Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti DirectCU II TOP

ASUS GTX 650 Ti DirectCU II TOP Edition Review

Nvidia just launched the 650 Ti chipset and with that we have the partner models as well. With us today we have the top limited model from ASUS in the GTX 650 Ti DirectCU II TOP Edition card. This card is the top of the heap when it comes to the ASUS models and now lets see if it has the performance to match. The ASUS GTX 650 Ti DirectCU II TOP is the best of the best when it comes to ASUS models. Nvidia gave us the 650 Ti GPU which is the heart of this card. Just to be clear, this GPU is made for budget gamers who are looking for something that can play high end games at medium/high settings at a very reasonable value. The reference model carries 1GB GDDR5 framebuffer piped through a 128 Bit memory bus, the ASUS TOP model carries the same memory size and interface. The 650 Ti TOP hits the market at a MSRP of $179.99 and is a pretty limited card. The price is a bit above the similarly clocked and higher memory (2GB) Gigabyte OC variant so lets take a look at what the ASUS card has to offer to make it worth your while. Here we see what the ASUS GTX 650 Ti DCII TOP has to contend with and there is some stiff competition here especially with the similar clocked Gigabyte model sporting twice the available VRAM.
