    Summary

    Synthetic performance index

    • GeForce GTX 280
      100%
    • GeForce GTX 650 Ti
      170%

    Relative performance

    Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 280

    Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Tesla), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications
    PhysX support, however PhysX performance on newest games may be poor

    Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 650 Ti

    126 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 280 .
    This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support.
    Around 70% higher average synthetic performance.
    Supports PhysX
    Supports G-Sync
    Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty)
    Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Kepler), there are less performance optimizations for current games and applications
    GeForce GTX 650 Ti

    HWBench recommends GeForce GTX 650 Ti

    The GeForce GTX 650 Ti is the better performing card based on the synthetic benchmarks used (1 benchmarks).
