How Good is the GeForce GTX660?

[Broba Fett]

Hi guys, looking at saving some money on my new build and dropping down my proposed GeForce GTX760 card to a GeForce GTX660 or GTX660 Ti. This will save me about $100. Is the performance difference noticable between the two and is it worth saving $100 for?

How powerful would 2 GTX660's in SLI or Crossfire be as well? Would they be as powerful as a GTX700 series card? That could be an alternative to more power if I go the 660's way.

Thanks

What cpu will u be getting?the 660ti is better than the normal 660.if u are getting an i5 the 660ti should be good.but if u plan to sli get a higher processor like an i7 series.the gtx 700 series is usually better at power consumption and you should see performance increase depending on what you choose(770,780).also take note only the 660ti support sli,not the 660.performance wise it should be able to keep up with newer cards on sli.

I'm looking at an i5 4670 Haswell. So a better bet for SLI would be the i7 or go 700-Series?

The 760 is worth the money over the 660ti, infact i would pick single 760 over sli 660.
660sli would have a better performance, no question, but picking the single best card is almost always a better option:
-Less power consumption,
-Less noise,
-newer chip/technology
-Have less power today, but more tomorow (2x 760 outperforms GXTtitan, in most cases.

It is definilty worth to get the 760, and since SLI is alrady on ur mind, dual 760 is amazing.

the 4670 would do good with 660ti sli.i would even go for gtx 760 since its cheaper and perform better.SLI the 760,boom.u got yourself a beast.

Sounds good, thanks mate!

I think you'll find that the 660 does support SLi, just like the Ti.

Also, you dont need an i7 for sli to be worthwhile, the hyper threading still doesnt make much difference in games compared to a i5.

Yes on the site it does say it support sli.in reality it doesnt..question have been ask regarding sli on 660.i think they forget the ti at the end

Have you got some evidence to back that up because that sounds like lawsuit material and I can't see Nvidia being that stupid.

Im pretty sure you are thinking of the 650/650 ti (no sli) and the 650 ti boost (can sli).


GTX 660 can SLI, proof here:
