    Or the drivers simply need a little tweaking to be more 660 friendly. Notice the BF3 minimum for the 580, it's even lower than the 660Ti, yet it has a 384Bit bus.

    The GF110 isn't as gaming oriented as GK104 is, and their memory controllers are vastly different, so their difference could come from whatever - however between GTX660Ti and 670 the only difference is memory bandwidth, and look at their difference.

    I'm waiting till my bro gets back from uni, hopefully it should be a little bit cheaper than now, then either this or a 670, otherwise a cheap 7950, I really want to go Nvidia again personally, but I'll take bang for buck with a custom cooler first.

    Re: GTX 660 Ti review out!

    Okay, so after testing out several games, I can say this card is indeed beastly. Alan Wake (being highly optimized) was a great showcase. I was able to put everything on max, save for the FXAA which was just 2x and it was a huge improvement over my SLI'd 8800GT's. Fan noise never increased and the dynamic clocks keep the heat and power down, and according to GPU-Z the clocks go to over 1Ghz on GPU when gaming. Desktop it's at 324Mhz. So if you're on the fence, I'd say ge tit now and enjoy it. Most every e=tailer is offering Borderlands 2 free and at Bestbuy this week they had Guild Wars 2 free.

    Quiet, powerful, efficient, and definitely worth the $$ to upgrade from a 400 series or older.

    Now I am actually thinking about getting a couple of these for SLI, and I would need to buy water blocks as well. Not sure yet

    For those near a Fry's in the US, they have the MSI GTX 660TI w/ the Twin Frozr III cooler on them for $299.... I ended up with the R7950 TFIII myself. Testing it out may bring it back after a few days and swap over if I hear more about these cards in the short time. Came a from a 5830.

    BOO!
    I wonder if Microcenter has them in stock and will price match?

    I believe they do but I don't think they price match to internet prices. Fry's will price match to the web.
