GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST

2013

Why buy it

✅Costs $331 less on MSRP ($169 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
✅Delivers 190.7% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 20.2 vs 7.0 G3D/$ ($169 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon Pro 560 across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌78.7% higher power demand at 134W vs 75W.

Radeon Pro 560

2017

Why buy it

✅43.0% more average FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Draws 75W instead of 134W, a 59W reduction.
✅More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Pro 560 better than GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST?

Yes. Radeon Pro 560 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 43.0% more average FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data and 1.8% higher PassMark G3D performance. It also comes from 2017 instead of 2013, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon Pro 560 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon Pro 560 is about 195.9% more expensive on MSRP at $500 MSRP versus $169 MSRP, and you are getting 43.0% more estimated average FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data and 1.8% higher G3D Mark. GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST make more sense than Radeon Pro 560?

Yes. GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is future-proofing and staying closer to $169 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon Pro 560. The trade-off is that Radeon Pro 560 currently gives you 1.8% higher G3D Mark and 43.0% more estimated average FPS across 47 tracked games in our benchmark data. GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
