Nvidia introduces GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST GPU for an affordable gaming experience

 

Nvidia has introduced the GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST GPU that is designed to give a quality gaming experience at an affordable price. Based on the Nvidia Kepler architecture and equipped with 768 Nvidia CUDA cores, the GTX 650 Ti BOOST GPU claims to offer up to 40% more performance over the original GeForce GTX 650 Ti GPU introduced last year.

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST includes features typically reserved for more expensive, higher-end GPUs, including support for Nvidia's GPU Boost technology that dynamically adjusts GPU performance to meet the real-time graphics processing demands of games, and Nvidia SLI technology, which allows gamers to use multiple GPUs to "double up" on performance.

With a wider 192-bit memory interface and up to 60 percent more memory bandwidth than the original, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST GPU lets gamers play their favourite games at 1080p at high-quality settings with smooth frame delivery and comfortable frame rates for even the most graphically demanding games on the market today. The GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST also comes with support for Nvidia PhysX technology - the "world's most pervasive physics engine" for experiencing real-time, real-world effects.

Nvidia claims that gamers upgrading from an older GPU will see a significant increase in both image quality and performance with the new GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST. Take the 9600 GT for example, the seventh most-popular GPU on gaming platform Steam. Now five years old, the 9600 GT is over six times slower than the GTX 650 Ti BOOST, which sports four times as much memory and twelve times the number of CUDA Cores, and can render the latest DirectX 11 effects and features.

NVIDIA launches $999 GeForce GTX TITAN powered by 'world's fastest GPU'

NVIDIA has unveiled its new GeForce GTX TITAN chip which, according to the chipmaker, is powered by the fastest ever GPU and designed for the fastest gaming PCs including personal gaming supercomputers and small form-factor PCs.

The chip is powered by 2668 graphics cores, which, as per the company, is 75 percent more than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 GPU. It contains 7 billion transistors and claims to delivers 4.5 Teraflops of single precision and 1.3 Teraflops of double precision processing power. It also supports new GPU Boost 2.0 technology which automatically boosts graphics performance and supports unlocked voltage and advanced controls for more gaming control and overclocking customization.

According to NVIDIA, the GPU harnesses the power of 3 GeForce GTX TITAN GPUs simultaneously in 3-way SLI mode, which allows gamers to max out every visual setting without the fear of a meltdown while playing any of the most demanding PC gaming titles. Just like the GeForce GTX 690, which NVIDIA had launched in July, last year, the GPU sports an aluminum chassis.

The GeForce GTX TITAN GPU will be available starting February 25, 2013 and is expected to be priced at $999.

"GeForce GTX TITAN is a beast of a GPU -- and the only one in the world powerful enough to play any game at any resolution at any time," said Scott Herkelman, general manager of the GeForce business unit at NVIDIA. "And yet, all of this immense power is housed in a sleek, sexy design, so gamers can also build beautifully-designed PC gaming machines about the size of a gaming console, yet magnitudes more powerful and always upgradeable."

The GTX TITAN is built with the same NVIDIA Kepler architecture that powers Oak Ridge National Laboratory's newly launched Titan supercomputer.
