NVIDIA will release the GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card tomorrow, so, naturally, some of the OEM-made models have been leaked, like Zotac's trio and, now, this Gigabyte board.

Called GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2 GB WindForce OC, it bears the dual-fan, dual-slot cooler that gives it its name (WindForce 2X) and a higher performance than the baseline GTX 650 Ti.

That means 1,032 MHz GPU clock speed (rather than 925 MHz) and 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM on a 128-bit interface (rather than 1 GB).

Ultra Durable components are present and accounted for as well (better card stability and longer lifespan).

As for the price, it is of 169 Euro, or $169, give or take. The source says this is 24 Euro more than the reference card, which puts the default tag at 145 Euro / $145.

This card is probably the most quiet card I've had. I get maybe 1-5fps more than my old GTX 560 1GB.
Idle temps are 30C, load temps in games it's always below 50C (which means when playing BF3, Sniper Elite V2 etc) only game with high settings which have ever gone over 50C is Empire Total War, max temp 54C in high graphics and resolution. Really good card, even if it might not be the absolute best card for the 'performance' at this pricerange.
