I'm going to do a major upgrade from my first gen i3 to something new. Mostly for games and watching videos. I have the budget, but I don't want to spend pointlessly either. I've narrowed my choices to these 3, not only since they meet my budget, but more because of the fact that not all...

I'm looking to upgrade my video card and I already have a GTX 650 Ti. Should I do SLI with another one, or just get something better?

I currently have an GTX 650Ti. If I get a later model (750+), will it work?

First off, sorry if this is the wrong place to put this thread. The reason I ask is because my internet is fine, and I am using some program to monitor my upload and download speed so I have visibility on my throughput. But when I play videos on sites like Youtube, or Animeseed sometimes the...

The point of all this, is because I just got a new (budget) video card (GTX 650 Ti) and I did some research since it has a dual link DVI-I and DVI-D ports and a mini-HDMI port. I understand dual links to be better than single links, but I didn't really get the difference between DVI-I and D...

I really appreciate the fact that aside from having helpful answers, no one talks down on other people's computer builds or just goes bah and offhand refers get the newest models. I guess there will be a bottleneck, but nothing severe by my standards, so I'll go along with it anyway. Thanks all.

Hi. I bought my computer with an Intel Core i3 530 about 4 or 5 years ago. Now I'm upgrading my video card, thinking along the lines of either a GTX 650 Ti or an HD 7850 (can post specs if needed, still looking of course, if I can squeeze a few more bucks). My budget is one constraint from the...

Thanks man. You've been really helpful. I've been to other hardware forums, and if you don't ask about the latest flagships, they just tell you to buy them and ignore whatever question you initially had. You've been awesome, showing you really know your stuff. Good day/night sir, whichever is...

One last question man. I'm seeing some "overclocked" edition of video cards from manufacturers. One in particular I'm seeing is this http://www.sparkle.com.tw/en/products_detail.asp?ID=59. It seems better than your "standard" GTX 650 Ti, but as it is an overclocked edition, I'm wondering if the...

Thanks. Okay, I did an apples to apples comparison now with a 550 Ti and a 650 Ti. http://www.hwcompare.com/13648/geforce-gtx-550-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-650-ti/ Mem Bandwidth and Pixel Rate seem better on the 550 Ti. What's the deal?

It seems like it's better on webpages that do auto-comparisons like so: http://www.hwcompare.com/13482/geforce-gtx-550-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-650/ Can anyone explain this to me?
