TDP is very high when its competition(7790) draws under 100W.

Also why do Nvidia insist on using 2GB of ram on a 192bit bus? just use 1.5GB and pass the savings onto the customer FFS.

It should be faster than the 7790, but I doubt it will be by a large enough margin to justify the 65% higher TDP. That said, let's wait to see how much it actually draws in practice, it might not be that much.

As for the 2GB memory, well, marketing.

GTX 650 Ti BOOST already supported in 314.22 WHQL drivers.

NVIDIA_DEV.11C2 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST"

I can't imagine the power difference wouldn't be much. This is not like a boosted 650Ti, rather a GTX 660 with one smx disabled. Exactly all the same clocks (including turbo), presumably same pcb and everything (and since the clocks are the same I'd have to guess voltages will be as well). And there's like a a 40W difference in actual use between gtx660 and (non-OC) 7790, sure one smx less probably gets this down to like 30W but that would still be quite a bit.

NVIDIA Price Drops - GTX 650 Ti & GTX 660 2GB

Hi Guys,

NVIDIA has dropped prices on GTX 650 Ti & GTX 660s. Due in tomorrow morning, grab a bargain! These prices now make NVIDIA very competitive again, especially the GTX 660 priced near or at HD 7850 prices!!

Hallelujah!

Edit:
3 Year Warranty (extended to 10 Years Warranty from €16 if the card is registered with EVGA within 30 days of purchase)

Please, reconsider your way of posting images. What does it cost to you to use appropriate resolution for a slide which basically contains only text information? :headbang:

650 Ti Boost reviews are up. As you might expect, it's not competing particularly well with the 7850.

Since the forum automatically resizes them, I don't see the problem.

 

[UniversalTruth]

The forum doesn't show them in appropriate size either. Plus- if you have limited or slow internet connection, you still have to wait to download all of the crap.

So, please, think.

wow, if i was ever think see this, graphs showing a 2008 card compared to the 2013 one for entry level gamer cards.

Yeah, someone should make a TDP version of it for a laugh.

Nice to see the price drops though, prices have been stagnant for several months.

What are you talking about?

I have a 22" monitor and even with 150% Firefox magnification DSC's pictures view fine on it without any scrolling.

Maybe the problem you are having is on your end.

From Tom's Review:

Nvidia's GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost matches its principal competition, AMD's Radeon HD 7850. On average, it's even a tiny bit faster in the titles we used for testing. At first blush, then, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost looks like a solid contender against the Pitcairn-based board we've been recommending for months now.

---

With the Radeon HD 7770 at $120, Radeon HD 7790 at $150, and Radeon HD 7850 above $180, Nvidia is rendering all three products ineffectual at their respective price points. With one swift stroke, the company engineered a hostile takeover of the $100-$200 market, increasing graphics performance at any given budget in that space. We're particularly excited about the price/performance of a $150 GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 1 GB. Family-wide reorganizations like this remind us of the days when fierce competition took the GeForce 8800 GT under $200.

 

[Alexko]

The Tech Report has a slightly different take on it:

Right now, the Radeon HD 7850 2GB offers equivalent performance per dollar to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost according to our 99th-percentile metric. It consumes less power, as well, which makes it easier to cool quietly. Last, but not least, it comes with a much more tantalizing game bundle: Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite. Given those factors alone, the Radeon looks like the better choice—even if you have to pay a $10 premium over the vanilla GTX 650 Ti Boost.

Liаr. On my monitor with the same size those images occupy the whole space.
Don't forget that you are not alone and there are people with smartphones or tablets trying to read.

In any case, as a 7850 competitor the GTX 650 Ti Boost is nothing amazing – its price and performance are close to the 7850, a card that has been sitting at its current price for months now – meaning it fills its intended role as a slightly cheaper, slightly slower 7850 competitor, but nothing more. If we had to pick between the two of them the 7850 does look a bit better due to its slightly higher performance and lower power consumption, but most buyers should be happy with either one.

Now considering you can pick up a 7850 1GB for the same performance and less cash, and the Reloaded bundle...

Your problem is your problem.

I in fact can see DSC's complete pictures without scrolling on my 22" Dell Widescreen Monitor (1680x1050) with FireFox 19.0.2 using NoSquint 2.1.6 set to 150% magnification.

And whats up with the childish name calling?

Look to the forum options in your control panel! You can set to which size pictures should be rescaled (default is a width of 800 pixels and unrestricted height).
