friend is selling gtx 660 for $100

[aidenrelkoff]

for $100 is it a good deal? its not for me, since i have a 650ti boost it would be like a 8% upgrade lol.

 

its for a friend that is slowly upgrading from his pre built apu crossfire system.

 

also does a 660 run off of a 6 pin or 8 pin power?

Nevermind

I'd go for it..

Get it and run the 650Ti as a physx card.

I bought one last year, paid around $200. Even today, it's a decent medium-ish card. If it has any life left in it, I would go for it, looks like a good deal.

thanks, also its a 6pin power right?

[SSOB]

Wait, what are his specs, I thought he had a GTX650Ti but he has an apu system.

Yup, runs on 450W PSU. Mine is made by Gigabyte (rev. 1)

thanks, also its a 6pin power right?

yes, only a 6 pin power for the reference designed GTX 660

[Deserter15]

thanks, also its a 6pin power right?

Yes it is.

would a 430watt be fine? my whole system draws like 360watts and i have a 650ti, it cant draw that much more power..

re read the post, i have the 650ti boost...

yeah ,single 6 pin and for 100$ its a good deal since its better than a 750 ti.

yes and your system uses like 150W not 360w. a system with an overclocked i5/7 + r9 290x would use that much

Probably, only way to be sure is to try it

ill just make a parts list of his pc on pc part picker, add the 660 and see how much it would draw. i think its gonna be like 320 tbh.

You should be totally fine with your current psu. I ran my 660 on a decent 300w psu for a short time (with an 3570k @stock) and all I had to do was to throttle the gpu to 90%

I'm not sure because I don't have a 660 myself but my friend has been running a 650 for about as long as I can remember and he plays skyrim with ultra resolution mods (about 5 of them) and he plays them smoothly with no problems. If you're considering 4k tho, that wont work but. Other than 4K, 1080p gaming is enough with that card

Curious, how do you do that?

What, the limiting? I did it in afterburner.

I mean, how did it even launch the first time?

They are averaging $80 to 130 on ebay  so if your thinking of re-sell value it might be iffy,  If you want it for yourself , Offer him $80 or 90. Ya never know
