rajeesh Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 We were quite a bit disappointed to find out here that Nvidia’s new GeForce GTX 650 video card is nothing more than a GT 640 with GDDR5 memory. The company is apparently going to use a different chip for its Ti version. Therefore the new GeForce GTX 650 Ti is reportedly powered by Nvidia’s Kepler-based GK106 silicon. This chip is made in the same 28 nm manufacturing process at TSMC just like the GK104 and AMD’s Tahiti. GK106 has 960 CUDA cores inside and that almost three times the raw power when compared with the plain GTX 650. The card features a rather short PCB that comes fitted with 1GB or 2GB of GDDR5 memory working on a tight 128-bit BUS. This means that playing games at very high resolutions and high AA settings is likely out of the question, but it should be decent in FullHD at medium quality settings. http://news.softpedia.com/news/GeForce-GTX-650-Ti-Specifications-Revealed-New-GPU-with-Good-Performance-284394.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguyhunk Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 560ti was the price/performance sweet spot. The 660/660ti will continue to take that forward for 1080p or more. Nobody really needs a 670/680 or something for a single monitor setup, even for a 1920x1200 monitor unless you're truly feeling flush :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
