Graphics card round up March 2013

The Gainward box artwork is certainly eye catching, but yet again, using a capital G on the front rather than featuring the product itself, seems pointless.

Gainward include a driver disc and quick install guide.

The Gainward GTX660 is a dinky little card featuring a black plastic cooler with ‘G' logo on the fan. The PCB is black, like every other card in the article at this point. The cooler is dual slot.

The Gainward GTX660 is SLI capable in a 2 way configuration.

The card requires power from a single 6 pin connector.

There are two DVI connectors, a full sized HDMI connector and a full sized DisplayPort connector.

The cooler is formed around a copper base with two small heatpipes transferring the heat into two racks of aluminium fins.

The Gainward GTX660 GK106 core is built around the 28nm manufacturing process. The core clock is set at 980mhz, and the memory is set at 1,500mhz (6Gbps effective), connected via a 192 bit memory interface. There are 960 CUDA cores onboard, along with 24 ROPS and 80 TMU's.
