None of them has the same clock speed as NVIDIA's reference board

We know that NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card will be released on October 9, but that isn't stopping the company's partners from, directly or indirectly, revealing their custom models.

After spotting cards from Micro-Star International and Galaxy, we now get to see the full range of adapters that Zotac will reportedly ship starting tomorrow.

In order of capability, they are called Zotac GTX 650 Ti 1GB, Zotac GTX 650 Ti 2GB and Zotac GTX 650 Ti 2GB AMP! Edition.

The first one has the GK106 graphics processing units running at 941 MHz and the 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clock at 5,400 MHz.

For the sake of comparison, while the reference board has the same memory specs (128 bits interface, 5.4 GHz speed), it runs the GPU at 928 MHz.

The second Zotac card, GTX 650 Ti 2GB, is actually identical in specs to the Zotac GTX 650 Ti 1 GB, only with, obviously, twice the amount of memory.

As for the Zotac GTX 650 Ti 2GB AMP! Edition, it offers a GPU speed of 1,033 MHz and a memory speed of 6,200 MHz.

We have to take some time out here to point out that this is the first GTX 650 Ti we've seen that has overclocked memory. Moreover, 800 MHz is a lot.

Furthermore, the AMP! Edition gets two DVI video outputs and a pair of HDMI ports, just like the GTX 650 Ti 2GB. The GTX 650 Ti 1GB has DVI, miniHDMI and VGA instead.

Finally, all three graphics cards have one 6-pin power connector each (power draw of 110W or slightly more).

And so we've reached the part where we lament not knowing the prices of the newcomers, but this info is actually available this once. The Zotac GTX 650 Ti 1GB will sell for $160 / 160 Euro, the GTX 650 Ti 2GB for $180 / 180 Euro and the 650 Ti 2GB AMP! Edition for $190 / 190 Euro.
