Disappointed by the performance. Huge gap between GTX650 and GTX660.

The cooler is neat, but the performance is rather lacking. Could be a decent HTPC option though - the TDP is super low and it stays frosty with that cooler at least.

the GTX650 should be outperforming the GTX460 in every benchmark.....not struggling to keep up.....fail on this one....

GTX 650 does well compared to the product against which it's price-positioned ie 7750 (MSRP $109 for both cards), but it should really lose that "X" in GTX. This still warrants one more GPU from NVIDIA, to fill the gap, ie GTX 550 Ti. A bit disappointing that power consumption chart is missing from the review. 65W would put it exactly halfway between 7750 and 7770

BLEH!

No wonder its a bit crap: only 1/3 the cores of the 660...

2/5 of GTX 660, to be exact GTX 650 = 2 x SMX = 2 x 192 cc = 384 cc GTX 660 = 5 x SMX = 5 x 192 cc = 960 cc In order to be a semi-decent upgrade, like GTX 580(512CC) -> GTX 680 (1536cc), there needs to be ~ 3 x more new cuda cores, compared to Fermi. So GTX 650 would be a decent upgrade for GT 440, GTX 530 and nothing higher than that.

Yeah...looks that way Proly because you hid it under "Hardware installation"

My issue is that for people with a GTX450 or 550....it's not really worth the asking price. GTX680, 670 and 660Ti were much larger improvements over the cards they replaced.

I really thought it would beat the 460 at least. Even the 768mb version beats it. I expect there will be a Ti version in the pipeline sometime soon.
