Does anyone know is the new GTX 650 better than the GTX 460 and radeon 6850?

The gtx 650 seems to be a bit slower then the 7770, and the gtx 460 is faster then the 7770, If you need the 2gb of vram go with the 650 but if you are running one monitor at 1920x1080 or lower the 460 is the way to go.

This is all that I could find for a link

though i don't believe what hw compare says because it shows the 6850 is better in everything than the 460 but when it comes to benchmarking its different.
I now have 2 PC's one is using a 6850, athlon II X3, 4gb ram and the other is using a GTX 650, phenom II 710, 8gb ram and the 650/phenom rig destroyed the 6850/athlon rig without much effort. In every game the 650 rig defeated the 6850 rig. Man the athlon II is a pathetic excuse for a CPU

Athlons lol!

 

[Sunius]

GTX 550 Ti is slower than GTX 460. GT 650 is slower than GTX 550 Ti.

[Lazar_99]

Athlons lol!

What's so funny? They are bad. After a few hours with the phenom i realized how bad the athlon is, should have never bought it in the first place.

GTX 550 Ti is slower than GTX 460. GT 650 is slower than GTX 550 Ti.

Why the hell is the newer GTX 650 slower than its older brother the 550ti?

New gen cards are "energy efficent" do the math.

Ah... nice. So i just wasted 140$ on a 650 which is slower than the 550Ti that costs 110$...

Send it back lol.

I got it as soon as it was in stores and i thought it would be faster than the 550Ti but i was wrong. Why did nvidia make such a large performance gap between the 650 and the 660?

No idea, why did they realease the gtx 580 so soon after the 480?

Thanks for the terrific news -.- Now no one will buy the 650 because its overpriced for its performance pretty much like the 550Ti was...

Nvidia really didn't shine in $150 budget range for the last few years - since GT 240 - and it doesn't look like it's gonna change any time soon.

Now that you mentioned it i still have the GT 240 GDDR5 in one of the boxes of my new cards and i remember i paid 80$ for it in 2009... great card for the money at that time

 

[nforce4max]

The GT240 GDDR5 is nothing to laugh at when tweaked and I still consider it to be a decent card but a gtx460 is a beast when overclocked. It will match a reference 560 ti when pushed over 900mhz and when modded they last. I have owned one for over two years and I can say this without a doubt that it is a true workhorse. Over 6-7 thousand hours of wow and other games in 40c+ ambient heat.

I plan on replacing the 6850 with the GTX 660 or GTX 660Ti. I'm glad Nvidia decided to make some "less" power demanding cards

because the 650ti will be coming out soon

Yea for the first time in years but I am still not satisfied with all the changes that they have made. They left openGL out altogether so those apps don't work very well and to add rock salt to the wounds the compute performance is spotty.

Plus if I ended up with one of the popular models the coil squeal will drive me nuts.

I doubt there will be a GTX 650 Ti because it doesn't say on the Nvidia website that there will be a 650Ti

Wha? The new 600 series delivers better performance and less power consumption.

 

[gamerkila57]

just get a HD 6850 or HD 7770

I already have a HD 6850 -.- i plan on replacing it as soon as i get a new board and CPU

 

[gamerkila57]

if you already have a HD 6850 why would you downgrade to a GTX 650

O_O

 

[Lazar_99]

I have them both. I wanted to upgrade to a GTX 660.
