Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

I'll take non ti

FlamsLv says:

Just bought non Ti version

Ted says:

Is it worth buying non ti? like i don't care how much they cost i want the best one, which one is it of those 2?

Rob says:

I'm getting the non Ti. That 31% isn't worth another $100.

ok says:

fuck u devesh

msg2short

Bangladeshi Ranjan says:

Which can I choose?

Simon says:

Easy choice, definitely 660 Ti, runs much better than what it says in the review, everyone, go for the TI version

ScaryFucker says:

Take non Ti cards, don't pay more, dudes

Graphic Crad Expert says:

Simply,even compared to GTX 670 take the GTX 660 instead!
GTX 660 costs about 200$+ and is just about 30-40% slover than a GTX 670 which cost 400$...
You will not see difference if you don't have problems with FPS...

Sheraz Faiz says:

Man just buy Ati radeon hd 7870 this is very cheap and better than both gtx 660 and ti

shoaibgazi says:

sheraz
if we want to use ATi radeon 7870 we need amd motherboard cause this card has crossfire technology which is you can only use on amd motherboards

Sheraz Faiz says:

Shoaib watch this video u will see how to install this card
in this video he have intel motherboard so u are wrong u can install this card on intel motherboard

setlintun says:

u can install it on intel motherboard . crossfire means AMD multi GPU setup

John lerages says:

I am dealor of 3D cards and wana share that GTX 660 ti is bettet than GTX 660 at very small value.So if any one wana know which is best i know a lot better than u guys
so prefer 660 Ti if there is no problum of money

John lerages says:

Mr sheraz says HD 7870 is much cheaper than 660 660 ti,bro this card is about 370 dollers and the GTX 660 ti is about 275 dollers so what in a God name is the HD 7870 cheaper than Gtx 660 and 660 ti

John lerages says:

Dont talk if u dont know about prises

Soren says:

@John Lerages,

Don't talk about what you do or do not know when you can't even speak english. Get a life and don't go dissing other people MR "Better than you guys" You seem like a tosspot nub.

setlintun says:

lol , ahaha , chill

DaVe says:

Fight Fight Fight

Anonymous says:

i am from russia komunizm says me to buy ti

d says:

The NON Ti is better value for money but if you are looking for performance and are willing to pay an extra $100 or so go for the GTX 660Ti.

Alex says:

What would be the difference between an oveclocked 660 and the Ti version?

J-dawg says:

Speeds could be the same but you still have the advantage of having more capbilities from the start. Go with a cheaper Ti and you'll only be spending about 60$ more over the regular 660, providing you buy them new. Used you could probly get a smokin' deal on a Ti though.

Bapi Das says:

i want to buy a good gpu which one is good gtx 660 or hd 7870 plzz help....>>>

Karamba says:

the difference between the GTX 660OC and GTX 660Ti in games this 10 frames.

aqeelumar says:

which is gud for gaming

Portugal says:

if a Gtx 660 is affordable for 200€ and a Gtx 660 TI for over 300€, than i would expect it to be 50% as better, but in the case it's NOT, so i would go for the 660 NON Ti

Ingmar says:

Got the 660ti for au$239 cause there not selling. when the 660 is au$215. Thought that was a pretty good buy.

Harold says:

At this point, the 660ti gives more bang for the buck as my purchase was only around $20 extra for the ti.

Chad says:

HURDY derh HURRRRRngh HUFFGG

Ross says:

I got a remanufactured GTX 660 OC 2 GB for $159 with free shipping.
The 660 TI was just out of my price range, at $230, plus $15 shipping.
Both cards have similar performance, and I'd rather spend the extra $85 towards an SSD.
It just depends on what kind of deals you can get, and of course I'm limited by my 460 watt power supply until I can upgrade it.
