Even when comparing scalper prices, the GeForce GTX 1650's cost is pretty stale than other GPUs you can buy for "just $200" more. For $559 on Newegg (right now), you can buy a brand new XFX Speedster Swft 210 Radeon RX 6600 graphics card that will run circles around any GeForce GTX 1650.

I would hope for just $200 it would be a lot faster.

How on earth is a card this slow, incapable of mining anything useful, selling for $354 on Newegg, by Newegg? I won a shuffle for a 3060 about a month ago for $440. $85 more for a card that will flat out crush a 1650 from the same retailer. Someone in the chain is making a killing on those 1650's, and it is depressing that so many people are buying those cards at such elevated prices.

It is the most sold, most popular is a term used as a lie in this case, certainly not desired nor desirable to a builder/gamer, as it is one of the few cards still somewhat commonly available that doesn't require one to sell a kidney, and it is a placeholder card until things get better.
TH headline is misrepresenting at best.

If you cannot get your hands on anything remotely decent and you need something better than an IGP now on a limited budget, you get whatever you can that meets your absolute minimum requirements.

Doesn't matter that something "much better only costs $200 more" when $300 is already over-budget and the extra performance is non-essential. With some luck, some measure of sanity will return to the lower-end with the RX6400, RTX3050 and Intel's equivalent launches.
