Nvidia continues to expand its Kepler series of graphics cards.
A new 650 Ti SKU will be launched on October 9, according to heise.de.
The new 650 Ti is apparently positioned to fill the gap between the GTX 660, which currently sells for about $220 and the GTX 650, which sells for about $110. The card will be based on a 28 nm GK106 GPU with 960 active CUDA cores and 1 GB memory.
Expect a $149 launch price, which turns the card into an upsell option not only for the GTX 650, but also for AMD's Radeon HD 7770, which currently sells for about $110.

for 650TI, 1.5GB would have been ideal.
Interesting.
I tend to upgrade at a faster rate.
Geforce 2 ,then
Geforce 5, Then
Geforce 9
Geforce 4xx,next will be
Geforce 7xx in 2013.
Unfortunately, Nvidia never seems interested in using an ideal amount of VRAM
Same here. agree 100%. but why woudn't they? what's the demand for faster cards? Latest PC games are busy milking out huge console money with sequels & franchises based on 5-year old engines as long as people are buying. Even though the PC versions are poorly optimized, they still run fine on 8800GT or similar. Skyrim = Oblivion = fallouts. Crysis 2 = 1 (probably less, in fact). Ass-Creed 3 = rev = bro = 2 = 1. Unreal Engine 3 = pretty much every game (WOW!) = batman = mass effect = gears of war = MOH = Bioshock = Rainbow6-V ...
I had a good laugh at your comment....i'm still laughing lol.
Probably production/yield issues...
It's almost definitely using GDDR5 if even the GTX 650 is using GDDR5. I'd be more worried about the width of the memory interface and the mere 1GiB of memory capacity.
Nvidia was never very concentrated on the mid to low range cards. I believe the GTX655 if it gets released is an OEM card. AMD dominates low to mid range generally. Whereas Nvidia dominates high range.
