![]() ![]() I am not disappointed by any means, just was expected a little more performance for the extra heat and power. The 660Ti is a little louder due to higher temps (although the "loudness" is relative - it's a very quiet card overall) and draws more power (this was expected). The 650Ti was extremely quiet, ran very cool and didn't use a lot of power. That being said, the 660Ti is a great card. The 650Ti was a placeholder card until I finished my computer build. After reviewing benchmarks and reviews, I deemed this card a worthy upgrade. ![]() Overall Review: I replaced a very nice Gigabyte 650Ti with this card. Compared to my original GTX550Ti, both cards are far superior in every way. This is all compared to a recently installed GTX 650Ti. Not quite as fast as I had hoped (see other thoughts). I am happy with the Gigabyte cooling solution, it keeps the card cool and quiet.Ĭons: Uses 2圆-pin PCIe plugs. Card ran as soon as I plugged everything in and hasn't stopped in a week.Īfter looking at reviews and benchmarks, I decided on the Gigabyte model because of its larger fans - this makes the card run cool and quiet and that was the deciding feature. Not a single crash or problem using latest Gigabyte OC utility (downloaded from website) and latest 310.70 Nvidia drivers (also downloaded). Excellent X-Plane / FS2004 / Civ4 / Skyrim gaming card. Excellent framerates in the games I play - no slowdowns or studders. temp - I don't want the temp above 69 deg and I set the fans speed accordingly. I use the "manual" setting and specify the fan speed vs. In "auto" the fan was basically idle until temps got above 75 deg. ![]() The stock Gigabyte OC utility allows you to set the fan to "auto" or "manual". Generally the fan run at 45-60% in almost all circumstances and would be considered inaudible. ![]() Even at 80% fan speed its a hushed whir sound. Today we are going to take a quick look at the results and see what just under $460 in GTX 660’s will get you.Pros: Super fast card. Of course I did! I put them through the same collection of tests that I tested the individual cards with. Assuming you took a look at both reviews I’m sure you are very curious if I paired them up and did testing. Yesterday I had the chance to publish my reviews and testing results from two different GTX 660’s one a reference designed card with and overclock from EVGA and the second another overclocked card with a unique thermal solution from MSI. ![]()
