Nvidia GTS 650 is 3% Faster Than GTX 550 Ti , Will Require Much Lower Power

[RoBoGhOsT]

Nvidia's Kepler based GPUs have already been successful in the high end segment , delivering impressive performance with efficiency . Now the company is expected to launch its mid-range Kepler GPU line-up soon replacing the Fermi GPUs .

The GTX 660 , GTX 660Ti , GTS 650 and GT 640 are expected to be rolled out soon starting August . Rumor from it168 has suggested the details of upcoming GTS 650 , which is expected to be slightly faster than the GTX 550 Ti model .

The GTS 650 will be based on GK107 and will have same 384 CUDA cores as the GT 640 , but it will have 128bit GDDR5 clocked at 4800MHz compared to GDDR3 clocked at 1800MHz on the GT 640 . The core clock is expected to be around 1GHz .

The 3D mark benchmarks suggest that the GTS 650 will only be around 3% faster than the GF116 based GTX 550 Ti which has 192 Cores , but it will consume much lesser power , compared to 116 watts that GTX 550 Ti consumes, it will consume approximately 70 watts which would mean that it will not require additional power connector .

The rumors indicate that the card will be possibly launched along with the GTX 660 in last week of August .

Well this still leaves AMD with plenty of elbow room in the low-end and lower mid-range market.

With a fresh round of price cuts the AMD HD 7770 GHz edition and HD 6850 maybe even HD 6870 1GB will maul this card pretty bad, power consumption not withstanding.

Many thanks for the news on the nVidia GTX 660. Waiting for that card eagerly, lets hope it spices things up in the sub ~18000/- budget category.

Not gonna work - the 7750 is roughly 1.5 times faster than the GT 640. This will still be slower than that card.

So AMD needn't slash prices on the HD 7770GHz edition and the ageing HD 68** series to cap out this release [except for the GTX 660 / 660Ti] OR what?

3 percent?

nVidia has got GK104 cool, but rest is flop (looking).
