There are other improvements over the standard GTX 650 Ti too. Nvidia's GTX 660 once again demonstrates a tangible.

GeForce Windows 10 Driver. NVIDIA has been working closely with Microsoft on the. GeForce GTX 660, GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST, GeForce GTX 650 Ti, GeForce. Nvidia’s GTX 650 Ti makes too many compromises for a $170 games-oriented graphics card October 6, 2014 – 17:55.

The war has begun and battle is being waged. AMD started this particular battle with their HD 7790. NVIDIA is here today hoping to win it with their newest addition to the Kepler line – the NVIDIA GTX 650 Ti BOOST.

As evident in AMD’s slides, the HD 7790 was aimed at the GTX 650 Ti. Now it gets more interesting. NVIDIA has introduced GPU BOOST (v.1.0) to its GTX 650 Ti in the hopes of enticing those all-important mainstream 1080p gamers. Can NVIDIA take the day?

Let’s find out! Specifications & Features The GTX 650 Ti BOOST uses the same GK106 GPU contained in the GTX 660. The GPU in the GTX 650 Ti BOOST is reduced to 768 CUDA cores and 64 texture units (versus 960 & 80, respectively on the GTX 660). Both GPUs have 24 ROPs. While the GPU is cut down a bit, it operates at the same 980 MHz base / 1033 MHz boost as the GTX 660. The new GPU’s TDP is 134 W. Memory is also identical, with 2 GB of GDDR5 operating at 1502 Mhz (6008 MHz quad-pumped) with a 192-bit interface.

There will also be 1 GB versions available. NVIDIA Says Target Users Upgrade Less Often This graph is a bit more relevant, comparing the GTX 650 Ti BOOST with the HD 7850 in NVIDIA’s internal testing. You also see the target for this GPU is not, in fact, the HD 7790 that came out last week, but the HD 7850, which hints at its pricing. The GTX 650 Ti BOOST with 2 GB of memory (as tested in this review) has an MSRP of $169.

That may increase depending on board partner choices like overclock and cooler, but that’s the base pricing. That said, they do expect to release a 1 GB version in April that has an MSRP of $149, just like the HD 7790. Did I mention a war was being waged?

HD 7850 In our conference call, NVIDIA also says their open beta of the GeForce Experience is getting positive feedback. They say they’ve even tweaked the experience based on user feedback. If you’re not familiar with it, GeForce Experience is a program that will monitor your PC’s GeForce driver version and notify you when upgrades are available. More importantly, it can automatically set games’ video settings to match your system’s performance level. Most overclockers prefer to set their own settings, but if you want to give it a try, check out the. NVIDIA GTX 650 Ti BOOST Test Setup Our test setup includes a 4.0 GHz i7 3770K with memory clocked at DDR3-1866 / 9-9-9-24. Competition comes courtesy AMD and NVIDIA above and below the GTX 650 Ti BOOST’s price range.

We are in the process of reviewing a newer HD 7870 and a HD 7850 is on the way for review as well, so you’ll get those numbers in the future. NVIDIA GTX 650 Ti BOOST Installed Installed on the Maximus IV Extreme, it’s not a bad look for a reference card at all. Cooler Performance & Power Consumption The GTX 650 Ti BOOST comes in right where it should, with cooler performance very similar to its slightly more powerful GTX 660 brother. Temperature wise, it just doesn’t compare to the HD 7790, but neither does the cooler itself, so that’s to be expected. Being a blower-style cooler, it definitely doesn’t compare to the acoustics of the partner-designed cooling on the HD 7790.

While the latter couldn’t ever be heard over my under-volted radiator fans, it was pretty obvious when this cooler kicked in. That said, it’s not really a fair comparison, because that was a partner-designed cooler and this one isn’t designed to compete with it. Power Consumption It fits right where it should in the power consumption chart. While it’s not as efficient as AMD’s latest offering, if it out-performs it, that wattage might be forgiven. We’ll just have to see. Overclocking Overclocking comes to us courtesy of EVGA’s PrecisionX.
