The GTX 660 might be the entry-level flagship of the latest Kepler set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most budget PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 650 Ti Boost is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 169. NVIDIA ’s xx50 cards have always been defined by budget prices with performance that knocks on the door of entry-level graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Kepler graphics card inside the GTX 650 Ti Boost, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

Spec for spec, this GTX 650 Ti Boost leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 550 Ti, by boasting 51.3 % more fps. The GTX 650 Ti Boost has 2 GB RAM compared to the GTX 550 Ti 's 1 GB video memory.

In our synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 650 Ti Boost blows past the GTX 550 Ti and, amazingly, even the GTX 560 as well. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 650 Ti Boost consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 550 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, HD 7850, the GTX 650 Ti Boost was -13.5 % slower.
