There are a few months left before 2019 ends, and Nvidia appears to be planning something big to close the year. Rumors have it that the company is slated to unveil the Turing-based GTX 1650Ti graphics card this fall.
The Turing GPU lineup of Nvidia is popular for its real-time ray tracing and artificial intelligence support. This GPU capability may sound high-end, but rig builders can expect a budget-friendly price tag.
Nvidia new GPU rumored specs and price: Turing-based GTX 1650Ti arriving soon
The Ti-version of the Nvidia GTX 1650 has been expected for a while, but more details were only reported recently by the Chinese website Fashaoyou. As mentioned, it is designed based on Nvidia’s Turing technology, specifically the TU117.
Based on the reported specs of the Nvidia GTX 1650Ti, it shares almost all the specs of the GTX 1650 announced earlier this year. But the rumored GPU will have improved CUDA cores at 1,024 compared to the base version’s 896. Another anticipated improvement on the unannounced graphics card is a tad higher texture units at 64 while the base version only has 56.
Much like the Nvidia GTX 1650, the Ti version will reportedly have 1.5 MB of L2 cache, memory bandwidth clocks in at 8GBps, and uses a 4GB GDDR5 for the VRAM.
Meanwhile, there are varying reports about the price of the Nvidia GTX 1650Ti. According to Fashaoyou, it could cost around 1,100 yuan or around $153. That would be a very small change from the base version’s $149 price tag. On the other hand, Wccftech reports the Ti version could cost $179.
All these specs and pricing reports are interesting. However, Nvidia fans are still advised to take with a pinch of salt. The GTX 1650Ti is reportedly getting announced sometime in October.
Nvidia's imports could be halted by a recent lawsuit
On other news, Nvidia is one of the tech companies that could be affected by a lawsuit filed by the American semiconductor company GlobalFoundries against its Asian counterpart Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC). Reuters reports, the plaintiff claims TSMC infringed up to 16 of its patents and were used to produce parts equivalent to “tens of billions of dollars of sales.”
The lawsuit is filed in the United States and Germany, and if GlobalFoundries win it could prevent the importation of tech products with TSMC-manufactured parts. The lawsuit mentioned Nvidia as one of the companies that benefited from the allegedly infringed patents. TSMC has since called the lawsuit “baseless” and promised to fight GlobalFoundries in court.
