ZOTAC GeForce GTX 660 and GTX 650 Pictured

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 660 and GTX 650 Pictured geforce gtx 660 geforce gtx 650
Chinese forums are full of unconfirmed leaks about upcoming mid-range graphics cards from NVIDIA. While not all of them can be verified, the pictures are something we can assume is trustworthy.

Member of Chinese PCinlife forums has leaked a picture of both upcoming cards — GTX 660 and GTX 650. It’s believed that the cards are from ZOTAC, because GTX 650 has non-reference cooler installed and the stickers are quite similar to previous models.

The GeForce GTX 660 would feature a blower-type fan. It has the same type of the cooler which is used in four cards from NVIDIA right now (GTX 670, GTX 660 Ti, GTX 660 OEM, GTX 660). The card is based on GK106 GPU, which features 960 CUDA cores and 24 ROPs. This reference model will be clocked at 980/1033 MHz for base and boost respectively.

The shorter GK107-based GeForce GTX 650 graphics card from ZOTAC has a dual-slot design with a large fan on the top. This model has 384 CUDA cores and is basically a GT 640 with GDDR5 memory.

Both cards would feature the same type of display outputs: HDMI, DisplayPort and two DVI’s, but default outputs for GTX 650 are different for reference card.

According to the latest information GeForce GTX 660 would cost around $230-250 while GeForce GTX 650 $149. Both models will be released on September 12th.

    In my shop has brought about 80 pieces of 660 and 650, while the price is not known.
    They can be unpacked, to touch, but not to photograph under the sanction dealership!

    Feel free to post a drawing if you want to ;)
    How is it that you order the cards for unknown price? So what else is forbidden, can you post the specs of those models?

  • Merdiso

    150$ for 650 is still too much, since I doubt it will beat 7770 which can be found at 130-135$.
    By the way, it’s a shame that Nvidia is going to call 650 a GT”X”.

    I’ll go to work until tomorrow, I will try to rewrite some of the information from the box. It is understood that they are under the supervision of a security camera and can not be there for long. Entered and immediately went

    This would happen if tomorrow will bring new stock, which should be set to the allowed day, in three or four days, or denied access to the room.

    Don’t get yourself caught :) Sounds like a mission for James Bond, what I’m particularly interested in are model naming, manufacturer codes and clock speeds.

    At $150, I’d rather buy an HD6870, GTX560Ti and skip this entire 28nm budget marketing poop that NV and AMD brought this generation. HD7750/7770 aren’t even as good as the 6870.

    This 6870 is 18% faster than HD7770 for $150 for example:

    GTX560 Ti is 32% faster than 7770. Performance: http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/2012/test-grafikkarten-2012/3/

  • Merdiso

    I agree, both AMD & Nvidia low-end/mainstream new series are quite crap.

  • Raghar

    He would probably remember model naming and clock speeds, and if I’d do some HW reviews it would be enough for me. If he could say something about power connectors, and about VRM it would be nice as well, and probably still not violating NDA.

    Some curiosity should be expected from employees, and in worst case theirs chief can tell them which stuff they can talk about, and which don’t. In worst case theirs chief would go down in flames with them.

    Lot of this stuff is floating on the net anyway (manufacturing numbers DON’T), and it would be viewed only as an independent confirmation.

    3dmark11 score will be definetly more than 560 & 560ti
    perform equal to 560 in 70% of games not in all (on no AA) ,
    worse in higher resolution & to much performance loss while heavy load+explosions+blasts+while loading heavy duty textures etc

    Its business gtx 560 & gtx 560 ti will remains unique and special even after release of low end gtx 650

    The worst part about it is that GTX650 is just a GT640 but with GDDR5. So why didn’t NV launch that card for $129 or so 2-3 months ago? They are like asleep at the wheel. It should have been available for budget gamers 1 quarter ago. GTX660 looks good until you look at the texture fillrate (64% deficit vs. GTX680). That’s intense. Can’t see GTX660 even outperforming a nearly 2 year old GTX570/HD6950 unlocked. Not much value against 7870s either. I am hoping NV will launch GTX700 series a lot closer to AMD next round so that we get price wars and good value for the majority of gamers right off the bat. Because NV was so late this round and shifter wafer production to laptops, for 6 months gamers had to wait for a GTX660Ti. I feel it’s a bit unfair on NV’s part as they were shoving us with older GTX500 products, or we had to pay $300-350 for 7870 which was overpriced at that level.

    I feel like 7950 is well worth the extra $70 over the 7870/660Ti because with an OC it can give you $500 GTX680 / 7970 GE level of performance. It’s really a great bargain now, especially if prices drop to $275-285. Based on how GTX660Ti takes a dive with MSAA, I am not expecting 660 to be any different.
