how's it going guys so as many of you already know NVIDIA has recently released their GTX 650 Ti boost and this is essentially a massive performance increase from the GTX 650 Ti and that this card is much more ready out of the box for 1080 resolution gaming whereas you still could do some 1080 gaming on the 650 Ti except it just wasn't a huge performer in that arena he kind of had to make sure that you weren't playing any graphically intensive games or that you really just had to above the resolution down so in order to meet that 1080 gaming resolution requirement I guess you could say NVIDIA has definitely made some sizable adjustments to this card with 650 Ti boost in that it comes default with a two gigs frame buffer so this is reference card design I have right here just comes with two gigs right out of the box and the stuff from that's got a wider memory bus interface 192 as opposed to 128 bit with the GTX 650 Ti so I think that it's just got a higher clock frequency in general it's it's got n videos GPU boost 1.0 that is but the one other feature that sets this card apart from the 650 Ti that I'm going to be focusing on more today is its SLI compatibility so you I actually have a second GTX 650 Ti boost right here also another reference card design so I'm going to be stacking them up in two-way SLI running some benchmarks I'm also going to run some single card benchmarks with a 650 Ti boost boost it's boost and even going deeper than that that's what she said I'm going to be stacking these two cards up against a GTX 670 Y 670 well because one of these cards right now will cost you about 170 on new ENCOM give or take 10 20 bucks depending on which manufacturer you get it from so if you put two of these cards you get two these cards on Newegg that's what 340 so if you have 340 bucks 400 bucks lying around you could either get two of these GTX 650 ti boosts and put them in SLI or you can get about 1 GTX 670 so I figure if the prices are about the same between those two configurations the performance should theoretically be more or less the same well that said why don't we get into the hardware I'm using and so we can see some out-of-the-box performance once again or I didn't mention this before I'm not overclocking at all in this video my Asus directs you to card is completely at stock clock frequency I'm just checking out of the box performance and we can see how these two configurations stack up against each other with the games that I've tested so let's take a look at the hard way all right so I'm rockin my personal system at home so everything within the Corsair 600 T I've got a 2600 K overclocked at 4400 megahertz PhD 68 vPro motherboard 16 gigs of vengence ram at 1600 mega transfers per second and I'm not going to bore you with the rest of the specs there you can read you can see all the graphics card specs that I'm using these tests to the right once again everything's at stock clock frequencies you want to see any more specs on these cards any more info you can check the links in the description below and once again all these tests are run at 1920 by 1080 so the foot for the first test assassin's creed 3 you can see some very close neck-and-neck results with the 650 TI boost in two-way SLI against these 670 from 50.1 250 1.2 this is pretty negligible I think it's it's kind of inconclusive it could be just margin of error I could run this test again and see the complete opposite with a 650 Ti boost and 2 es a lot of pulling ahead of the 670 so I'm not really going to get either of these cards a point right now because I consider this a tie but here you can see a little bit of scaling performance pretty decent amounts it's not the best but it's not the worst either with a 650 ti boost going from 36.9 to 50.1 let's see if we can see any differences in the next test if there's a clear winner and yes there is for Battlefield 3 you can see 95 frames per second with a 650 ti boost into a sli I'm just going to start calling it boost you guys know what I mean when I say boops I don't to keep saying 660ti boost into SLI okay so the boost in two-way SLI got the 95 frames per second against 76.2 with the 670 clearly a winner here we have our first point awarded to the suits job now I can't stop saying 60 thread we have our first point awarded to the boost into a sli and look at that scaling performance that's just a massive scaling performance right there that's almost so that's almost 100 volt there that's almost 100% scaling so awesome scaling for the for the boost in two-way SLI and we have a clear winner here once again 6 with the block with the Boost I ya know I can't talk right now borderlands 2 here we go this is uh definitely a point for the 670 82.6 awesome frames per second right there and seventy nine point six for the boost into a thirty nine point one I mean just look at that scaling guys that's a crazy scale once again almost 100 percent scaling there with the boost ease once yeah I forget to mention I think you guys know by now maximum temperatures are listed in red next to the graphics card names and keep in mind the ACS directs you to really good cooler it's going to be keeping thermals really to a minimum there whereas with the boost reference card designs right blower style fan and clothes shroud temps are going to be a little bit hotter it's actually funny of the single car temps were slightly higher than the 2-way SLI temps for the boost but you know who knows strange things are happening but there you go there's a point for the 670 so I think we have a tie right now I think the first Assassin's Creed 3 was it was a wash Battlefield 3 went to the the boost in two-way SLI and now we have a one point awarded to the 670 so let's see if we have a tiebreaker with Crysis 3 which we kind of do but kind of do not once again kind of like with Assassin's Creed 3 I would call this a wash this is pretty much a negligible difference with barely one frame basically one frame per second difference from forty five point five to forty four point four but look at that scaling that's over a hundred percent scaling you guys I don't really say that or see that often but I guess it does happen there you go did get pretty darn hot though with the boost into SLI at 83 degrees press 3 of course you know killer a GPU killer all those specs pretty much maxed out sucide from SMA a a 2x very graphically intensive game the Boost single car just could not handle it that's pretty expected with 21 point 3 frames sad face but here again we have another tie between the boost and to weigh against the 670 rot Cry 3 we see the the boost in to a definitely pull ahead this time of the 670 giving another point to the boost in two-way so I think this course two to one right now and look at that scaling once good guy scale so good go 31.2 259 just awesome awesome stuff here let's go to hitman hitman absolution once again we see the boost pull ahead into a over the 670 and now we're starting to see a clear winner here I think the more tests we go on we're starting to see you out of the the boost and two-way SLI is uh is definitely beating out the 670 on a more consistent basis right now and scaling isn't as great as we saw with the last few tests definitely not close to 100 but still not too shabby at all but 42 to 71 still pretty darn good skyrim if this is our last real world gaming benchmark for today you can see it's almost neck and neck and I almost want to say this as negligible oh I don't know is that is that too close too close to call a clear winner I think I think I can call that a winner I think I think that's a point for the boost into way that's three frames right there and even though there are really high frame rates I've worked out a pretty consistent loop benchmark lube for Skyrim so I feel like if I ran this test 20 more times I'd probably get very very very similar results as the ones you see here so scaling clearly wasn't that great probably our least performance with scaling as we saw with the boost and two-way but with one hundred and twenty seven point five frames per second and you really complain the answer is no so thirty 3dmark thirty mark 3d mark we can see once again the boost the boost is just below in the 670 out of the water I ran the fire strike demo so the score you see on the left is the graphics core for a regular fire strike so with the 6800 over the GTX 670 s just barely breaking 6000 points definitely a clear winner there the boost and on to the right we see need the graphics core for the fire strike the extreme demo test which is basically more graphically intensive version I left out the overall score for the 3d mark test just because it's a it's also CPU limited runs a lot of physics tests which are dependent on the CPU you want to focus on the graphics card for for today so I just went with the graphics core but here with the fires fire strike extreme demo you can see that the results here once again are very negligible and it's just barely 2807 to 28:23 I mean it's there's there's no clear winner there at all but with the regular fire strike demo you can see a massive leap ahead from the 670 going to the boost to ASL ah alright guys so after taking a look at the performance results from the benchmarks I've run today you can see that there is a clear winner in this little showdown if you will the GTX 650 Ti boost won four of those rounds I believe out of eight I think eight whereas the 670 behind me the Asus directs you to while it did perform extremely well in those tests very playable framerates and nearly everything it did still only only came out on top in one of those rounds there were two or three rounds that we did that there was just no clear winner the results were too similar so it was too inconclusive to decide a victory thurr way but what are your guys opinions because personally I've always been a fan of having a single card in my rig no matter what because I just feel like it's there's less maintenance there's less heat there's less power consumption and I don't have to worry about scaling performance because not all cards really scale all that well with all the games or applications that you're using them for but in my test these things the GTX 650 Ti boost into ASL i scaled beautifully I mean some of the best scaling performance I've actually personally ever seen with a video card and that goes for SLI and CrossFireX so what do you guys think if you could get two of these cards for the same price or even a little bit cheaper than a GTX 670 and you knew that they would outperform the 670 a little bit would you go for them you know or would you simply avoid them and go for a single card configuration simply to avoid the hassle of having to two GPUs in your system I'd like to know leave all your thoughts in the comment section below and yeah thanks for
