In some sense, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost is an admission of guilt on Nvidia's part. Until now, you couldn't run games in Full HD with the quality settings on high on any GeForce that cost less than $200. Well, the GTX 650 Ti Boost is meant to remedy that, as well as compete with the AMD Radeon HD 7850. The GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost combines most of the essentials from the GTX 660 with a few of the regular GTX 650 Ti's specs thrown in. Just like the GTX 650 Ti, the GPU is a Kepler-generation GK106 with 768 stream processors. But the clock rate—and the overall look—is based on the GTX 660, with 980 MHz, or 1,033 MHz or more using GPU Boost. (The standard GeForce GTX 650 Ti doesn't have GPU Boost, so the clock rate is fixed at 923 MHz.) Another thing borrowed from the GTX 660 is the memory. There are 2 GB of GDDR5 operating at 1,502 MHz on a 192-bit bus. Actually, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost is more of a pared-down GTX 660 than a "boosted" GTX 650 Ti... The GTX 650 Ti Boost uses a 17-centimetre printed circuit board with a turbine fan on the end, bringing the total length to 24 cm. Basically, it looks identical to the GTX 660, GTX 660 Ti and GTX 670.
In the final analysis of our AMD Radeon HD 7790 review, which launched last week, we mentioned that the mainstream GPU landscape would likely change again by the time the 7790 was actually available on store shelves. Although we posted a full review of the card on March 22, they aren't slated to go on sale until April 2. Today we're making it clear why we made that statement about the changing GPU landscape. To counter the just-announced Radeon HD 7790, NVIDIA is already launching a new card of its own, which is somewhat of a cross between the GeForce GTX 650 Ti and GeForce GTX 660. The new GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST that we'll be showing you here today takes the CUDA core and texture unit configuration of the GTX 650 Ti and the memory controller and ROP configuration of the GTX 660 and melds them together on a new product that drops in right between the two in NVIDIA's current GPU lineup. NVIDIA is also doing some rejiggering of its price structure, which makes the company's entire mid-range lineup more affordable.
Last year NVIDIA delivered the GTX 650Ti to provide a product for gamers that wanted to play the latest games but did not necessarily want to break the bank to do it. For that there is the GTX 690 and just released GTX Titan. The GTX 650Ti, meanwhile, proved to be capable of playing the latest DirectX 11 games with some of the eye candy on at a really attractive $150 price point. This made it an attractive upgrade path for those users stuck in older hardware not capable of meeting the needs of games running in a DX 11 environment. NVIDIA's product stack covered pretty much every price/performance point from the top to the bottom, yet there seems to be room in between the GTX 650Ti and the GTX 660 for a new player in the game: the GTX 650Ti Boost. Instead of using the GK107 core like the GTX 650Ti, the GTX 650Ti Boost (confused yet?) is based on the GK106 core that supports a boost clock. That alone is going to boost (pun intended) the performance of the GTX 650Ti Boost to a higher level. Additionally NVIDIA added another gigabyte of VRAM for a total on board of 2GB running through a wider bus for increased memory bandwidth.
Just days after AMD released the HD Radeon 7790 built on a new iteration of the company's Graphics Core Next architecture, Nvidia has released its own new graphics card for the mainstream market - the Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. From our tests, it shows itself to be a potent challenger for AMD's new GPU. The new GTX 650 Ti Boost borrows capabilities and performance from the up-market GTX 660. The end result is a great consumer card at the same price point the GTX 650 Ti formerly occupied. It's our new Editors' Choice for mainstream graphics cards. Unfortunately, all the additional horsepower is hiding under a confusing name. The new GTX 650 Ti Boost is the third graphics card to carry the "GTX 650" designation. There are now three flavors - the Nvidia GTX 650, Nvidia GTX 650 Ti, and GTX 650 Ti Boost. The problem with this nomenclature scheme is that the GTX 650 Ti Boost is much more than just an up-clocked version of the GTX 650 Ti. Here's the full breakdown: The 650 Ti tops out at 925MHz, the TiB is clocked at 980MHz, an increase of 6%.
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. The end result is a card that's much more powerful than the standard GeForce GTX 650, but is priced only slightly higher. Take a gander at the specifications and reference card below and we'll follow up with a look at a trio of custom GeForce GTX 650 Ti cards from a few of NVIDIA's board partners and a full performance profile on the pages ahead...
Over the past six months NVIDIA has steadily launched cards in the Kepler product stack seemingly every month. A pretty ambitious goal to say the least. Having looked at all of the cards in the GTX product stack from the recently introduced GTX 660 Ti and GTX 660 all the way on up to the top of the line GTX 690, it has proven to be an interesting year for NVIDIA. With each launch a new segment of the market has been able to take advantage of all that the Kepler architecture has to offer including 3DVision, PhysX, Adaptive VSync, and TXAA - a new anti-aliasing algorithm designed to reduce temporal aliasing. Released just three and a half weeks ago, the GK106-based GTX 660 and GK107-based GTX 650 brought Keplar to the $250 and $120 price points. With the GTX 650 Ti the GTX product stack is fully fleshed out with a card that targets the $150 price point putting a Kepler-based product in every price/performance target. With each successive launch the performance and price of entry have dropped to fit into a specific price/performance envelope. ==
