Hardware Canucks published a 5-Way roundup of GTX 660 Ti graphics cards
At the top of our GTX 660 Ti pile is ASUS’ GTX 660 Ti DirectCu II TOP. Not only is this the highest clocked (and one would assume the highest performing) GTX 660 Ti available but it is also the most expensive. At $325 the TOP certainly isn’t cheap but as we’ll see in upcoming sections, its list of features is long and it boasts one of the best heatsinks around.
EVGA has a huge selection of GTX 660 Ti’s –from a card equipped with 3GB of memory to an FTW model with ultra high clock speeds- but their SC version is simply overclocked by a small amount and given an understated upgrade to its heatsink. With that being said, this card’s $309 price tag may be only $10 more than the reference design but EVGA may have a hard time competing against options that have substantially higher clocks but don’t cost all that much more.
The Galaxy GTX 660 Ti GC and MSI’s GTX 660 Ti Power Edition are within spitting distance of one another on the clock speed front and both incorporate upgraded PWM designs. We’ll likely see a real fight in the trenches between these two but there are some items which will likely make one stand out so make sure you read through this review thoroughly before deciding between them.
