A little over four months ago, NVIDIA turned the gaming world upside down with the launch of the GeForce GTX 680. This card introduced us to the new Kepler architecture. While enthusiasts were still impressed by the performance of the GTX 680 and scrambled to get their hands on one, NVIDIA dropped another bomb, this time with the launch of the GTX 670, part of the GK104 lineup. Not slowing down one bit, NVIDIA has gone for a hat trick with the new GTX 660 Ti!

The GTX 660 Ti we will be reviewing is the newest card to feature the Kepler architecture, and like its predecessors it features a 28nm core, GPU Boost, TXAA and Adaptive VSync. Being third in line behind the fastest single GPU graphics card solution, NVIDIA's GTX 680, it was expected that NVIDIA would trim some areas for the GTX 660 Ti; for instance, the total number of CUDA cores have been reduced to 1344 compared to the GTX 680's 1536, and Texture Units have also been lowered from 128 to 112. This doesn't mean the GTX 660 Ti is unable to deliver on performance, but it certainly allowed NVIDIA to reduce the cost of the card, giving it a more attractive price tag of $309.99.
