will i get 60 fps with gtx 660?

hi, will i get ~60 fps with a gtx 660 paired with an i5 3350p at all games in maxed out settings?

bf3 came out in october 2011. this is 2013 and the games that have came out in these last two years are a little more intense.
the OP said all games not games made in 2011. you have metro, grid2, tomb raider, online hawken, farcry3, bioshock. these would be interesting to see at max settings what you are getting since i do not get 60+ fps with a amd tahiti chip.

the minimum specs for bf3 are
Radeon 3870 or higher, Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT or higher.
recommended:
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 or ATI Radeon 6950. 1 gig.

this game is not a benchmark game hell it recommends a core 2 quad and a gtx 560 for max settings

i do not know but i would have to imagine the move to 720P would allow him to play some of these newer games but i do not know as i have not seen in any reviews or plugged in my old gtx 560 to see what would happpen.

i do indeed play at 720p. my main concern is to be able to play all games, i mean all, inculuding the upcoming games, at 60fps in max settings. i am not so rich, i want my GPU to last for the next 2-3 yrs before i replace it that's why im asking for a little overkill GPU. i know that future proofing is a myth but i just want to have a good lasting GPU that will serve me will for 2 years

I get ultra on Metro with 60FPS does that help? I dont own those other games

It depends on the resolution and what you consider "maxed out." Technically, a true max out of a game in terms of settings must include maxed antialiasing. Even at low antialiasing, you will not achieve 60FPS for the more demanding games on the market at 1920x1080. A few of these games include Metro 2033 & Last Light, Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Far Cry 3, Hitman Absolution, Max Payne 3, Assassin's Creed 3, etc. Even with two GTX 660s, you would still not max a game like Metro Last Light with SSAAx4. In fact, you would need more than four, which is not even possible. My dual GTX Titans barely break 60FPS at SSAAx4 on Metro Last Light with Advanced PhysX and everything else turned up at 1920x1080. Don't pay too much attention to benchmarks, as they often have settings such as Advanced PhysX or Tessellation turned off or very low and they do not take note of this (Linus Tech Tips is infamous for this, never take their benchmarks seriously).

I would recommend a GTX 760 if you're looking for a cheap, but relatively powerful GPU. It's only $250 and you'll get almost as much horsepower as 2 GTX Titans if you grab four of them and throw them in quad SLI. The obvious differences would be power consumption, less vram, less memory bandwidth, etc.

Depends on the resolution.

i play at 1366x768

at that resolution, most games yes, but still not all games. In nearly any game on any setup there will be times where fps will dip below 60fps, weather its the cpu, gpu or game engine causing it.

You already got the answer, lot's of people already said it already including me that on a 720p monitor, you can max out most games at 60FPS.

When I say max out I mean everything maxed out. And I get 60+FPS on 1920×1200 on the GTX 660

sorry for any miscommunication upgradder011 i knoww you can get those numbers with your card as it is above reccomended specs. I do not even know if your card was out then it may have still been the gtx560 back then.

I was just hoping you could run some current games like metro or sleeping dogs. even tomb raider, bioshock, or farcry would be nice @ 720P max setting just to see if this card will really work for him.

I have Metro Last Light with around 60FPS maxed out with a i5 3570K and the GTX 660. The GTX 660 came out before Metro Last Light. If you want me to test bioshock (I will not buy it though) I can. I will try to find a demo of it otherwise I will get the full game.
