The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Review, Feat. Gigabyte, Zotac, & EVGA

Because all of our GTX 650 Ti cards hit the same clockspeeds when overclocking, there’s absolutely nothing to meaningfully separate them from one-another when it comes to gaming performance. The real difference was in their power consumption, temperatures, and fan noise.
With that in mind, the performance improvement is nothing short of astonishing. Between the 27% core overclock and the 22% memory overclock we’re looking at performance gains in the range of 20-25%. This isn’t enough to catch the GTX 660, but it’s enough to improve performance in a number of situations, including making 1920x1200 playable more often. It goes without saying that this is also enough to catch up to the stock 7850 in those scenarios where the 7850 isn’t leading by more than 25%.

Can't we all just get along?I have to admit I am a AMD fan. If it was not for AMD we would not have any competition with Intel, And we would still be paying $2,000-$3,000 grand for computers. I have a Diamond ATI 5850 which I loved. For the last 3 years it has played every game I purchased. Well one day it went out on me. (I did abuse it however) Anyway I got me a used PNY 9800 GTX+ to use untill I could buy a new card. I was impressed by the old 9800 GTX+ It was performing very well almost as good as the 5850. After that I had respect for Nvidia cards. When the time came to buy my new card I looked up 7700s from AMD and the 650-660 from Nvidia. Well the best performance for price I found was the MSI 650 TI, It was at a lower price than the AMD cards. I got the card for $114 and a $25 rebate, So $98 bucks was the final price. That was a deal I could not pass up. I am also very pleased with the 650ti's performance.
The system the card is in (below)
