660ti msi differences?

[IlMarkuz]

Hey! I'd like to buy an Nvidia 660ti by MSI

I found on Amazon this 2 models, can anyone tell me the differences?

One comes with "Triple Overvoltage and Enhanced PWM Design" and is cheaper.

What are the Pros and Cons of the 2 video cards? And which should i buy?

[João Severino]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they are the exact same card

 

I can't spot any differences

 

Edit: Just check the MSI website and there are two version and one is an OC version and the other is a normal version

[piplupgao]

I can't see a signifigant difference

[defunkt]

They are the same graphics card just priced and described differently.

You find it a lot on amazon.

Seem to be the same...

[Cacao]

Buy a 760, it's cheaper and performs better ;)

[CoolBeans]

Well one of them is 20$ more

the MSI N660TI PE 2GD5 which is a standard 660ti clock of 915/980 (BOOST)MHz

the MSI N660TI PE 2GD5/OC which is a standard 660ti clock of 1019/1097 (BOOST)MHz

 

that's $24.52 for MSI to guarantee an overclock of 1019MHz is the difference.

 

if water-cooling find another card, no blocks for these cards.

fine cooler for air-cooling, fine support for issues..

the title would make me think the cheaper one has a better power delivery design but as far as the design goes they both are twin frozer OC versions so i would say they are the same

If watercooling your better off with stock cards :P most blocks availeble xD

[Lil Chillbil]

I'd get the one that is cheapest

[IlMarkuz]

I was thinking about getting the 760 but it requires more power and as shown here http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/40765-psu-compatibility/

 i don't have much power from my PSU

[TechSage]

HEY! Everyone, the first card is the one that overvolts, so get it, there shouldn't be many left since Nvidia said no to overvolting 

[airdeano]

the 660ti need minimum 450watt as the 760 needs minimum 500watt. so your 550w seems

appropriate.

Yes but it has 80% efficiency so technically it's a 440W.. Does NVIDIA already consider PSU efficiency when they write the power requirement?

That's not how efficiency works...A 550W PSU will deliver 550W! Efficiency is calculated for how much power your PSU will draw out of your electrical socket, meaning it will be drawing more then 550W to provide your 550W at an 80% efficiency when running on full load, so basically around 660W.

Oh, thanks! I didn't know that!
