This GeForce GTX 650 MSI 1GB graphics card is considered budget with poor modern game performance when playing anything more demanding than indie game requirements.

Capable of running games with up to a DirectX 11 requirement.

This low performing GPU is unable to play any of the most demanding games available today.

How many years will the GeForce GTX 650 MSI 1GB graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the GeForce GTX 650 MSI 1GB in your PC? You should definitely consider replacing this GeForce GTX 650 MSI 1GB graphics card, if it is still in your gaming PC.

GeForce GTX 650 MSI 1GB Game Requirement Analysis

GeForce GTX 650 MSI 1GB is a special edition of the fast-middle-class GeForce GTX 650 1GB.
This special edition comes with a custom cooling solution called Propeller Blade Technology, which generates 20% more airflow than traditional fan design, according to MSI and no other change that affects performance directly.
Therefore, its gaming performance is exactly like the reference GeForce GTX 650 1GB and that the most demanding games (Metro 2033, The Witcher II, etc) still require reduced settings while modern demanding games (Battlefield 3, Max Payne 3) are playable at high settings but not paired with extreme resolutions.

I bought the PNY version of this card and OC'd it to the same speeds of the GTX 650 Ti. As in terms of memory clock. The core clock is better ahn the Ti version.
