Graphics card round up March 2013

Exactly the same box as the GTX660, except from the product identification bottom right.

The bundle includes a quick start guide, software disc and power converter cable. Quite a poor bundle.

The Gainward cooler is rather menacing, all black with only gold lettering for the company name. The PCB is all black. This is a dual slot cooler design.

The Gainward GTX660 ti requires power from two 6 pin PCI connectors.

The card is SLI capable in 2,3 and 4 way configurations.

The cooler is unusual, as the PCB is actually quite small. The fan on the right overhangs the PCB completely, encased in plastic. Cool air is forced horizontally along the PCB and across the heatsink. The heatsink is also very small, with a copper block positioned in the middle making direct contact with the GPU core.

The Gainward GTX660 ti GK104 core is built on the 28 nm manufacturing process. The core is clocked at 915mhz, and the memory 1,500mhz (6Gbps effective). There are 1344 CUDA cores on this card and 24 ROPS/112 TMU's. The 2GB of GDDR5 memory is connected via a 192 bit memory interface.
