GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB vs 1GB

[stateofmind]

Hi

Does anyone known anything about it?
I've seen GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs 1GB comparison and it didn't seem to be that important, but the boost has a much higher memory bandwidth, so..

At this point i would avoid a 1gb graphics card at all costs. Definitely go for the 2gb version. Even though it may not give you much advantage now it will surely come in handy later on when we start getting ports from the next gen consoles.

 

[stateofmind]

can you explain why it will be useful with ports?

 

[mohit9206]

Because the next gen consoles have 8gb ddr3 ram and much more powerful graphics than they had in current gen consoles so i believe pc ports of next gen games will be demanding on the vram alongwith other things as well.

unless these are below $150 now aren't you better off with the 660?

The 650 Ti Boost which is very very very close in performance to the 660 (not the 660 Ti) is selling for 130$ on newegg 1GB, or 140$-150$ for the 2GB version

where are you seeing $140-$150? the very cheapest I see on newegg is $155 with $170 and above being the typical price.

how does that answer my question?

maybe I didn't understand you - did you ask where can you find a GTX 650 Ti Boost for 130$?
that's the deal I saw and this is the deal

I am talking about the 2gb and that's why specifically said "where are you seeing $140-$150?"

 

[stateofmind]

they are selling for 155$ on newegg - my mistake

to be fair I think prices went up. unless I am crazy the 2gb cards were a little cheaper. and the plain 660 seems to have gone up too. maybe someone knows how to check the price history?

 

[stateofmind]

might be. I remember a better price too. Maybe the new 700 series is coming up
