(US) Refurbished Gigabyte 650 Ti Boost Windforce 2GB 115$ New Egg

[DJHoro]

Newegg Has Refurbished Gigabyte 650 Ti Boosts for only 115$! 2GB model with dual fans! For this price this cards a steal. The 650 Ti Boost is actually a good entry level gaming card that performs similarly to a 750 Ti. You can google benchmarks. Getting two of these in SLI can perform equal to or better than a GTX 770 in games and the cost would be about what you pay for a 760! You also get a free 256MB ATi FireMX 2250 Graphic card with your purchase (Oh the irony).

Just remember its refurbished and this card is only capable of 2 way SLI. You CANT SLI 3. Also if you have never ran SLI please make sure to look up the pros and cons.

 

 

Edit: Clearing up some confusion. Don't confuse a 650 Ti with a 650 Ti Boost. They are not the same Card. The Boost is more like the GTX 660 than a 650 TI. The cards are completely different.

Or you can get a NEW card for $25 dollars more that's a LOT faster.

The 650 Ti has 768 shaders/CUDAs while the 750 Ti has 640. The 650 Ti is a fraction better.

That's not how you should judge graphics cards.

 

The 750Ti performs better than the 650Ti in terms of FPS, by about 25% or so. In addition, it consumes far less power, and you get to brag you have a Maxwell card.

I was meant to say that it was better in some applications, maybe not in gaming.

From the benchmarks I've seen they perform pretty similar in games. The 650 Ti boost has an 192 bit memory bus vs the 750 Ti's 128 Bit and much higher memory bandwidth. The 750 Ti also cant SLI. The 750 Ti does use way less power and produces much less heat though (not that the 650 ti boost runs hot. the 750 ti is just that cool). To each his own I guess.

 

 

Edit: I just realized you were referring to a regular 650 Ti and not the Boost. The 650 Ti and 650 Ti Boosts are completely different cards. The Boost is actually more of a watered down 660 than a fixed up 650 Ti. Infact specs have you believe that the 650 Ti Boost IS a 660 with less cores.

Same reply I gave daemonowner above.

The shader count, aka, cuda cores, aka SMX's are 1 of the main ways to cross compare performance without having to look at charts.

 

However, since the GTX 750Ti is a Maxwell architecture, the shader clusters are now much quicker, so the cross compare of shaders is no longer viable from previous iterations of Nvidia architechture w/o a bit of math involved.

 

"Nvidia claims a 128 CUDA core SMM has 90% of the performance of a 192 CUDA core SMX.^[2]"

650ti boost wrecks the 750ti in becnhmarks. It's closest competitor is the R9 270 which on average is about 60-70 more dollars then this so if you are okay with going refurb this is an amazing deal for an entry level card.
