Rumor: Nvidia to release GeForce GTX 1630 with 512 CUDA cores on May 31

Nvidia may release its unannounced GeForce GTX 1630 desktop graphics card on May 31. That card would be based on the GTX 1650, but with fewer CUDA cores and a smaller memory bus. The suggested retail price is not yet known.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1630 will be based on the Turing architecture with a TU117-150 GPU, report VideoCardz sources. That GPU would get 512 CUDA cores and a 64-bit memory bus. To illustrate: the TU117-300 GPU in the GTX 1650 has 896 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory bus.

The GTX 1630 also gets a higher boost clock of 1800MHz, while the GTX 1650 has a higher boost clock of 1590MHz. The card would also get 4GB GDDR6 memory with a speed of 12Gbit/s. In combination with the 64-bit memory bus, the bandwidth is therefore 96GB/s. Furthermore, according to VideoCardz, the video card has a tdp of 75W.

It is not yet known what the GTX 1630 will cost. VideoCardz reported earlier this week that the video card should take the place of the GTX 1050 Ti. This video card is currently in the Pricewatch from about 200 euros. The higher positioned GTX 1650 costs at least 210 euros at the time of writing. Nvidia will release the GTX 1630 on May 31, according to VideoCardz. Next week, that company will hold a keynote during Computex. The GPU maker may then share more details.
