NVIDIA has enabled its AIB partners to design a to ship a GeForce GTX 1650 GPU with a twist - a GDDR6 DRAM instead of the regular GDDR5 DRAM. And GIGABYTE is the first to update its GPU offerings. Today, GIGABYTE has launched... exactly all the models it had it already offered? Both of the models, like the GIGABYTE GTX 1650 OC and GTX 1650 Windforce OC, are carrying the same name again, just with a newer memory. The only difference is the box it ships in, which you can see below, that shows a GDDR6 marking and the GPU has a bit different cooler shroud. The amount of memory is still static, remaining at 4 GB, while the speed is now bumped to 12 Gbps. Everything else remains the same.
 
Sounds like a very cost effective method to improve a product.

    GDDR6 "upgrade" will probably be launched by all partners

    Reading the comments on https://videocardz.com/85434/gigabyte-launches-geforce-gtx-1650-with-gddr6-memory suggests this is an april fools joke
     
    But if it's legit, it fills a niche market for PCI-E video cards that get power exclusively from the PCI-E slot.
