NO! NO! NO!
The GTX650Ti never had a 384 bit bus, it's another one of those 'specials' if you look it's exactly the same crappy cooler as the card in Nukemasters post!

I can't see, my AV software keeps cutting the site off.
There's a lot of stuff like this getting onto the 'net, so use the old saying; "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".
Walk away and warn your friends.

EDIT: And full system specs, please include display/s resolution/s and power supply details.

These sellers even get crafty. They edit the cards bios to show whatever card name they want to. I have seen "384-bit" GTX 650ti's in the last. A user bought one and the bios as actually modified to make it show up as a 650ti, but the specs are all messed up. I am guessing it was something from an older generation.

Look at the cooler. No way it would cool a high end card.

Ali card. by the cooler alone it is a low-mid end card

Real card. Look at that cooler for comparison.

All very helpful answers! I'm looking for a PCI-E Directx11 graphics card that can play The Witcher 3 when it's released. I already have 8gb of ram and an 8 core computer I'm just missing the graphics card. My budget is around up to £60. I would like something better than my old GTS 450.
Thank you again

That is not allot of money. You may want to look at something like the AMD HD 7770 or R7 260X in that price range. On the Nvidia side the GTX 750ti may be able to be found for the right price.

These are entry level to mid level cards so the performance will not be over the top. You can see them all in various games here(please note they also use a very fast cpu).

For power to performance the 750ti is hard to beat. It takes very little power and offers playable performance with some settings tweaks on more demanding games.

I am sure someone who has more information on getting cards in your area will come along :)

I can assure you that is NOT a GTX 650ti.

That is the very card I warned of. It is an older generation rebranded.

1. GPU: GK106
2. Technology: 28nm
3. Die Size: 221mm2
4. Transistors: 2540M
5. Device ID: 10DE-11C6
6. Subvendor: NVIDIA(10DE)
7. ROPs/ TMUs: 48 / 5 should be 16/64
8. Bus Interface: PCI-E 1.1x16 is a 3.0 card, but the 1.1 would work
9. Shaders: 64 Unified should be 768 of these
10. Pixel Fillrate: 31.2 GPixel/s should be 15.9
11. Texture Fillrate: 3.2 G Texel/s should be 63.6
12. Memory Type: GDDR3 should be GDDR5
13. Bus Width: 384Bit should be 128
14. Memory Size: 2048MB
15. Bandwidth: 31.1 GB/ S should be 86.4
16. GPU Clock: 650 MHz; Memory: 324 MHz should be 925 and 1350
17. Default Clock: 650 MHz; Memory: 650 MHz; Shader: 1625 MHz should be 925 1350 and 925

Here are the specs on my GTX 650ti(it is slightly factory overclocked from 925 MHz). Have a comparison.

Because they have a bulk of old card that people will end up buying as something else.

The GK106 is not even able to meet those specs. It is just too different.

You have to be real careful buying things at auction sites. I mean 90% of the 1% tolerance metal film resistors on these sites are carbon film with 5% tolerance. This is not an issue for some circuits, but could be for others(this is why we have authorized dealers when we NEED legit parts and even they have had problems with fakes in the past).

eBay is also trustworthy, doesn't mean anything and everything on that site should be trusted.
Reviews are either morphed or from people who have never used a graphics card before.

When I got my Geforce 210 in 2011, I was pretty happy with the card, games went pretty well compared to my GMA950 integrated graphics. I later learned it's one of the slowest cards of its generation, and among later cards.

Now this is a long shot but do you live anywhere close to Norwich, Ozzy541?
I ask because your pricing is in pounds and I've got a rather modified HD7950 going begging ATM, if you DO live nearby, drop me a Personal Message, maybe we can come to an arrangement.
