The SuperNOVA 650 G1+'s overall performance is pretty high, despite its lousy transient response. Good efficiency levels carry this PSU's score.
Performance Per Dollar
The following chart may be the most interesting to many of you because it depicts the product’s performance-per-dollar score. We looked up the current price of each PSU on popular online shops and used those prices and all relative performance numbers to calculate the index.
