Amazon has the MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Power Edition 1GB GDDR5 OC 2DVI/Mini HDMI PCI-Express N650TI PE 1GD5/OC Video Card for $134 - $30 rebate [Exp 12/31] = $104 with free shipping. Goes for $165+ elsewhere. Features 384 CUDA Cores.
Ok this is the buy it ASAP if you've been looking! Good deal though the rebate is high it's a ton of BfB!
What this card is for OC'n, and with that (if yours gets to 1200Mhz you’re doing really good) it can provide some very acceptable game play even at 1920x in many title's. When this card is in the $135'ish it was something, although nipping at the heels of 7850 1Gb that are $155-165 the difference of $20 was "you get what you pay for"... But this is why we wait for good deals!
Looks like I'm in for one. I've always liked MSI cards, and have always gotten my rebates. Eventually (always the downside of MSI). But this does appear to be a great value and makes me feel a little better for missing all those shots I meant to take at discounted 68xx-series cards over the past year.
#3 - This will spars or be a little stronger than the 6850 while power and heat so much lower, at this price it's $15 lower than most of the 6850 deals I can recall.
CC, yeah I kept waiting for "the 68's" to keep falling, but I never saw the 70's fall below ~$130 and 50's about this price. And though my two-year old 4870 still handles most of what my relatively low-demand gamer fare throws at it, I thought I should finally see what this "new" DX 11 I keep reading about is like. As previously asserted, this is a great price and with the other pluses you mention plus what appears to be considerable OC headroom, easy jump to make. My past experience with overclocking an old MSI 240GT was further encouragement - their software was easy nor a newb to navigate.
Yes, Good card for the price. Wish they throw a game with it.. Makes it a really good deal.. that I have to score one. Even with-out it still good price. I was wondering, How effective it is? about the 30 seconds fan spin backward then forward when computer first turn on..

I like this article lot of information.. even infrared thermals, while hover over the words under the graphs’ to see it sort different.

I had good luck with the MSI brand. EVGA not so good.
