I borrowed a friends 660 ti and benched, slightly higher in certain games slightly lower in others. Yes they are really noisy and really hot. They are fermies that have been run a LOT so the fans are pretty much shot :P

You put the 2nd graphics card in the PCI-E slot put the SLI bridge on then enable it in the nvidia control panel.

You forgot a step.

Plugging the PCI Power connectors into the GPU]
