NVIDIA Announces GeForce GTX 1660 Ti And GTX 1650 GPUs For Notebooks

NVIDIA showed off several of its partner’s notebooks during a closed door event in Bangkok, fitted with the GPU brand’s Turing-powered GeForce GTX series GPUs. Specifically, the notebook GPUs we saw on display were the GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1650.

The notebook brands that we saw at the event included Lenovo’s Legion lineup, Gigabyte’s ultra-slim Aero notebook, as well as Acer’s Nitro series of gaming notebooks. Also, and as per an earlier report, it looks like MSI’s leaked GL series are also part of the list.

Unsurprisingly, all the notebooks were merely engineering samples. Of the notebooks up on display, both the Gigabyte Aero and Acer Nitro 5 were the only ones that were fitted with the GTX 1660 Ti. The other models – The Acer Nitro 7 and Lenovo Legion – featured the GTX 1650.

Oddly enough, NVIDIA was coy about the specifics of its GTX 1650. In fact, the only thing the GPU maker was willing to divulge is that the entry-level GPU is based on its TU117 Turing architecture. That said, we do have an inkling about its performance, which was described as “wildly conflicting”.

As an extra added bonus, we also discovered one of the notebooks – specifically the Gigabyte Aero unit – running on what was both clearly and obviously a 9th generation Intel Core i7-9750H CPU. It was the first time we had seen a unit running on Intel’s latest mobile CPU on a notebook, and engineering units nonetheless.

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1650 notebooks are available starting today. As for availability of the models, that will be left up to each of NVIDIA OEM partner.
