This review is from: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Power Edition 1GB GDDR5 OC 2DVI/Mini HDMI PCI-Express Video Card N650TI PE 1GD5/OC (Personal Computers) So I had a Radeon 6950 go kaput on me and decided to jump to a less power hungry (and thus cooler) option. I also wanted a quiet option that would still perform respectably on current and older games. I was considering the GTX 660, but I decided to go for a less expensive option this time, considering I was already eating money on the 6950. The GTX 650 ti is just a pared down 660 anyways.

If you're on a budget with a mid-range PC, keep reading.For the money, this is an excellent video card. Is it as good as a $300 - $400 model? of course not. Does it let you play all of today's current PC games on medium settings? Absolutely! You get to play today's games for half and almost a third the price of the high end models. Even though this model is inexpensive, you can tell just by holding it, its a quality made video card. The heat sink is big and beautiful and keeps things running COOL. The temperature on the card when I'm browsing the net or watching movies is only 28 Celsius. Under load while playing Black Ops 2, Hitman Absolution, and WoW MoP, the... Read more |
