    Yeah 1650 should have support for several years yet. If you haven't bought it yet, keep an eye out on whether it comes with GDDR6 or 5.

    FWIW, this was recently posted to the F@H forum.

    https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.p...art=15#p325084

    Let me post some 'alternative' Top GPUs. (as I have found them)

    The fastest Nvidia GPU you do not need additional power plugs for is a GTX 1650.
    The fastest Nvidia GPU that fits in a Dual Slot Low Profile case is also a GTX 1650
    The fastest Nvidia GPU that fits in a Single Slot is a GTX 1070
    The fastest Nvidia GPU that fits in a Single Slot Low Profile case is a GT 1030
    The fastest Nvidia GPU that is fanless is a GTX 1650

    The fastest AMD GPU you do not need additional power plugs for is a RX 560.
    The fastest AMD GPU that fits in a Dual Slot Low Profile case is also a RX 560
    The fastest AMD GPU that fits in a Single Slot is a RX 550
    The fastest AMD GPU that fits in a Single Slot Low Profile case is a R7 240
    The fastest AMD GPU that is fanless is a RX 460

    Those of you with big beefy cases with big beefy power supplies can ignore these cards!

    I don't know if GDDR6 vs. GDDR5 matters to me at the moment. I'm still on PCI-e 2.

    I did buy it already. It is now installed. I'll test it whenever my computer decides to turn on. The power button quit working.

    So, is it the power button, the motherboard or the PSU? It's a very high quality PSU, so I doubt it's the problem. The motherboard is really old, but it works well enough when it's on. So far, the computer does always turn back on, so I really doubt it's the button. I went to sleep one night and in the morning it was running. My money is on the board. Might be time to upgrade finally.
