Where are the 650 Ti Boost cards?!?

[Hi-Fi Man]

Taking a quick look on Newegg, Amazon, and Tigerdirect and it seems most if not all of the 650 Ti Boost cards are out of stock. Newegg even says discontinued!

So is Nvidia discontinuing these cards for something 700 series or are they just literally out of stock? What's going on here?

I was wondering the same thing myself. I buy them for my customer's mid-range gaming machines and haven't seen them for a while now. Had to bump up to the GTX 660 due to shortage or whatever it is.

Agreed, it sucks that the NVIDIA's lowest priced capable GPU is still ~$200

It looks like Nvidia has a hole between 650 Ti and 660, both performance and price wise. And this late in a game. Weird...

Don't know if this information i am about to post is credible but this could perhaps be why.......

This rumor goes back to September but a 760se/750ti is apparently its placement.

 

[Hi-Fi Man]

Anybody know anything else about this rumour?

Interesting rumor. Could be true!

I think that they are phasing out the 660ti 2GB cards for 760 cards too,

I guess I got my 2 at the right time. Too bad I sold them already for $150 for both.

An SE?

This is going to be like the 460SE again. (if you don't remember, they were called the Sucky Edition)

 

[FalseChristian]

Didn't the GTX 460 have, like, 4 versions because it was so popular? I had 2 original GTX 460 1GB (non-neutered. LOL!) and they're still going strong in SLI in a friend's computer.

It's highly unlikely this late in the game that nVidia is going to release any new low or middle end Kepler based graphics card.

That market is now dominated by AMD and Intel onboard APU's or iGPU's so sales are dwindling at the entry level.

Maxwell isn't due to appear until March in what will likely be a high end card first although they could choose to mix it up since they just released the GTX 780Ti only a month ago.

I heard Maxwell won't be released until Q4, 2014, which makes more sense since they just brought out the Titan-killer GTX 780 Ti.
