Introduction

Apart from higher clock speeds, GPU Boost, a wider memory interface, and double the memory of the original GeForce GTX 650 Ti, NVIDIA gave the new GTX 650 Ti Boost variant SLI capability. The card can pair with another of its kind. At its price-point, a single GTX 650 Ti BOOST delivers some interesting results. Find out more about it in our single-card reviews:

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost (reference design)
• ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost DirectCU II OC
• ZOTAC GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost

Given that the 2 GB variant of the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost is priced at around $170, a SLI setup of two should set you back just shy of $340, which enters the foothills of high-end territory. Single-card offerings at that price include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti and AMD Radeon HD 7950 Boost.

The SLI duo of GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost cards has its task cut out. Their goal is to beat single-card offerings around the $340 price-point in as many tests of our suite as possible. It doesn't stop there. Being a dual-GPU solution, it even bears the burden of having to present a compelling alternative to single-GPU cards priced above the $340 price point and is, as such, pitted against offerings approaching the $400 mark—GeForce GTX 670 and Radeon HD 7970 territory.
