MSI Power Edition GeForce GTX 650 Ti N650Ti PE 1GD5/OC Video Card

Comment:
I replaced my 9600 gt with this card. It gave a nice boost to my core 2 duo PC. This card is probably a bit overpowered for a core 2 duo cpu. But the performance increase was noticeable in games such as Saints Row the Third and Sleeping Dog. With the same settings (medium-high), my old card was choppy, while this one was smooth.

I was looking for a mid-end card for my SG05 ITX media center and this fit right in. More quiet then some other cards(even more so when you compare it to some last generation cards).It did have a driver bug causing it to run at full speed in Media Center, but the latest drivers fix it.(310.70)Driver comparison image.http://imageshack.us/a/img211/3241/nvidiamediacenter.pngWhile it fits in the SG05 case, it is a fairly large card because of its cooler sticking off the side of the card.Image in case.http://imageshack.us/a/img198/6500/dsc0503rl.jpgBest of all, It is quiet at all loads(media or some gaming). This is good because I heard some of the older MSI twin fan cards and they made lots of noise.As long as it lasts, I will look at MSI cards in the future for sure.
