Power Consumption
With electricity becoming increasingly expensive across most parts of the world the need for computer components to become power efficient has never been more relevant. Graphics cards are often the most power hungry components inside a system so having an efficient graphics card is very important to keeping power bills under control. Power is often correlated to heat and so lower power consumption means a graphics card is likely to run slightly cooler and put out less heat into your system meaning your other components will run cooler with improved longevity. AMD and Nvidia have also both made power consumption an integral part of the way graphics cards dynamically overclock so the need for graphics card vendors to use efficient VRM and PCB designs is becoming important to maximise performance.

Sites that review any of these cards give a lead to the GTX650Ti Boost, in most instances it has to do with the high end Enthusiast gaming machine (ie some OC i7, 16Gb, and SSD). When isn what most folk who buy this level of hardware install in, a pedestrian box with (i3/FX-4300) the ability to garner high or ultra-settings at 1080p and playable FPS don’t translate into the staggering wins most reviews show for the GTX650Ti Boost.
