You can get the 1650 that runs with 75W. There's even a passive model out there, the Palit KalmX.

I refuse to buy a GPU with extra power connectors.

The difference between these two is rather small, despite 4 years difference. 1050Ti delivers about 2TFlops, 1650 about 2.6 TFlops. Other specs (VRAM bandwidth, fillrate) are pretty close as well.

Generally, I only upgrade components when I can get at least 2x improvement.

Yes that's fair. I did the upgrade from the 750 Ti and skipped the 1050 Ti for the same reason.
