Hmm, assume you can sell Creed for $50 on Ebay( I think that is a safe bet), 650TI would be an amazing value as long as that promotion last.

 

[sherlockwing]

Correction, I though ACIII was a $60 game like BL2, turns out it it s a $50 game so on Ebay probably sell for $35-$40.

weak card, wont bother.

 

[amdfangirl]

I wish AC3 came with the GTX 660 too.

 

[esrever]

I haven't really liked assassins creed since the first one. No idea if this will be remotely good. The game is just too easy that there is no satisfaction.

That "Weak" card can run ACIII @ max settings.

Looking forward to seeing this deal on higher end cards.

Still don't see prices at $150 on NewEgg. Most of the prices are around $160, and the lowest available price for a 7850 on NewEgg right now is $165. They need to do better to get lower prices, especially since the only card available for the real $150 price does not come with ACIII.

I read ACIII comes w/ 550Ti...

 

[Maxx_Power]

Bundle a GTX660 with that GTX650 Ti!

At 2560x1440 with 8x MSAA? Didn't think so.

I'd take the cheaper 7770 over the 650 Ti. It handles overclocking and MSAA far better and AC3 simply in't enough incentive to go with the inferior card. One thing going for the 650 Ti is that it'd probably be an excellent card for PhysX calculation for a higher end AMD or Nvidia card.

Guys, the title is backwards - Assassin's Creed 3 is included with the 650ti.

 

[eric4277]

I hope this is hinting that AC3 will run better on nvidia cards. Wish I came with the 660 ti ill be buying at the end of the month though.

Ubisoft isn't known for good PC ports...good luck running Assassin's Creed on a ~$150(really like a $170 card) GPU on max settings.

I'll buy it off of Steam when it's $10 in a year.

 

[ipwn3r456]

So GTX 690, 680, 670, 660 Ti, and now 650 Ti have game included from purchase of one of those video cards, BUT WHY GTX 660 GETS NOTHING?!

[zander1983]

Why would they even bother with the bundle. Playing AC3 on that card would SUCK, sub-par graphics at not a decent resolution...

I think this is just a marketing scheme for nVidea to get a jump over AMD's mainstream cards.

maybe Nvidia thinks GTX 660 it's they're best value and don't need to include a game, but I think it would be perfect @180$-190$ price tag on Holly day season, my Budget will be around that. so if the price stay the same my Best option will be the AMD HD7850.

What I was most interested in, and most disappointed about, was seeing how this card stacks up against the GTX 550 Ti. Since this looks to be the direct replacement, head-to-head between these two models seemed like a no-brainer.

I am very curious considering the drop in memory bandwidth from 192-bit to 128-bit, plus the loss of SLI. Looked like a step backwards.

Who's the hell is gonna put a 650ti in a 2500x gaming system?

This card can handle AC III @ 1080P with high settings, giving it a very smooth gameplay.

The 650ti is 12% faster than HD 7770.

 

[meghrajbaria]

Awesome.. i ve got a MSI 550ti . it works with brotherhood just fine, so it should work with this too.......

I can find factory overclocked 7770s that are 15-25% faster than reference for $120-135 uch as the Sapphire OC moderl at 1.15GHz GPU clock frequency and 1.25GHz memory clock frequency. The 650 Ti also wanes in its advantage at higher graphics quality loads where the memory bus gets stressed and doesn't seem to overclock as well. The 650 Ti's argument starts to fade at that point. It needs a huge memory overclock to have proper performance for its price and I just haven't seen it doing well enough there. I'm inclined to agree with luciferano.

At 2560x1440 with 8x MSAA? Didn't think so.

I fail to see how 2560x1440 with 8xMSAA matters in modern gaming with such a card. I wouldn't care about something like that except maybe in higher end CF comparisons or Radeon 79xx comparisons. Having even four times more FPS (which the 7770 doesn't compared to the 650 Ti) at that wouldn't matter if its still unplayable. Furthermore, max settings relates to texture quality, not resolution and MSAA, so you don't even have the argument of what max settings are on your side.

Yes, the post that you replied to should have mentioned a resolution, but that's what should have been addressed, not that exaggeration brought to an extreme.
