Graphics Card help!!!

karl500

Need help,
I haven't a clue whats the difference with:
<<Asus 2GB GDDR5 Nvidia GeForce GTX 650Ti Boost Graphics Card (PCI Express 3.0, HDMI, DVI-I, DVI-D, Display Port, 192-Bit, NVIDIA 3D Vision Ready>>

and with this:
<<Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC Graphics Card (2GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0>>

just need to know which to buy because there both around the same price but the first one is sold out and the other isn't and whats the difference?

cheers,karl

Looks like both are the same card with one just being factory overclocked slightly differently to the other (different version). Effectively the same card, same manufacturer.

OC (overclocked) vs Boost (another word for overclocked). GPU Marketing speak.

Buy the one that's in stock if there is no big price difference.

The Ti Boost is much faster

the other is a regular Ti which is overclocked

Confusing I know but there you go

will there be much of a difference in the ti boost than the other?

Sorry to jump in on your thread but what does everyone think of this compared to the ones above?

MSI GeForce GTX 650Ti OC Boost Edition Twin Frozr 2GB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Memory Size(MB):- 2048
Memory Interface:- 192 bits
Core Clock Speed(MHz):- 1033 (Boost Clock: 1098)
Memory Clock Speed(MHz):- 6008 MHz

One on adverts.ie for €130 and it's new, do you think it's worth it?

yes ti Boost is about 20% faster, which is a lot in graphics cards terms

Depends for what? Gaming it will be ok. What price you have in mind? Theres a Sapphire 7870 on Pixmania for 152, great card.
