Posted January 18, 2013 Hi guys, im finally building my own pc, only problem is choosing the graphics card. I have decided to go with the GeForce GTX 660, only problem is that there are a lot of different versions. I live in Denmark and im using this site to find a graphics card, URL ( http://www.edbpriser.dk/hardware/gra...eneric4&qt=Fql ). I hope to get 1 card and then a second card later to run sli.

Posted January 18, 2013 If you could stretch your budget, you should consider a GTX660 TI. Anyway i like Asus cards, they are cool and quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 18, 2013 You should get a 670 and not bother yourself with SLI. Sell it off to upgrade to a better card in the future if it is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 18, 2013 For the 600s, ASUS coolers are awesome. Gigabyte has the only coolers that come close on the Nvidia side this generation. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-660-ti-memory-bandwidth-anti-aliasing,3283-16.html Listen to those and you'll see what I mean. The difference isn't as pronounced as it is with the 670/680s, but there's still a clear winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 18, 2013 I highly recommend the MSI Twin Frozr III GTX 660/OC Card. I recently acquired it and it's been excellent. I haven't had any problems with running games at high frame rates in 1600 x 900. May the Force be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 21, 2013 ASUS Cards will be good, only if your case is well ventilated. The "open" design of the cooler doesn't exhaust heat out of your case, but around the inside of you case, thereby increasing the ambient temperature in your case. If you case is not well ventilated, I would recommend EVGA. Simply becasue of their great service.

Posted January 27, 2013 Just wanted to ask if anybody has had any experience of having two GTX 660 cards in sli and what was there experience. I use SLI 660s and was seriously impressed with the performance. Started with a single 660 and picked up another the next paycheck. 660 is a great "good enough" card, and when you SLI them you get some serious graphical horsepower for a relatively low cost. Heres a video on the topic that shows how sli 660s measures up. Also SLI just looks awesome in my case, and i'm all about looks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 27, 2013 Just buy the one with best warranty and lowest cost. More than likely that's EVGA. i5 3570K - MSI GD65 z77 - 660ti 2gb SLI - Kingston HyperX Blu 8gb (4x2gb) - Corsair H100i - Corsair 500r - Corsair HX 850w - Kingston HyperX 120gb SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 27, 2013 You should definitely go for the Asus DCUii , it's the coolest ,quietest and the most overclockable 660 right now . My build : Glamor Shot.

Posted January 27, 2013 I would go with Asus GeForce gtc660 2048mb DirectCUII OC. I got it and IMO it´s just a great card. Runs farcry 3 at highest settings with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
