Elsa took the lead in launching the gtx1650 graphics card version, and because the gtx1650 uses a very low power consumption tu117 core (tdp is only 75w), so there is no need for external power supply (only use pci-e power supply), the heat dissipation requirements are also very low, with an ordinary small fan can meet the heat dissipation needs; and the performance is perfectly beyond the gtx1050ti, so it is very suitable for making a knife card or a half-height card.
In terms of heat dissipation, in addition to being equipped with an ordinary fan, the radiator also uses heat pipe direct contact, but it is estimated that such a small space is difficult to add a copper bottom to it.
In terms of parameters, this graphics card has 896 cuda processors, the silent frequency is 1485mhz, the boost frequency can go to 1665mhz, equipped with 128bit/4gb gddr5 video memory, the video memory frequency is 8gbps, I/O also gives two dp interfaces and an hdmi interface, the length is about 21.3cm.
Knives like this are quite good for HTPC or lightweight portable film and television post-production workstations!
