300$ for something beating or matching 670 stock? Not bad.

Yes Sir \m/ thats right .. Guru3d also said, "maybe .. just maybe even close in on a reference clocked GTX 680" , i doubt though

With the Recent launch of nvidia's 660-ti....it has killed two birds with one stone......pricing wise killed hd7870 and performance wise killed hd7950!!!!!!!!
I wonder how 650ti / 660 would perform now...though keplar and southern islands are little older tech now........!
but better for next year or so....!

Amazing performance at the price.

Its good to see custom versions coming out from different board makers on launch day. According to nvidia, there's no reference version of 660-ti. Here are some reviews:

I'm guessing the GTX660 3GB is having uniform memory architecture unlike the 2GB versions hence performance will be more persistent across the range.

 

[vickybat]

^^ Yeah you're right buddy. That galaxy is the best 660-ti out there.

Though i find tomshardware results questionable as compared to all others. Techpowerup tested the same card and got results similar to what other reviewers say.

660-ti beats a 7870 handsdown across all benchmarks and only tomshardware show otherwise. I'm starting to doubt on their reviews.

They seem to favour amd this gen.

Went through a lot of benchmarks of this card..
The GTX 660Ti looks good, and if it will be priced at around 17k then I am guessing it should sell like hot cakes considering it performs much better than the other cards in that price bracket..
I wonder what Asus will charge for it's version of the 660 ti.?!!
:mr green:

 

[abhinavmail1]

time for amd to cut prices of 7870.

My friend owns a galaxy card which is about 6 year old [forgot the number], good performer. He had a fan issue once and fixed it in few days.

But this galaxy 660ti is awesome. Got to see how Asus top version performs

Here you go mate

It beats a stock 7950 consistently. Brilliant performer.

^ i could see a lot of hate for cutting down the memory bit interface to 192 bit. Is it anyway gonna hurt the future games :/

 

[vickybat]

^^ Well its not that much of a con now. But it affects anti-aliasing performance in shader heavy titles as a full ROP is disabled along with a 64 bit memory controller.

But there's a plus side as well. In future, if txaa becomes as popular as fxaa, then we can see aa techniques do away with utilizing large memory bandwidth and a shorter bus with less bandwidth will matter relatively less.

So this move was necessary to bring the 660-ti's price level a hundred dollars down compared to a 670 but keeping the no. of sp's intact.

No problems in fullhd gaming and that is where this card is targetted.

 

[amjath]

^ thx for the info.
BTW Asus yet again takes the leadership in 660 ti damn

Here is a review which compares ASUS, Galaxy & MSI 600 ti's.

*www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/nvidia_gtx_660ti_roundup_asus_msi_galaxy/17.htm

IMO ASUS AND MSI is the best choice out there in 660 ti's

 

[max_snyper]

What can be said regarding the avaliability of the 660-ti in India ......
Zotac one is present but they are seriously overcharging(though the product has just been released)
When could be the msi PE be avaliable in India..?

Even I have a 6 year old Geforce 7600GS 256MB card , and it still works

but a 192bit memory interface? meh!

is it

Why what's wrong. Hope above Vickybat's comment is ur answer

 

[d6bmg]

^^ I'm talking about Indian price/performance ratio.

 

[amjath]

hmmmm but what do u think the price should be

 

[d6bmg]

18K at max.
