Update for the kids PC from GTX780... 1650 super??

[dazzlaa]

As per the title, I’m looking to get a power efficient GPU for the kids PC which currently has a gtx 780. It is an itx build and between the confined space, the slim psu and the 780, things get noisy! I’m thinking if I get a less power hungry GPU that would be a good start but at the same time would like a performance increase for the efforts. Now I know the 1650 has no benchmarks etc but are there any people here who might like to take a guess on whether it would be an upgrade at all to the 780? Would I be better getting the 1660 super? I really don’t want to spend over £150 if I can help it which does make the 1660 super a stretch (they only play mine craft , Fortnite and roblox etc)



cheers!

If you can wait I would check out the RX 5500. If you cant wait it would be a 570, unbeatable value to performance.

Is the 570 an upgrade from a 780? I always imagined the performance would be similar.

I guess waiting another month is my best bet here. See how the 5500xt and 1650 super turn out

I think primarily I would like to reduce power use, hopefully that will reduce heat and the load on the psu. The psu is a super slim piece that isn’t exactly made for heat dissipation I know, but I’d rather buy a GPU at this point in time than a case and power supply. Maybe it’s a silly way to look at it but I do kinda like the super small form factor they currently have.
I noticed a gtx 10603gb provides decent gains and huge power drops over what we have. Arrggh, so hard to decide!

Thanks for all the replies, it really is a tough price bracket (and time) to be a buyer within. The 570 actually performs better than I imagined looking at the videos. It’s not a card I had considered previously (although I once had an RX 480)
One thing worth mentioning here is the 1650 super is rumoured to be 100w and a 50% increase over the vanilla model. I imagine NVIDIA will bump the price slightly as they always do, which brings back into play the thought of a second hand rx570. Pretty sure I can grab one for under £100 if I’m a tough buyer! The 780 actually performs pretty well for its age, I know after all this I will end up replacing the case and PSU as well. (Already bought a PSU today just in case: £20 marketplace buy haha)
