Review: ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti Direct CU II TOP

Power, temps and noise

ASUS' card is larger than we'd like, absolutely, but power-draw remains excellent.

And under-load temperature is, well, exceptional.

Rounding off impressive performance in the non-gaming tests, the cooler's fans barely spin up when under load. It's a case of (intentional) heatsink overkill on what really is a mainstream GPU.
