Choosing between 3 brands (GTX 650 Ti Boost Edition)

^ bisan isa ka fan lang na, no worries. gi design na sya para ana... if dili na effective or maka guba na sa GPU, dili na ibutang nila na design... para sa akoa, mas preferred nako ang high factory OC as my budget can buy... granting, unlimited funds... hehehe... if mo abot ug 100 Deg C ang temp, aw, kani, different story na ni...

factory OC design are not the same as reference design... their circuitry is different... geared na sya for high frequencies... if reference design, aw, mao nang naa sa Nvidia or AMD site... ma OC sila but not that much...

mataas or maubos ang temp, pareho ra na ug function ang GPU... not unless, maabot ang temp cut-off nya para mo-throttle down kay kun dili, maguba sya if sige exposed sa over temperature... dili na maguba diha2x pud... inanay ang guba ana nya...

yup wala sa number ug fan but sa design sa cooling system. And usa pa nimo makita ang effective design from those that sucks when you overclock. My XFX Double Dissipation HD7950 completely sucks cooling wise limiting my oc. Again if non-oc'er then all cards regardless of cooling design looks the same but those who overclock knows what's effective and what's not.

if abot ug 10K php sya bro, GTX 660 (non-TI) na lang palita if mag Nvidia ka... if not, naa'y HD 7950 na tag 10K dha... Power Color reference design... kani sya, give & take ni sila sa GTX 660 TI ug performance... sakit2x pa man lagi'g price ang GTX 660 Ti oi... wla man gyud ni sya ning ubos...

for benchmark, diri sa akoang nahimutangan, ang GTX 650 Ti Boost cost around 7k to 8.5K php... differ lang sila'g mga 700 to 850 php sa GTX 660 (non-Ti)... sa kani na case diri, mas maayo gani ang GTX 660 (non-Ti) lang ang paliton kay mas pas2x man ni sya compared sa 650 Ti Boost... don't know the exact price dha sa atoa...

mau sad na akong huna-huna bro, 660 nalang.
di pa na mu ubos price sa 660ti bro, kay ug ila pud na e lower, mu jump nalang mga tao to that card, alot better and faster pa..

@ts


it will only void your warranty if you'll break the card doing it. As long as you'll follow proper procedure than you have nothing to worry about. As for the perfomance gain, dpende na sa card. I know the HD7000 when overclocked to average levels gets huge gains. The HD7950 when oc'ed can surpass HD7970/GTX680 performance. The HD7850 when oc'ed can surpass GTX 660 level. And we are talking about average overclocks here. Not sure about kepler, haven't overclocked one.

got your point. different card..different OC capability

Unsaon mana nimo ang taas na fac OC setting kung imo cooling magapas. isa ra ka fan murag reference, at full load magkalitse2. samot nag magdula kag pila ka oras. im not saying those cards are bad pero naa man mas barato na mas ok ang cooling. isa pa kung mas taas pa na ug OC setting, pila raman intawon ligas sa fps murag di naman gani mafeel.

vote goes to asus, msi inno3d

di gyud diay ma notice ang difference. thanks for clarifying that bro..

mau sad na akong huna-huna kay sila manufacturer kabao gyud na sila na ilang cooler maka handle gyud sa ka-init na ma-abot sa card, cgurado-un gyud nila na maka sustain gyud..

ahh i see..bale ang card kung e OC pa gyud nimo, aside sa factory OC, mu samot pa gyud ug ka-init..so, advantage gyud ang maayo ug cooling.
naka sabot nako bro..thanks for pointing this out..

unsa imo pili-un bro, GTX650Ti Boost na nindot ug cooling from inno3D, ASUS, MSI
or
EVGA 660 superclock (non Ti) na medyo mas mu init..

unsa inyo pili-un mga bros, GTX650Ti Boost na nindot ug cooling from inno3D, ASUS, MSI
or
EVGA 660 superclock (non Ti) na medyo mas mu init..
960 CUDA Cores
1046 MHz Base Clock
1111 MHz Boost Clock

it is not only on the cooling system bro... for OC'ers, what is the most important factor would be the GPU board circuitry itself... mao ni ang usually ma miss ug tan-aw kay kutob lang sa cooling system mo check... mao ni ang nag dala ug bida sa board for OC... ang components quality na gigamit as well as the circuit itself... the same ni's mobo pud... sa GPU, 2nd lang ang cooling system sa circuitry and component quality (mao gyud ni'ng ang 1st priority... dili nato makita at a glance lang)... a true OC'er (OC'ing fanatic is the correct term) will not run on air cooling system alone, we know this... they will run on "Open LCS" and for record breaking, will use "LN2"...

pero sa atoang case, labi na dili mag Open LCS, kay lagi, ang dali makita nato kaay ang cooling system ra man, mas better, if nice sya para maka squeeze-out pa gyud ta'g gamay na performance gaing sa GPU...

sakto pud i hear evga's cooling sucks big time. reviews tell the same thing. i often see asus and msi being the cooler overclockers. again, all based on reviews. i wouldn't know coz i don't own these brands. inno3d user here, though i would kill for an evga card. i love the clean, minimalistic look. kasagaran pud nako makit-an na evga kay liquid cooled.

Yup, components also plays a role but gpu manufacturers barely skimp on components nowadays. It's either the gpu itself or the cooling based on experience. My EVGA GTX 460 for example overclocks decently. But the temps was already near modest. I have to bump the fan up to 100% which way beyond tolerable noise levels and even then temps still reaches near 80c. Replace it with Deepcool V4000 and I was able to push it further more, temps barely reaches 70c and it barely creates noise. My XFX HD7950 with modest overclock needs the fan running at 100% to keep it below 85c and I barely touch the voltages. There's a reason why enthusiast opt for aftermarket cooling or full LCS and that is too push the clocks further just as what you said. But if a card barely overclocks on stock cooling and some brands does it in the contrary, got to be something to do with the cooler also. My HIS IceQ X HD6870 is one good example. Clocks and voltages maxxed out yet it still manage to keep the temps down without killing my ears.

^ well said bro...

many people prefer higher factory OC'ed cards over cards with good cooling system..kay daghan na sad kaayo klase mga advance coolers available karon like nitro, liquid etc..mao pud cguro na ilang gamit na cooling system..

ahh it's always about the looks hehe
bitaw mau sad gyud ang gi sulti sa review about EVGA..

very informative bro..I learned alot. I have already decided which one hehe thanks to you

Asus!

I have a DC2 and an EVGA (Although dili 650Ti Boost). Layo ra na sa cooling ang EVGA compared to the Asus.
