NVidia GTX 650Ti Three Way Roundup

The NVidia reference GTX 650 TI graphics card is the smallest of the bunch thanks in part to the extremely simple GPU cooler and single slot expansion card bracket.   It should be noted that the PCB measures in at 5.75 inches, like the Gigabyte, and features a jet black coating.

Flipping the card over shows how little is required to run Kepler based GPUs and where all of the major components are located.  You'll find two power phases located right of the GPU and surface pads for a 2GB version of this card..  The board is almost identical to the Gigabyte design with a few capacitors moved around but, is otherwise not all that interesting.

GTX 650 Ti has a TDP of 110watts with a normal power load of 80w under typical usage.  External PCI Express power is not required but a 6-pin power connection is provided to increase stability.

Unlike the previous two cards in this roundup the NVidia reference design comes with a single expansion slot cover and dual slot cooler.  We would have liked to see a dual slot expansion cover since that would better represent the form factor but, in this case, NVidia determined it to be unnecessary.
