MSI N650 PE 1GD5/OC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650, 1GB GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card Review

I just got this Power Edition GTX 650. I had a MSI 560Ti Twin Frozr II before, but really don't game hard core anymore, so I sold that (made $$) and got this. First off the Power Edition has some nice features including the option to add a second fan. I added the fan using the stacked feature, not necessarily because I expect to run the card at load a lot, but because a cooler card equals longer life span and the added noise is negligible. I like how the fan runs backwards when you first power up your system to dislodge dust. I find this card runs very cool overall; about 10 degrees C lower than my previous 560Ti, and rarely does the fan ramp up above 60% (granted I do have custom fan speeds set using Afterburner). As for Afterburner, it appears as though MSI needs to release a new version because none of the voltage mods are not available yet. The card is recognized, but certain features are locked out. I read this in a media review as well (I think it was Tech Powerup). MSI, please get on your game!
The only gaming I do anymore is Flight Sim X, which is more CPU-intensive than GPU, so this is a perfect card to go with my Core i5-2500K. I get a few FPS lower than the 560Ti -- but in FSX your best bet is to set FPS at a fixed 35-40 anyhow. I don't play any shooter games so I can't comment on those. Windows Experience Index (WEI) for gaming graphics and aero both came in at 7.7 compared to 7.9 for the 560Ti. And I haven't run any benchmarks yet, but I don't place much value on them anyhow.
Some reviews have said this card is over-priced compared to similar ATI cards, and even stock GTX 650 cards, but I'll gladly pay 20 bucks more to have a second fan and the options to tweak settings. MSI just needs to get on the ball and update Afterburner. If you're a mainstream casual gamer who still wants very good performance; or perhaps a geek who likes to tinker and tweak their GPUs, this is a great option.

Update 10/15/12: MSI Afterburner software is all set and working fine with the card now (oddly, no update or anything?). And for those that benchmark, this came in at 19111 3DMark06 at default settings with a Core i5-2500K @ 4.3GHz, SSD, and an ASUS ROG motherboard. So far it's the highest result out of 60 GTX 650 cards in the database.
