Vortez: GIGABYTE GTX 650Ti OC Review
As an entry level GPU, the GTX650Ti is a card which needs to strike a fine balancing act between price and performance. Too much and people will inevitably spend their money elsewhere. If too many cuts have been made then performance may suffer. In some ways, an entry level card is presents more of a quandary to the manufacturers than a flagship 'cost no objective' graphics card. Add to this the fact that many budget gamers looking to break into the DirectX 11 gaming arena will not have huge enclosures nor massive power supplies and the headache soon turns into a migraine. So the question has to be asked: Have GIGABYTE managed to create a balanced card? Is this the entry level card you should go for?

Vortez: ZOTAC GTX650 Ti AMP! Review
NVIDIA claim that enthusiasts change their graphics card solutions every three years and with this in mind, the GTX650 Ti is aimed at users who own the 9600 GT, which is now over four years old. Claims of a 5x performance boost are heralded by NVIDIA who also claim the GTX650 Ti out performs last year's GTX550 Ti by 1.5x, not a bad performance boost at all considering the GTX650 utilises DirectX 11 enhancements something the 9600 GT is incapable of. Today though we will be concentrating on today's most recent graphics cards available and will be comparing the GTX650Ti to these, specifically the AMD HD7770, it's direct competitor to see which is best for you, allowing you to make the most informed decision when purchasing.

OCC: ASUS GTX 650 Ti DirectCU II TOP Review
Overclocking results were impressive as well: 1255MHz core and 1463MHz memory from 1033MHz and 1350MHz respectively! The two diagnostic LEDs near the 6-pin PCIe power connection should help users and technical support in trouble shooting any issues relating to power. The ASUS GPU Tweak software seems really useful and worked well at overclocking and monitoring the graphics card. With the four outputs available almost everyone should be able to plug the card in and run it. Only three outputs can be used for NVIDIA Surround Technology though.

OCC: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 650Ti Review
Overclocking on the GTX 650Ti proved to be a fun experience as the card just kept scaling upwards and delivered a 30% boost in core clock speed to 1228MHz or 303MHz over the baseline 925MHz. If the core can clock like this it should leave room for the AIB partners to really deliver some highly clocked non-reference designs to go along with some of the excellent cooling solutions seen on the first page. Without the benefit of GPU Boost the clock speeds were easily set without having to worry where the clock speeds would eventually fall to as the power limits were reached. Memory overclocking was not as great at 1493MHz or just under the rated speed for the Hynix modules used on this board. Even so the modules delivered a 10+% or 143MHz boost in speed to 1493MHz. By tweaking the clock speeds I saw gaming performance improvements across the whole of the testing suite that dropped in the 20 to 28%+ range. Pretty solid increases and overclocking stones for a little mini-me sized video card if I do say so myself.

Hi Tech Legion: ASUS GeForce GTX 650Ti DirectCU II TOP Review
The ASUS GTX 650Ti TOP video card comes out of the box with the highest core clock on ASUS' 650Ti stable, clocking in at 1033MHz. The ASUS GTX 650Ti TOP also utilizes the DirectCU II cooling design, equipped with a pair of 80mm fans and direct contact heatpipes. ASUS has also applied their DIGI+ VRM and Super Alloy Power technologies for a much more efficient and stable overclocking experience on the GTX 650Ti. These technologies also ensure that the ASUS GTX 650Ti DirectCU II TOP video card has a long operating life and ASUS guarantees 3 years of warranty to ease user concerns, just in case.

HotHardware.com: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Round-Up: EVGA, ZOTAC, Gigabyte
NVIDIA has been on a tear as of late, releasing a constant stream of GPUs over the last few weeks. In mid-August, the GPU giant released the GeForce GTX 660 Ti and less than a month later, followed up with the GeForce GTX 660 and GeForce GTX 650. Here we are now, less than a month since that release and NVIDIA is at the ready again with yet another new GPU called the GeForce GTX 650 Ti.

As its name implies, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti is a step up from the standard "non-Ti" GeForce GTX 650. The new GeForce GTX 650 Ti, however, isn't powered by the same GPU as the GTX 650. Whereas the GeForce GTX 650 has a GK107 GPU at its heart, the new GeForce GTX 650 Ti uses the same GK106 as the higher-end GTX 660 series cards, albeit with a few blocks of the chip disabled...

Benchmark Reviews: MSI GTX N650Ti Power Edition Video Card
The final iteration of NVIDIA's Kepler GPUs is now upon us. The GTX 650Ti, which is technically closer related to the GTX 660 than the actual GTX 650 itself, is about to fill in the final gap in Kepler GPU chart. The GTX 650Ti is being positioned as an affordable GPU meant to allow all gamers to have the same Kepler benefits that may have previously been out of reach. Here at Benchmark Reviews, we have the MSI GEFORCE GTX 650Ti Power Edition 1GD5/OC video card on hand and we have put it through its paces. In the following article, we will strip down the MSI GTX 650Ti Power Edition video card and test it against a wide variety of other graphics cards to show you just where it stands.

Guru3D: GeForce GTX 650 Ti review - NVIDIA - MSI
In this review we check out the NVIDIA reference GeForce GTX 650 Ti. This product is launched to fill a gap inbetween the Radeon HD 7770 and Radeon HD 7850. Aimed at a pricetag of roughly Euro 119.00 excl. VAT This product comes with 768 shader processors, and that fact alone should make it s good chunk faster then the regular GTX 650 model.

Benchmark Reviews: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Video Card
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX series traditionally offers enthusiast-level performance with features like multi-card SLI pairing and GPU Boost application-driven variable overclocking technology. The GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card keeps with tradition in terms of performance by offering the capable GK106 GPU with 768 CUDA cores, but skips past some of the top-end extras. Nevertheless, NVIDIA Kepler GPU architecture delivers additional proprietary features such as: 3D Vision, Adaptive Vertical Sync, multi-display Surround, PhysX, and TXAA antialiasing. In this article Benchmark Reviews tests the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card with DirectX 11 video games.

Hi Tech Legion: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650Ti Video Card Review
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650Ti video card's core clock is set to 925 MHz, has 768 CUDA cores and 4 SMX cores. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650Ti is built with low power consumption in mind, it's max TDP is only 110W with a gaming TDP of about 80W and requires one 6-pin PCIe power connector. To keep temperatures cool, there is one 100mm low noise fan which (in our testing) puts out approx. 29dB. The GTX 650Ti's Kepler (GK107) design GPU is 28nm and has 2.54 billion transistors. The NVIDIA Geforce GTX 650Ti is built for the budget gamer and has a starting price of $149.99.
