A GTX480 is better than a 650ti

[Matthew]

My friend seems to this that the 650ti is better than the 480, from all of the benchmarks and 3dmark scores i've showed him, the 480 is better. The only thing the 650ti is better at is power consumption.

The 480 is miles away better for gaming.

the gtx 480 when it was released was a top tier gaming graphics card.

the gtx 650 ti was released as a sub-entry level gaming graphics card.

now while the gtx 480 is older it's not so old that it is now overcome by an entry level card.

gtx 480 runs circles around the gtx 650 ti.

Passmark is a terrible benchmark.

According to graphs from nVidia themselves the GTX 480 performance lies between the 560 Ti & the 570, while being slightly closer to the 570 rather than the 560Ti .

GTX 650 Ti has identical performance to the 560Ti.

So the 480 is just slightly faster.

GTX 650 ti is not the same as 560 Ti but a non-Ti 560, all in all 480 is better, but 480 sucks power, and outputs a lot of heat, so try saving up for a 660 or a ti version

I stand corrected .
