![]() Starting as always with idle power we immediately see an interesting outcome: GTX 660 has the lowest idle power usage. Ultimately this means that the GTX 660 is spending most of its time near or above 1050MHz, which will have repercussions when it comes to overclocking. For the most part our average clockspeeds are slightly ahead of NVIDIA’s boost clock, while in CPU-heavy workloads (Starcraft II, Skyrim), we can almost sustain the maximum boost clock. With an official boost clock of 1033MHz and a maximum boost of 1084MHz on our GTX 660, we see clockspeeds regularly vary between the two points. GeForce GTX 600 Series Average Clockspeeds Because of GPU boost the boost clock alone doesn’t give us the whole picture, we’ve recorded the clockspeed of our GTX 660 during each of our benchmarks when running it at 1920x1200 and computed the average clockspeed over the duration of the benchmark Up next, before we jump into our graphs let’s take a look at the average core clockspeed during our benchmarks. As we’ll see later, this is an important distinction for GK106. However idle voltages are much lower, with the GK106 based GTX 660 idling at 0.875v versus 0.975v for the various GK104 desktop cards. NVIDIA’s standard voltage remains at 1.175v, the same as we’ve seen with GK104. Stopping to take a quick look at voltages, even with a new GPU nothing has changed. As a reminder, NVIDIA’s power target here is a mere 115W, while their TDP is 140W. Scaling down a GPU by disabling functional units often has diminishing returns, so GK106 will effectively “reset” NVIDIA’s position as far as power consumption goes. Unlike GTX 660 Ti, which was a harvested GK104 GPU, GTX 660 is based on the brand-new GK106 GPU, which will have interesting repercussions for power consumption. ![]() MSI N680GTX Lightning review: best GTX 680 overclocking card Hardware.As always, we’re wrapping up our look at a video card’s stock performance with a look at power, temperature, and noise.Point of View GTX 680 TGT Ultra Charged 4 GB techPowerUp.Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Ti Legion Hardware.Palit Gigabyte and MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti reviews with 2/3-way SLI Guru of 3D.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Overclocked Launch Review HardwareHeaven.ZOTAC GeForce GTX 660 Ti AMP!

We have a retail GTX 660 Ti video card on tap from GALAXY to evaluate along with reference clocked GTX 660 Ti. "NVIDIA is launching its third Kepler GPU for 2012, the GeForce GTX 660 Ti. You can also read Ryan's take on the MSI version of the 660 Ti, with a round up scheduled to appear later this week. The 3GB model is more interesting, often out performing an HD 7950 and doing so at a similar, if not lower, price. Performance wise, the 2GB model is a perfect choice for anyone using a GTX 460 or equivalent and is looking for an upgrade. They also received an overclocked 3G model with custom cooling and a 10" board which is bigger than some other models. ard|OCP received a reference model from Galaxy, which is a perfect example of how the base 2GB version of the card will perform. ![]() Not only have all of the major vendors released a card, they've also released overclocked and custom cooled cards which could make choosing the model you want difficult. Launch day for the GTX 660 Ti is here and there are a long list of reviews to go through. ![]()
