Product Showcase EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti SuperClocked
The hottest card of the year probably is going to be the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, and EVGA is going to dominate the product lineup alright. The full EVGA lineup for GTX 660 Ti will look as follows, with guideline pricing for the Superclocked card included here:
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Superclocked 2GB 273.00 (exc VAT).
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti FTW 2GB
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti+ 3GB
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Superclocked+ 3GB
- EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti FTW+ 3GB
You read that right, there will be 3GB models. Much like all models we have tested to date the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Superclocked is a factory overclocked model. It runs at a core clock frequency of 980 MHz, has a boost frequency of 1058 MHz and the effective memory data rate (192-bit) is 6008 MHz. The GPU clock is a little lower then your average factory overclocked model, but so is it's pricing level.
For a limited time only EVGA as well is giving away a free copy of Borderlands 2 (worth $60) with the GTX 660 Ti SKUs (and from what we heard additional GTX 600 Series cards). A coupon and individual code is included with the graphics card, and the user can register the code, and the game will activate on the launch date of Borderlands 2 on 21 September (TBC) in Europe. EVGA will give you a three year warranty on this product.
Let's have a look at some photo's.
Alright, here we have the GeForce GTX 660 Ti Superclocked edition, the 2GB SKU (stock keeping unit) and its packaging. Overall a nice dark looking card. The card is using the reference model PCB and cooler. Let's look at the card from several different viewpoints.
The card is equipped with the GK104 GPU that harbors the Kepler GPU architecture. You get the basics like the graphics card, PEG converter cables, manual and a demo and driver CD, though bundles will vary with AIB/AIC partners.
EVGA clocks this SC model card at a 980 MHz baseclock, a 1058 MHz Boost/Turbo clock and the memory is running at a reference 6008 MHz. This factory tweak positions the card just below the performance level of a GeForce GTX 670. Mind you that the reference baseclock is 915 MHz, so that's a noteworthy enough boost.
The card will come with two GB of graphics memory, which is definitely enough if you are a hardcore gamer with a monitor resolution of 1920x1200. Should you opt multiple monitors and up-to 3-way SLI, a future 3GB version might be a slightly better alternative.
