14 DAY TRIAL // We almost skipped this product entirely, believing it was the same as the video board we wrote about yesterday (October 8, 2012), but it really is a different card.
Called GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC 1GB (part number GV-N65TOC-1GI), it is quite similar, but only has 1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM instead of two, and the single-fan WindForce cooler.
That's what allows it to sell for 145.32 Euro / $145, instead of 169 Euro / $169.
Spec-wise, the board isn't all that unusual, though with the GPU running at 1032 MHz (faster than the stock 928 MHz) and the memory at 5.4 GHz (over 128-bit interface), it is faster than most other GTX 650 Ti models.
That said, Gigabyte tossed in its Ultra Durable components too (Ferrite Core Choke, Low RDS on MOSFET, All-Solid Capacitors), for extra endurance.
Only pre-orders can be set for now, but shipments should start soon.
