Summary graphs

First, let’s see how much slower Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB is when compared to  GeForce GTX 660 2GB at default lock speed:

Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 and GeForce GTX

Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 and GeForce GTX

The distance is very large. GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB is averagely slower from 37% to 40% than GeForce GTX 660 when the full-screen anti-aliasing feature is off and on respectively. The difference in price between them is 37%. The 2-GB version of GTX 650 Ti is not much better, through the system scoring; the extra 1-GB memory doesn’t offer any different benefit.

It’s interesting to find out the differences between the original GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB with GeForce GT 640:

GTX 650 Ti 1GB with GeForce GT 640

GTX 650 Ti 1GB with GeForce GT 640

The lower-end graphics card is only a half as fast as its cousin. After all, GeForce GTX 650 Ti doesn’t break any records about performance itself, GeForce GT 640 is surely not a product for gaming. It’s better to use it for multimedia computer or simply use as an adaptor for the output of the 2D images to 1 or several displays.

Being a little more expensive, Radeon HD 7850 can’t compete with GeForce GTX 650 Ti directly. However, we want to compare the fastest GTX 650 Ti graphics cards with it: Zotac GeForce GTX 650 Ti  AMP! Edition 2GB with Saphhire Radeon HD 7850 2GB.

Zotac GeForce GTX 650 2GB with Saphhire Radeon HD 7850 2GB

Radeon HD 7850 is the better one in all test sessions including the favorite Lost Planet 2 app of Nvidia. The platform solution of AMD is 24% averagely faster than the Nividia platform without FSAA and 27% with FSAA. The difference in the retail price between the simplest Radeon HD 7850 product and Zotac is 10%, so the former is more dominant.

Having more expensive price, GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB defeats Radeon HD 7770 1GB:

GeForce are always ahead of about 14 or 15% in all games, but Radeon HD 777 may challenge them in some tests.   

Conclusion

To the performance of GeForce GTX 650 Ti

We’re not really impressed with the working performance of these graphics cards when testing with games. Yes, they have adequate price, because its performance is somewhere in the range between Radeon HD 7850 2GB and Radeon HD 7770 1GB. But the question here is: in this case, who will be the actual rival of GeForce GTX 650 Ti? Users with bigger budget will definitely prefer Radeon Hd 7850 and the ones with smaller budget will choose Radeon HD 7770 and even a GeForce GT 640 graphics card that is not meant for gaming. As we have seen today, there’s no opinion that agree buying a more expensive version with 2-GB memory because extra memory doesn’t make them run faster. So, GTX 650 Ti with low price and modest performance can’t stand a chance when competing with Radeon HD 7850; and the latter product can’t also be expected to be cheaper in the near future. Radeon HD 7770 is cheaper than GTX 650 Ti 1 GB, so we don’t expect any changes in price.

To the GeForce GT 640

Only a half as fast as GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB, this graphics card is not proportionally cheaper. It only allows you to experience the games at 1,280x 1,024 and with medium image quality settings, even in games that are not pretty new. As for the current standard resolution at 1,920x1,080, GeForce GT 640 can offer results that are no more than 20 fps apart from some exceptions. And it’s not faster 10 fps at the latest games. So, this product is not recommended for the gamers. Though, it can be used as a connector, especially as, like the products from Kepler, it allows connecting to 4 displays at the same time.

To the products that participate in the test

Except the original version from Nvidia, we have discussed the 3 unique versions of GeForce GTX 650 Ti from EVGA, Gigabyte and Zotac. Each has different nature. The graphics card from EVGA has then fastest GPU speed, which is at 1072 MHz, high overclocking capability and the lowest price thanks to the 1GB memory. The 2GB product of Gigabyte features with an efficient and the least noise-making cooler, in addition with having an extra D-Sub port. The sturdy product from Zotac is released with a pre-overclocked GPU and memory, becoming the fastest GTX 650 Ti among 4 samples. In other words, all of them have many common similarities such as: PCB, memory chipset, DVI interface, accompanying accessories, warranty and the equivalent overclocking capability. Therefore, there are a lot of good options to consider, if you want to have a GeForce GTX 650 Ti.
