”The GTX 650 Ti provides excellent performance for a $149 card and soundly beats even the overclocked Sapphire Vapor-X HD 7770 across the board. Overclockability is good and scaling is excellent. The cooling design is quiet and efficient.“
“Ultimately, to NVIDIA’s credit the GTX 650 Ti is a perfectly competent card at 1680x1050, which is right where you’d expect a 650 series part to be. The performance is right for that segment and the power consumption taken in light of the 7850 is very impressive.”
“You know what really struck me as I was testing the MSI GTX N650 Ti Power Edition video card? The fact that, for $160, you can get a graphics card that will play pretty much any game you want. Now, you might have to tune down the settings a little, but you'll be able to play with great success and with great graphics to boot.”
”Let’s first talk about the standard GeForce GTX 650 Ti with 1 GB memory. On the games we used in this review, this new video card was between 8% and 39% faster than its main competitor, the Radeon HD 7770, and between 12% and 50% faster than the video card it comes to replace, the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. Costing only USD 150, we believe the new GeForce GTX 650 Ti is an outstanding video card for the average user.“
“Budget Gamers it’s time to rejoice! There is finally a video card worthy of upgrading to, it will lift you from the DirectX 9 dark ages, breathe life into your old machine and dazzle you with eye candy you have never seen before. Make your choice the Price Performace per Watt leader: the NVIDIA GTX 650Ti.”
“Overall though, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti is an interesting product. It may not be the highest performing solution throughout its entire price range, but the card’s small form factor, friendly power consumption characteristics, and cool and quiet operation are all pluses in our book.”
"When the GTX 650 Ti came in, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean, my wife ran over and started talking about how cute the card was because of its size. From past experience, cute doesn’t normally come with any performance so you can understand my surprise when the GTX 650 Ti stepped up and played everything I threw at it very smoothly."
“At the end of the day the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti is a great graphics card that is priced at $150. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti is powerful, small and budget friendly.”
”If your cup of tea game is Star Craft 2, World Of Warcraft, or many other RTS/RPG games you will find the GTX 650 Ti to be a solid choice and will perform just fine for you with a little bit of headroom to spare. The top FPS titles like Battlefield 3 and Max Payne 3 are able to be played at medium settings at 1920X1080 and play just great“
”All in all the GTX 650 Ti is a blast. At the $149 price point if offers up a level of performance that will allow the user on a budget to move up from hardware as new as last year's Fermi-based GTX 550 Ti and see a performance boost of around 1.5x. When compared to even older cards such as the 9600GT the performance bump can reach as high as five times. Even with the recent price drops from AMD, the GTX 650 Ti is going to provide great value. It fills out the low end of the Kepler product stack impressively and is priced competitively.”
“We continue to be impressed by NVIDIA’s Kepler products, and the Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti OC continues that trend, providing respectable horsepower and boasting low temperatures and noise levels at a price point that we think will entice gamers on a modest budget.”
“The GeForce GTX 650 Ti offers the best performance at its price point, with average frame rates that outclass the Radeon HD 6850. The Radeon HD 7770 is beaten even more soundly. Conservative power, heat, and noise measurements make the card easy to live with and build an entry-level gaming system around, too.”
