curse for more details well this is extremely exciting guys I know you don't
necessarily like the white box unboxings as much as the retail box ones but this
is how they come when you get them prior to launch and this is the GeForce GTX
650 TI boost Edition so it's got uh it's
got CPU boost which the old one didn't it's got more RAM which the old one
didn't it's got a wider memory bus Which the old one I mean why are they even
calling this thing 650 TI this is actually a major step up in terms of
performance and the actual like technology that's inside it compared to
the 650 TI and IT addresses a very
interesting spot in the market so you can see it comes packed in some
anti-static foam NVIDIA wants the cards they send to reviewers to arrive in one
piece it also comes in anti-static bubble wrap which we're going to go
ahead and open up which is then inside
an anti-static bag so yes it arrived safely
looking good and uh hopefully when we throw this on the test bench for our
review it's going to function great and I'm sure it will so the first thing we
see about the card is that it has NVIDIA's sort of signature Kepler shroud
it looks really sharp looks really good but is actually not that uh I mean
compared to something like the 690 or the a Titan cooler it is not as
expensive to make so you can see where there would have been a polycarbonate window to see the fins underneath and
where there would have been a glowing logo they've replaced that with a plastic uh textured pattern and then a
green GeForce GTX on the top it still looks sharp but obviously this is this
is slightly less expensive they've got their exhaust fan so it's a blower style
fan on the back this doesn't keep the GPU itself as cool as some of the dual
fan designs that you're going to see from board Partners but what it does do
is it takes all the a from inside your case and pushes it out the back so this
is great for small form factor systems or in systems where optimal ventilation
is not necessarily available to you you don't want to add a bunch of fans so for
quiet Computing this is often a better design it's a PCI Express 3.0 card so
here on the bottom of the card you see it's a 16x card this is pretty much part
for the course and unlike the 650 TI it
does have support for SLI which makes sense because I've said this a lot of
times but low-end card it usually makes
more sense to buy a single better card versus buying two of them so NVIDIA has
gone ahead and they have segmented their graphics card and they've gone okay look
we're only going to put SLI on the cards where it may actually make sense to buy
two of these cards and run them in SLI the other thing that makes this card
make more sense to run an SLI is the fact that it has a 192-bit bus at least
that's what my notes say anyway we can yeah there we go 192-bit bus with two
gigs of memory so if you were to run two one gig cards in SLI number one is you
might get some more performance out of the GPU but you're not actually going to
be able to crank up your resolution because you're going to be limited
remember two cards running in SLI each with a gig of memory gives you a total
of one gig of usable memory for the entire graphic subsystem so giving this
card 2 gigs of memory makes it suitable for modern games at 1080p I'd say 1 gig
is not quite enough and this contrasts with AMD's recent launch of the 7790
having only 1 gig of memory I'd say in this price class although this one is a
little bit higher you got to have two gigs it comes in under the price of the
7850 which given the performance numbers
that I am led to believe I'm going to see but haven't tested yet should make
it very very competitive last thing that they oh yeah uh very low very low power
only a single six pin connector the back you can see the PCB is actually quite
short like some of the other GeForce cards we've seen and they've gone with
their uh um ego extension on the back of
the card to make it look more like a you know like a more high performance
graphics card honestly the PCB length does not affect the performance of the
graphics card and if you don't like the reference design there will be plenty of
cards available from guys like auss MSI Gigabyte that are using a longer PCB
with a larger cooler the last thing that I'm really excited to see on this card
is the fact that it has four outputs natively on some of the uh lower-end
Kepler cards before we were seeing only three outputs which means you can't
support three monitors and Surround plus an auxiliary display natively on the
card without well you can't support it on the card unless the board Partners
implement the extra connectors on their own love to see this on the reference
design because while this card even though it's got 2 gigs of RAM is
probably not suitable for 3x 1080p surround gaming and modern titles it's
nice to have that available as a productivity thing for guys who are like
oh well I want to get a decent card that I can run a nice multim monitor setup on
and I can also game on on a single monitor when I'm not working so clock
speed wise GPU boost not not only does it come with a higher base clock so it's
at 980 MHz versus 925 on the older
cheaper card although I believe that card stays current so I can't
necessarily call it older but the previously released card it also boosts
all the way up to a typical boost clock of 1033 so this is at least 10% faster
when it's running in boost mode versus that older card that's really cool plus
that 192-bit bus and the extra memory gives you a ton more per performance and
we're really really excited to check it out it also has 6 GHz gddr5 memory and I
think that pretty much wraps it up 768 caor just like the old one it is running
the same GK 106 GPU and without further
Ado thank you for watching this unboxing online as techtips don't forget to like
the video subscribe and I don't know what else can I tell
you guys to do go eat a
banana and and uh um do let's see go eat a
banana and then take the last bit of the
banana find a close relative of yours walk up take the piece of banana and
smush it onto their chest and see what they say guys leave a comment under the
video with what your relative said when you did that and that is it for the
worst advice I've ever given in a video ever
