Technical data / Specifications

With the EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti SSC SuperSuperClocked you get a factory overclocked card almost following nVidia's specifications PCB and cooling wise. With a factory overclocking of 146 Mhz on the GPU and nothing on the memory, we believe the card will be around 10 % faster than the reference GTX 650 Ti. Furthermore with EVGA's SSC 2GB version you get twice the amount of video memory than nVidia's reference card.

Looking at clock speeds we see that the GPU runs at 1'071 MHz standard without any turbo or boost, oufff things are back to normal. While the stock designed GTX 650 Ti runs at 925 MHz without any boost as well. No factory overclocking has been made regarding the GDDR5 memory with stays clocked at 1'350 MHz (5'400 MHz effective) following  nVidia's recommendations. EVGA only decided to double the amount of memory.

Now looking at the physical specifications of the SuperSuperClocked version as said before EVGA follows nVidia's specs using a reference PCB for their card same, goes for the cooler. Nevertheless they made some slight changes. In fact the PCB and the cooler stay the same like the reference ones but EVGA tuned them a bit. For exmple EVGA changed a bit the power design, with the SSC card you get two MOSFETs for one Choke for the GPU VRM while nVidia's reference design has only one MOSFET for one Choke. One will say that the PCB is not the same then but in fact it's the same, nVidia just didn't solder all components on his card leaving some empty spots for manufacturers like EVGA who soldered some more stuff while keeping the same PCB. Again regarding the memory nVidia's PCB allow up to height memory chips but decided to solder only four for the reference one. Therefore EVGA to provide a 2GB version of the GTX 650 Ti just had to solder another four memory chips. Back to the power design, the SSC card we have here has a two phases analog VRM design for the GPU and one phase analog VRM design for the memory.
As for the cooler it is the same as nVidia's one with a different shield design. EVGA also added another PCI bracket for the air to go outside the case. Keep in mind that the card from EVGA is then not bigger than nVidia's one, they are both dual slots cards. Pictured below both cards:
