Nvidia's 650 Ti Boost is a new offering by the graphics giant and it is supposed to compete with AMD's newly launched 7790 video card. Both new GPU's are priced at $150 and they both offer multi-GPU support which makes them the cheapest cards to offer SLI/Crossfire.
ASUS's new Direct CU II 650 Ti Boost card boasts a core clock of 1085MHz which is 105MHz faster than the card's reference clockspeed of 980MHz. The card also sports 2GB of GDDR5 RAM on a 192-Bit interface says ASUS and it is Direct X 11.1 compatible. ASUS goes on to say in their press release that the aftermarket cooler keeps the card 20% cooler when compared to Nvidia's reference cooler.
Early reports of the Nvidia's 650 Ti Boost V.S. the 7790 show that the Nvidia card dominates in almost every benchmark the cards have been compared in. To see how the cards compare you can look at Anandtech's review click here.
