KFA2 GeForce GTX 660 EX OC Pro Reviews

NVIDIA's newest gaming GPU is the GeForce GTX 660. Priced at £179 for basic cards and rising to some £200 for factory-overclocked models, it has been designed to offer a solid gaming experience at a full-HD, 1,920x1,080-resolution common on most monitors purchased today. Based on a full implementation of a cut-down Kepler core, known as GK106, and presented in what we believe to be a better-balanced architecture than GTX 660 Ti, performance is competitive against the Radeon HD 7850 and Radeon HD 7870 cards it will invariably be up against. The best way to think about the GTX 660 is to consider that its performance is, generally speaking, about the same as the last-generation's best NVIDIA card, GTX 580, released in November 2010, but this new mid-range card consumes considerably less power, has a broader feature-set, and, at launch, is less than half the price. We'll leave it up to you to decide if that represents value-for-money in your book.
