This is a quick and short review of the Zotac GTX 650 low profile.
I had a look around on the net for a review for this card, didn't find anything so I thought I'd write a little something for anyone out there that wishes to buy this card.

As you may already know its the Nvidea Kelper design, this specific card has a clock speed of 1071 mhz and packed with 1 GB DDR5. For more information please click the following link for this rest of the spec [ http://www.zotac.com/products/graphics-cards/geforce-60... ].

I run this on the following spec -
i5 3330 3.0Ghz
4GB Ram
500w Ezcool PSU
Mobo - Lenovo H520s - ( I stripped out of my PC )
500GB HDD - 120 SSD

When it comes to gaming with this card, all I can say is.. that it's not so bad nor is it the best.. Dont get me wrong, all major titles can be played on 1080p but you will have adjust the setting to medium or custom to be able to play the game. For example - Crysis 2 & 3 avg FPS 30-37 with setting on medium. But after using on stock mode for a day or two I decided to overlock it and see how much more I can push out of it.. my current setting are GPU Lock 1180 MHZ - Memory 1325 MHZ. that's the best I could get it for it to be stable. I'm sure it could be better but that's the best I got. At this setting games do play lot more better and run a tiny bit smoother. I used MSI afterburner.

The card doesn't require any extra power, it runs straight off the PCI-E. Cooling wise it's very good. Playing crysis for more near enough a hour or so, the temp reaches just about 60c.. which isn't bad. I use other cooling methods like case fans and fan controllers.

Thats all I have now.

If any questions - please do ask.

thanks for reading

Thanks for the review. I'm building a budget HTPC for someone and just bought the HD 7750 low profile to go with his Athlon II x2 270 (3.4 GHZ). I searched for a low profile card to match or better the HD 7750, but never saw the Zotac 650. They need to advertise more!

They seem to be sold in the Asian side of the world more.. I'm from UK and I purchased it from the US. I do agree with you.
Have fun building that system.
