NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Video Card Review w/ ASUS, EVGA & MSI

NVIDIA today launched the GeForce GTX 660 Ti graphics card, which is available today starting at only $299. NVIDIA says that the GeForce GTX 660 Ti is 41 percent faster on average than the GTX 560 Ti from 2011, and 58 percent faster on average than the GTX 470 from 2010. Read on to see how it performance against several other cards from AMD and NVIDIA in our review today!

The lowest cost NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 on Newegg is the MSI N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC, which is $374 shipped after a $25 rebate. This GeForce GTX670 card is factory overclocked with a base clock of 965MHz and a boost clock of 1045MHz. Not a bad deal for a GeForce GTX 670, but the GeForce GTX660 Ti is a game changer. The NVIDIA SRP on the GeForce GTX 660 Ti is $300, so it is $74 less than the least costly GeForce GTX 670 video card. This makes the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti roughly 20% less and as you saw in the performance benchmarks it is a often beats the GeForce GTX 670 at a screen resolution of 1920x1080.

Guys your conclusion is a total joke. All three 660 Ti overclocked that you benchmark lose 3 out of 4 games to the 7870, nevermind the 7950. Honestly wtf are you on, look at your results again and you'll see that in gaming the 660 Ti is getting blown away here. Please update your conclusion appropriately.

The Rift-Planes of Telara benchmark numbers are useless as it is CPU bound.

The author of this review left PhysX enabled in Batman, so of course the NVIDIA cards will score lower as they are performing more tasks per pass. Those numbers don't mean much.

Dirt Showdown and Just Cause 2 always run well on AMD as they are AMD game titles.

If anything we need to change the tests and not the conclusions.

You can make up any excuse you want to justify poor Nvidia performance, but that still doesn't excuse the completely ludicrous conclusion based on the results.

Just Cause 2 is an Nvidia TWIMTBP title btw - AMD has nothing to do with that game. But sure, why not change the tests to favour Nvidia more - at least that way your conclusions will make sense.
