Even though the GeForce GTX 650 Ti supports four video monitors, the standard model has only three video connectors, so you are limited to three monitors with the reference model. The Gigabyte GV-N65TOC-2GI, on the other hand, comes with two DVI-D connectors, one HDMI connector, and one VGA connector, supporting four displays.

The standard GeForce GTX 650 Ti uses a 75 mm fan on a small aluminum heatsink. One of the main advantages of the Gigabyte GV-N65TOC-2GI is the use of a better cooling solution, using two 100 mm fans on top of an aluminum heatsink. This custom cooler has two heatpipes that touch the GPU. This cooler, however, doesn’t touch the memory chips. The GeForce GTX 650 Ti has a TDP of 110 W.
