[ASUS_za]

Taipei, Taiwan — ASUS today announced global availability of the GeForce® GTX 650-E, a motherboard bus-powered DirectX® 11.1 graphics card that’s ideal for desktop PCs with low-wattage power supplies The GeForce® GTX 650-E combines DirectX® 11.1 compatibility and 28nm NVIDIA® GPU technology with a mere 60W power consumption, making it a very appealing upgrade option for users looking for a high-performance graphics card at an affordable price.



Motherboard-powered for easier and more eco-friendly upgrades
The ASUS GeForce® GTX 650-E offers a quick and accessible upgrade for customers interested in affordable NVIDIA® 28nm GPU technology. Powered from a PCI Express slot with a modest 60W average power consumption, the ASUS GeForce® GTX 650-E is an ideal choice for users looking to upgrade their PCs without investing in a new power supply, making the process much easier and less costly. Available with 1GB or 2GB GDDR5 video memory, the ASUS GeForce® GTX 650-E supports medium-to-high detail in current PC games, along with smooth 1080p full HD video playback.



Superior stability with Super Alloy Power
The ASUS GeForce® GTX 650-E features exclusive Super Alloy Power components that reduce power loss and extend the card’s lifespan by 2.5 times compared to a reference GeForce® GTX 650 card. Super Alloy Power components can withstand higher temperatures and greater stress than generic power delivery designs, with the custom solid-state capacitors rated for 50,000 hours.
With fan blades shaped to restrict dust build-up and reduce the amount of debris entering the shroud, the ASUS GeForce® GTX 650-E has a cooling system that maintains optimum heat dissipation for longer periods. ASUS testing shows this fan design can extend graphics card longevity by up to 25% compared to a reference GeForce® GTX 650 graphics card.

I think the design looks awesome.

I'm sure the card itself is pretty meh.
But damn, on looks alone it could keep up with top-end cards

For running on motherboard power alone, pretty impressive indeed.
