NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost: specs and benchmarks

Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost sales 26 March 2013 at a recommended price of $169. This is Kepler architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 2 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6.0 GB/s are supplied, and together with 192 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 144.2 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is dual-width card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 9.5" (24.1 cm). One 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 134 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 4.63 percent of a leader's which is AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT.
General info
Of GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost's architecture, market type and release date.
Technical specs
GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.
Compatibility, dimensions and requirements
Information on GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors don't have dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM.
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference video cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model.
Technologies
Technological solutions and APIs supported by GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. You'll probably need this information if you need some particular technology for your purposes.
API support

Benchmark performance
Non-gaming benchmark performance of GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.
Overall score
This is our combined benchmark performance rating. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.
3DMark Fire Strike Graphics
Fire Strike is a DirectX 11 benchmark for gaming PCs. It features two separate tests displaying a fight between a humanoid and a fiery creature seemingly made of lava. Using 1920x1080 resolution, Fire Strike shows off some realistic enough graphics and is quite taxing on hardware.
Passmark
This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
Octane Render OctaneBench
This is a special benchmark measuring graphics card performance in OctaneRender, which is a realistic GPU rendering engine by OTOY Inc., available either as a standalone program, or as a plugin for 3DS Max, Cinema 4D and many other apps. It renders four different static scenes, then compares render times with a reference GPU which is currently GeForce GTX 980. This benchmark has nothing to do with gaming and is aimed at professional 3D graphics artists.
Mining hashrates
Cryptocurrency mining performance of GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. Usually measured in megahashes per second.
Game benchmarks
Let's see how good GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost is for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in FPS. Comparisons with system requirements are included, but remember that sometimes official requirements may reflect real performance inaccurately.
Relative perfomance
Overall GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost performance compared to nearest competitors among desktop video cards.
AMD equivalent
We believe that the nearest equivalent to GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost from AMD is Radeon R7 260X, which is slower by 5% and lower by 14 positions in our rating.
