Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 650 Ti is designed to fill the gap between its GeForce GTX 650 and 660. Is the GK106-based board fast enough to outmaneuver classics like the GeForce GTX 460 and Radeon HD 6850? Or, should you be looking to a 1 GB Radeon HD 7850?

Benchmark Results: World Of Warcraft

Historically, Blizzard's World of Warcraft favors Nvidia's GeForce boards. Our first test gauges how well the GeForce GTX 650 Ti handles the Ultra preset in DirectX 11 mode, sans anti-aliasing.

We aren't presented any surprises; the new board follows Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 and AMD's Radeon HD 6870.

The finishing order doesn't change with 4x MSAA applied, though the frame rates naturally dip.
