Performance comparison: which is faster?
GeForce GTX 460 (NVIDIA, 2010) and GeForce GTX 650 Ti (NVIDIA, 2012) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: nearly equal
Both have 1GB of VRAM, so they support a similar range of generative AI models. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | GTX 460 | GTX 650 Ti |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 2,800 | 2,800 |
| VRAM | 1GB | 1GB |
| Manufacturer | NVIDIA | NVIDIA |
| Series | GTX 400 | GTX 600 |
| Release Year | 2010 | 2012 |
| Compatible CPU Example | AMD Athlon II X3 445 | AMD Athlon II X3 445 |
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | GTX 460 |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | GTX 460 |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | GTX 460 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
Their scores are nearly identical (GTX 460: 2800 points / GTX 650 Ti: 2800 points). In this case, compare price, VRAM, and power draw.
Both have 1GB of VRAM, so the range of generative AI models they can run is nearly the same.
Using our guideline, AMD Athlon II X3 445 pairs well with GTX 460 and AMD Athlon II X3 445 with GTX 650 Ti (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
