GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 660 Ti GV-N66TOC-2GD Video Card

I bought this to replace my aging GTX-295 SLI card, and this single card is actually faster than the SLI, and of course much MUCH quieter than less power-hungry.The oversized fans are barely audible, even with a heavy game running. You don't hear them spin up to jet-engine levels like some other cards. Even though it's lightly overclocked from the factory, there is still a good 150-200mhz of OC headroom thanks to the very efficient cooler and increased Max TDP. The bundled Gigabyte "OC Guru" software is utter garbage, one of its DLL files was causing all sorts of crashes and lag, so use MSI Afterburner instead, it works fine with this card.2560x1440 is no problem at all, I've been playing WoW, D3, League of Legends, Dirt 3 and a few others with maxed-out settings. 60fps solid with vsync, no hiccups whatsoever. 2D surround is playable at 5760x1080, but the framerate drop s to 40-45 fps unless I turn off AA, then it's back to 60fps - I frankly don't notice the jagged edges at that resolution anyway.7680x1440 was very choppy, often dipping below 20 fps. Really, if you have three QHD monitors and want maxed-out 2D surround, you need to drop  2-large on a trio of GTX 680 4gb cards. The mainstream just isn't anywhere near that kind of horsepower yet - maybe in a couple of years....Very impressive for a mid-range card, fantastic performance per dollar. Would buy again without hesitation!

oced to 1230mhz core clock and 6800mhz on memory,after gpu boost kicks in automatically.runs Bf3 45-90's fps with everything maxed out,average in the 60's.doesnt go over 66 degrees,idk why anyone would bother with 670/680,especially for the price they ask.Get this card,you wont regret it.you can also sli them if you want 3d vision like me,but i honestly don't know if ill need it.running this with 3570k oced to 4.4-4.6. mobo- maximus gene v

It is overclocked out of the box for no extra charge. Temperatures are fairly low. It has two dvi ports, which is a must for me.

Got this on a decent deal.. Came with Borderlands 2 so that basically cut the cost of the GPU itself by $50-$60 depending how much you can sell the Borderlands 2 digital copy for. Other then that no problems and good product as usual from Gigabyte!

Everywhere I go on the internet, this cards seems like it's not selling much. I understand that people want some good looking components but that has to be the most irrelevant thing to me. This card has higher tdp limit than the other boards meaning better overclock and higher boost frequencies than most other 660 ti.On a hot day with msi kombustor and overclock to 1300mhz core 6800mhz memory, the card never got above 70 celsius and the fan wasn't audible. It stayed in the high 60's if I set the fan to 65% and it is still almost inaudible at that speed.Gigabyte only choose tire 1 memory ending in some of the best overclocks. So yeah, if you really want good looking, go for the MSI 660 ti PE(noisier and hotter than this one), but I got to say, this card impress me. With the free borderlands 2 I got, I can't complain at all. Perfect for 1080p resolution.I hesitated between this and a sapphire 7950 OC 950mhz, I know they overclock easily to 1100 core but their real advantage is at higher resolutions.So from my experience with the card, it's a no brainer, I recommend this to anyone that want the best for their money regardless of appearance of the thing. My case looks good and that's the only thing I look at. If you'll spend your whole life looking at your case side window and you know it will disturb you so much then go for MSI.
