Grabbed this card for a budget build and decided to do another mini-review.  Much of the data below is taken from my previous review of the GTX 650 non Ti, here.

    Data was taken at a low res for testing on budget rig in the previous review.  I ran these new tests at same settings for an apples-to-apples comparison.  There are plenty of reviews out there at normal res...

    For an 80xx WU
    GTX460 at 763 MHz = 14.8k PPD
    GTX650Ti at 1071 MHz = 11.4k PPD
    GTX650 at 1201 MHz = 6.6k PPD
    GT430 at 700 MHz = 3.6k PPD 
      
    This card beats the 460 handily save for folding... looking forward to an optimized Kepler folding core.

    That is such a cool little card.  So tiny!  From reviews I've read it beats a GTX 560 in gaming - would be great for a low power, light gaming build.

    damn dude from your review its pretty much one of the best bargain cards out there (unless the 7870/7850 is around that price).

    Yeah, I fired up BF3 running same machine/settings as my 670FTW (Ultra everything, 4X AA, HBAO, 85 FOV) and it did 35-60 fps.  Turned off MSAA and it ran a healthy 45-70 fps.  All this on a 1920 x 1080 panel.  Not bad for a mid-budget gamer.  It was very playable.

    thx, great review!
    Is there any coil noise (whine) under load?

    Good question... I forgot to mention that there was some whine at the start of folding but for some reason went away or became inaudible.  Will keep testing.  So far with Crunching (World Community Grid) the card is quiet, and didn't make a sound while benching or playing BF3.

    Very much appreciate the PhysX comparison in Batman!  Looks like a measurable gain over the 650 (non-Ti), although for the price difference I think I'd just so soon stick with the 650.
     
    Great work, though!  Very much appreciated!!
