Power, temps and noise
Higher in-game power tends to go hand in hand with higher power consumption. GTX 650 Ti Boost looks power-thirsty compared to some other cards, but remember that 164W load is a piddly amount for a gaming rig - even the lowest-wattage retail PSUs will be able to run such a PC... and our Corsair AX750 is pure overkill; it can power a dual-GTX TITAN machine without hiccup.
Mid-pack temperature and noise readings round out the performance segment of the review. Note, however, that custom-cooled partner cards are likely to further enhance thermal and acoustic performance.
