Nvidia 8Gb Graphics Cards

I have loved Nvidia graphics cards for decades and always buy Asus branded ones when I can. They have always been great hardware. This GTX1650 card is no exception. I got it because my older card wouldn't run Red Dead Redemption and this card runs it great...

This card is relatively good on energy and has all of the latest Nvidia graphics card capabilities.

I wanted a small form workstation but needed NVIDIA graphics and this is working well for me.

Who can pass up an Nvidia graphics card with your choice of one of two free games?

I use ON1 Photo RAW as my photography software and it is a power hog. The NVIDIA graphics card is able to handle this and other photography programs with lightening speed.

Don’t know much about graphics cards but I can tell you that this one blows away what I had. Love it.

I bought the 3.2Ghz 6 core i7, 8GB, 256GB SSD. My only regret is that I didn’t spend just a bit more and get the 512GB SSD. Otherwise, this is a great replacement for my 2011 iMac. Of course, I had to buy some things like a monitor, keyboard and trackpad. The Mini came with 8GB but I upped it to 32GB. Except for graphics the Mini is a beast! It came with Mohave but I recently upgraded to Catalina Beta and it works great! Some don’ts, do not buy Apple’s keyboards, they are simply overpriced. I went for a Space Gray look and found the Space Gray Magic Trackpad 2 on eBay for less than what Apple charges and an iClever keyboard for around $30. I found a couple of 1TB SSDs for $109 each and so my main storage is SSD and as such the system is extremely quick! If you want to expand your options the Mini has 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports and 2 USB 3.0 ports. I chose the Gigabit Ethernet but a 10 Gigabit is available for $100 more. There’s also an HDMI 2.0 port and a speaker port. RAM is upgradeable but unless you have the tools and know what you’re doing you are better off letting a pro do it. Now, if you want to do gaming or graphics intense work, get an external GPU! Graphics are the weak link in the Mini but otherwise it really is a Pro level system. You would have to spend considerably more to do better. I like the small form factor but do get the most powerful CPU if you can afford it. This will help future proof your system for quite some time.

Good value, especially considering the lack of mid-priced graphics cards available right now.

Perfect size - headphones are sweatproof! I like to swap out Memory Cards (8GB)
