Asus GTX650TI-DC2T-1GD5 Review

Nvidia is almost done with their Kepler onslaught and the newly launched GTX 650 Ti is one of the final pieces of the puzzle. The card fills the void between the GTX 650 and the GTX 660 and will eventually replace the GTX 560 right now and later on, even the GTX 550 Ti once the price drops. We have Asus’ take on the card with its Direct CU II cooler taking up just two slots this time around, instead of three. Let’s see how it stacks up against the competition. Design and Build Asus has gone with its own custom design with the PCB and has also added its DIGI+ VRM technology – that we've already seen on its motherboards – for a cleaner power delivery. The actual card is quite small but seems large due to the custom cooler on the front. Rather than designing a new cooler for the smaller PCB, which would mean an increase in cost, Asus has used the same dual-fan cooler that we’ve seen on higher-end cards like the GTX 680 and HD 7970.Click here for full story
