In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Power Edition OC 1GB are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Gigabyte OC 4GB Edition.
The GTX 650 has a 117 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 650 Ti, but the GTX 650 Ti has 32 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 650. As a result, the GTX 650 Ti exhibits a 28.1 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 650. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 650 has a 117 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 650 Ti and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 650 providing 1.9 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 650 Ti was released less than a year after the GTX 650, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The GTX 650 has 3072 MB more video memory than the GTX 650 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the GTX 650 Ti has superior memory performance.
The GTX 650 Ti has 6.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 650, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 650 Ti is marginally better than the GTX 650.
The GeForce GTX 650 Gigabyte OC 4GB Edition has 384 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Power Edition OC 1GB has 768. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 650 is 426 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 650 Ti is 763. The GTX 650 Ti having 337 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 650 Ti delivers a noticeably smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 650.
We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the GTX 650.

| Mini Review | GeForce GTX 650 Gigabyte OC 2GB Edition is a special edition of the fast-middle-class GeForce GTX 650. This special edition comes overclocked out of the box to 1110MHz and features a custom-designed 10 cm cooler. It also features a 4GB frame buffer but it's known extra memory does not benefit this GPU in any way and so that feature is useless. Benchmarks indicate a 4% performance boost when compared to the reference card and so this GPU is suitable for medium to high settings on most demanding games but not with extreme resolutions. | GeForce GTX 650 Ti Power Edition OC 1GB is a special edition of the fast-middle-class GeForce GTX 650 Ti. This edition features a new and better cooling system called Cyclone II Thermal Design with Dust Removal technology and an increase in the central clock that went from 928MHz to 993MHz. The Memory clock was left untouched. The overclocking is relevant and benchmarks indicate there's a 4% boost when compared to the reference GeForce GTX 650 Ti. | |||
