Asus Shows Off Efficient GeForce GTX 650-E

By - Source: TechPowerUp

Asus has released a new version of its GTX 650 graphics card, the GTX 650-E.

Asus's new GTX 650-E will not require any external power and will be able to operate solely from a PCIe port. Based on ATX specifications, a PCIe port supplies 75 watts and the card is expected to consume less than 60 W under full load. By comparison, Nvidia's reference GTX 650 consumes 64 watts under full load and requires a single 6-pin PCIe connector.

Additionally, it seems that the card won't suffer from a lower wattage as whilst the normal GTX 650 runs at 1058 MHz, Asus' card carries a small overclock to run at 1071 MHz. Aside from this, users will find the usual 384 CUDA cores and the GDDR5 memory running at 5 GHz as on the reference model.

The card is equipped with a custom cooler from Asus and has the three expected display outputs (VGA, DVI, and HDMI) and will be available with either 1 or 2 GB of GDDR5.

EU pricing is €95 for the 1 GB model and €115 for the 2 GB model. Though U.S. market pricing is still unknown, we can expect it to be similar.

    Nice for people with crappy OEM PSUs on a budget.

    disolitudeAre you saying performance is 10-30% better than 7750? 7750 will run circles around this card (GDDR5).


    Run circles around it is an extreme exaggeration. I doubt that the 7750 will beat it by much if at all on average. They'd be trading blows.

    Now mount a huge aftermarket heatsink on it and run it passive.
