Palit GeForce GTX 660 Ti JETSTREAM Pro Reviews

NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 660 Ti will be a hit, of that I am sure. The card delivers excellent performance levels at reasonable power consumption, which enables board partners to create low-noise custom designs. The new GTX 660 Ti is almost twice as fast as the last-generation GTX 560 Ti, but comes at a $50 higher introductory price. Palit's GTX 660 Ti uses a custom cooling solution which we've seen before on the Palit GTX 670. It does use a close-to-reference PCB design though. Thanks to the overclock out of the box, the card achieves a 5% performance improvement over the reference design. This makes the card just 8% slower than the GTX 670 and 5% faster than AMD's HD 7950, which is more expensive. Palit's triple-slot cooler does a good job of keeping the card cool even though I would have expected less noise. Other GTX 660 Ti designs we reviewed today do better here with just two slots. The card is, nevertheless, quiet for its performance class. Overclocking works very well and reaches clocks that are on the upper end of the spectrum of other GTX 660 Ti cards.
