NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Round-Up: ZOTAC, Gigabyte, EVGA and MSI

Do you think it'd be worth it to slap this thing along side a Q6600, or is my processor just too much of a bottleneck at this point? I'm currently running a GTX 470. Still runs like a dream for any console port, but for the more recent PC exclusives or recent ports that have PC exclusive features it's starting to show its age.

You may be CPU limited in some circumstances, but you'd end up with lower power consumption and a cooler / quieter system. The extra graphics performance would also let you run at higher resolutions with better image quality settings as well.

Things are getting really competitive at the top end of the gpu wars. The performance of the 660 TI at $300 makes me wonder if the premium you pay for a 670 or 680 is worth it?

Now I guess we'll be waiting for the 650 to come out. That should really heat things up as I am guessing it will cost ~$200, the meat & potatoes of the gpu world.

Saw an nvidia rep talking about this recenlty, it seems like a really solid drive but I feel like to get true power you would need to SLI it.

Still probably going to go for the GTX 670 so future I can SLI it :/ Could be done with the 660Ti too but if the funds are there why not?

How can Battlefield 3 be left out? :/ If there's one game to test it's BF3...it's the most advanced game AND is vendor neutral.

YAY! Been waiting on this one!

Its nice for entry level gaming for my son. If i have a choice i would get a 670 by zotac.

I just prefer to use tests that are easily repeatable and consistent from run to run, not only by me, but anyone reading. BF3 is awesome, but any tests we'd do, may not jibe with others, or a reader trying to see how their system compares, etc.

Although its more expensive than originally expected, the 660Ti is still an AMAZING Bang-for-your-buck card that will continue to be worth every cent you payed, for a very, very long time.

The Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti is the best looking in my opinion. I would love to have the card for a future build. Thanks for the awesome review on the GTX 660 Ti!

Now I guess we'll be waiting for the 650 to come out. That should really heat things up as I am guessing it will cost ~$200, the meat & potatoes of the gpu world.

You guys gave marks to the Zotac card for including a game coupon. I think it's worth mentioning that right now you can get Borderlands 2 for free with any Nvidia card that is a 660 Ti or better! :-P

Won't beat the price per performance of the GTX670.

I think TXAA is great, I read an article about it and seen visuals. I hope they can bring this to their other line of cards if thats possible. I own a GTX570 so there is no reason to go to the 660Ti but having TXAA would be great!

if you want me to test them on bf3 just send me 1 i promise i may send it beck!

Currently we have two 8400GS cards running four monitors (1920 X 1200). We run Adobe CS6 and want to speed up our graphics (they are currently the slowest item on the Windows Experience rating) We have had great experiences with Nvidia and are wondering if two of these cards GTX 660 Ti would be a good upgrade for this machine. (Windows 7 is running on a 256GB SSD and the power supply is a Thermatake Silent 430W TR2).

What do you think?
