OP updated!!

At 1080p though this 1650 has the same performance per dollar as the AMD cards.

That is one of the cheapest GTX1650 cards too. In the UK the cheapest RX570 cards start at around £124 and the cheapest GTX1650 cards start at £15 more. Many of the reviews test the GTX1650 cards which are not bus powered,whilst the cheapest ones are and lose a bit of performance according to TPU and Hardware Unboxed.

In which case the 1650 looks to besame performance per dollar as the 570 and 580 but uses far less power and has newer features helping future proofing.

In the UK cheapest to cheapest the RX570 is £15 cheaper. TPU tested the cheapest GTX1650 they could find in the US.

So ive not read a lot into the GTX 16 series but i see they're a Touring GPU but basically crippled with no ray tracing cores?

Is it that they're failed actual RTX Gpus that were faulty in some way so they gimped them even more by laser cut or were they actually a completely new made die specifically for 16 series?

New chips which have much smaller dies. However,they are still big relatively to Pascal. The TU117 in the GTX1650 is the same size as the GP106 in the GTX1660 and the TU116 in the GTX1660TI is around 280MM2 in size,which is only 10% to 15% smaller than the GP104 in the GTX1080. One major addition I believe is FP16 support,which Vega also added.

Yes the performance per dollar isn't good for all those cards you mentioned, but look at the chart again. Notice the 570 sitting pretty, 27% ahead of this new 1650. With it's price and the performance it gives, it makes a mockery of this new 1650 and yes if just about everything else as well at this price point.

I also saw an RX580 8GB for £150 too in the UK from a larger retailer. That is only around £10 more than the cheaper GTX1650 4GB cards too.

Gibbo also mentioned deals too next week.
