recommendations for Asus graphics card

[eudorajjj]

Hi people, for graphics card I am thinking of getting ASUS one. For GTX 650, there's O.C DDR 5, TOP DDR5, TI O.C DDR5 and TI BOOST DCII. I would like to know what's the difference among these few? If I getting one for my desktop, any advise? Thanks guys!

First, make sure you know which GPU chip you're looking at, you're already mixing up GTX 650 with the GTX 650ti and GTX 650ti Boost. These 3 are different chips with significant performance differences to begin with.

Secondly, any SKU without the DirectCU suffix means it isn't using Asus's special signature-design aftermarket cooler. DirectCU = 1 fan, DirectCU II = 2 fans. TOP just means a slightly faster factory overclocked card than the already factory overclocked DirectCU model.

GTX xxx = Asus/reference cooler with stock nvidia spec speeds
GTX xxx OC = Asus/reference cooler with factory overclock
GTX xxx DirectCU = Asus signature cooler with factory overclock
GTX xxx DirectCU TOP = Asus signature cooler with higher factory overclock
