MSI N650Ti Power Edition 1GD5/OC GeForce Graphics Card

If you want to move up to DX11 graphics at an affordable price of R2 139, have a look at the MSI N650Ti PE 1GD5/OC. It features nVidia’s Kepler architecture. It also incorporates two of MSI’s exclusive architectures, triple overvoltage and enhanced PWM design, effectively boosting overclocking potential up to 17%.

The GTX650Ti comes with 768 CUDA Cores, double the 384 CUDA Cores in the standard GTX 650. And while this card is already factory overclocked to 993MHz, you have the ability to boost GPU performance to almost 1200MHz! 

MSI Cyclone II heatsink and dual pipes

As is usual, high performance output equals high heat output. To cope with whatever you are going to throw at this card, MSI equipped it with their Cyclone II heatsink and dual heat pipes. To quote the official page –

The exclusively designed Cyclone II heatsink module with 9cm PWM temperature controlled fans and dual heat pipes provides an optimum balance between noise and heatsinking. Reverse Dust Removal technology automatically removes dust from the heatsink module and maintains optimum cooling performance. Propeller Blade technology also increases airflow by 20% compared to conventional fans, effectively reducing the temperature to 57° and the operating noise to 18.89 dB in a maximum operating state.
