why is no one buying the regular 1650?

[ebprince the computer nerd]

I am noticing something. No one buys the GTX 1650 G5/G6.

 

It’s only like $100-200 above MSRP. The 1650 Super is like $200-300 above MSRP. Sometimes, an MSI one is sometimes $325. Even before the GPU blow-up, everyone chooses the 1650 Super. Is the regular 1650 not good enough? Is it a bad value card? I am very confused why no one buys it.

It's just it's not good for it's price that's the main reason

Not super good value. You can buy a GTX 980 that outperforms it for $200. That would be $100 before the shortage.

Before crypto, no one buys it because it's slow. We have the RX 570 if you're looking for a 4GB card that's cheap and available in huge numbers.

 

After crypto, Ryzen APUs ate its market. Yes they are even slower, but also cheaper and it's already good for the same types of games

That box at the top that says "best match"?

Change that to "Price: lowest-highest"

$250 is the cheapest for the full card
