EVGA 01G-P4-2650-KR GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Small Size. Works with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 in my Hackintosh. Relatively cheap. Fan isn't as loud as my GT 9800 card. Runs my 2560 x 1440 monitor no problem. (I don't game.)

Cons: No SLI. (I don't need it.) Must boot with GraphicsEnabler=No to boot OS X. Didn't work under Lion, so had to upgrade to Mountain Lion. No Display Port. (don't need it.) Seems like the fan is loud for a new card.

Other Thoughts: Sold the game coupon that came with the card for $17.00 on that Bay site.

Pros: HDMI
Dual DVI
Small Frame
Low cost

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: This is a great video card for a casual gamer or someone on a budget. It works flawlessly and it extremely quiet. You do need at minimum 400watts PSU but you can get a good 500w for a good price here on new egg. If your into casual gaming or just on a budget, this 650 series is a good place to look!

Pros: Reasonable price. Small frame. Good cost/performance ratio.

Cons: Need a separate power. My Geforce 9800 GT didn't need a separate power. Not sure this is a real con, but it's low-end card.

Other Thoughts: Bought one to replace my 4.5 year old Geforce 9800 GT that died weeks ago. The MB only supports PCI-E 2.0. There is no problem to install and run it. Haven't tried the software yet. Hope it will last a little longer. I read an review somewhere else that the card is loud. Mine is very quiet. But I am not a game player and hasn't stressed the card yet.

Pros: It's a modern GPU at a good price point. Nothing over the top, but it can play newer games.

Cons: I needed to upgrade my processor to use it to its full potential. The mail in rebate process was way too involved and may not be worth your time.

Other Thoughts: Dual-core processors will bottleneck this card. If you do not have a quad-core, your frame rates will suffer substantially.

Pros: cheap. small. Dual DVI possible on Hackintosh. Works Out of the Box in Hackintosh Mountain Lion using boot flag GraphicsEnabler=No

Cons: Rebate Paperwork. Lion 10.7.5 will not run this card - Or at least I couldn't get it to fly. So I had to upgrade my hacktintosh to Mountain Lion for this to run. ML upgrade was a HUGE PITA. But hackintoshs are known for such shenanagins, so I shouldn't complain too loudly about that. No SLI on this card (SLI supposedly works on a hackintosh on my mobo (Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R rev 2.0) with proper SLI DSDT

Other Thoughts: GraphicsEnabler=No required to boot Hackintosh

Pros: Fast, getting 7.3 Windows Experience Index for both Graphics and Gaming Graphics now. Can play DAYZ in the 30-40 frames per second area which is really nice and better than the other $20 video card I was using. The price was right, 72 after rebate and coupon code.

Cons: The extra 4 pin power cable to the card was a bit of a surprise to me. I didn't realize I needed that but was happy that my updated power supply had that extra unused cable. I just plugged it in and it worked fine, just took me an extra 10 minutes to figure out.

Others have said the fan is loud. I hear nothing, mine is not audible, which is great.

Other Thoughts: I wanted to buy another one but I'll wait until the next rebate and coupon code.

New Egg ships fast with Shoprunner too.

Running on an AMD Phenom II X6 1045T System with MSI 880G-e45 motherboard.

Pros: Great performance for the price. I expected nothing less than this from EVGA.

Cons: Bogs a little when watching 1080p movies on a 120hz HDTV, but otherwise none.

Other Thoughts: Fan could be quieter.

Pros: Great graphics speed for a recreational gamer not looking for anything special. Runs Minecraft on practically max settings ~120 fps (no skins or anything, default graphics). Very simple to install IF IF IF you have the right hardware. I
can't emphasize that enough. I only had a 300W power supply and didn't care to check the requirements thinking my computer was a beast. Had to go out and replace the PSU because the minimum for this card is 400W. It also needs either a six pin PCIe cord or two three pin cords in which you can attach the adapter to that comes with the card. After that, everything went smoothly and fast (~3-4 minutes for installation).

Cons: Just look out for the requirements. Your average factory installed computer may need an upgrade, particularly the PSU. Need to go online to install the driver if you have Windows 8; can't use CD.

Other Thoughts: Once again, this card gets it done if you're not looking for a super-uber-crazy mad scientist experiment tower. All I run is a Dell Inspiron 660 with 8 gigs and core i5.

Pros: Does what I bought it to do; run three monitors for day trading, no gaming.

Cons: Fan is RIDICULOUSLY loud. Sounds like a mini hair dryer that I can hear from outside of my room. Definitely not the typical characteristics of these cards. RMA after 2 days of use..

Other Thoughts: Picked it up to run three monitors, used mainly for day trading; no gaming. Card installed easily and powered monitors efficiently.

Pros: Good solid card for the money. Lots of stream processors. SMALL! For those whose cases are on the tight side this card is a wonder; it runs cool and doesn't make the lights go dim when it boots up. If you are moving up from a 400 series card or lower, this is a good buy.

Cons: Based on nVidia's own website, this card is not that different performance-wise from their 550 card, so if you are looking for an upgrade from your 550Ti, this isn't it unless you are in a cramped case. Save your coins for a 650 Ti Boost and get that. You'll never regret it, and the 650Ti Boost can be SLI'd, unlike the standard 650.

Other Thoughts: I was running a 550 Ti and upgraded to this card (650) and honestly I can't see a bit of difference in speed, quality, or video clarity. If you are upgrading from a three year old card, or a low level card, its a good buy. If you expected a massive boost relative to the 550, it isn't there. Sorry.
