GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs GeForce GTX 650 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 650 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti has significantly more memory with 11 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 650 has a significantly lower TDP at 64 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti at 250 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is faster than the GeForce GTX 650.
