GeForce GTX 660 vs GeForce GTX 660 Ti

Intro

The GeForce GTX 660 comes with core speeds of 980 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 960 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 24 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, which has GPU clock speed of 915 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 1344 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 24 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 660 140 Watts
GeForce GTX 660 Ti 150 Watts
Difference: 10 Watts (7%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX 660 should in theory be just a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 660 144192 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti 144000 MB/sec
Difference: 192 (0%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 660 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 31%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 660. (explain)

GeForce GTX 660 Ti 102480 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 660 78400 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 24080 (31%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 660 is the winner, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce GTX 660 23520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti 21960 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 1560 (7%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential 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

i am from russia komunizm says me to buy ti
