GTX660tiOC

[ScorpioST]

Finally bought this game and tried to run it on the old ATI 5770...no dice, 17fps with everything on medium, pretty horrible. CPU is i5 750 OC'd to 3.4Ghz, so today I broke down and bought a Gigabyte GTX660tiOC, HOLY S**T, what a difference!! I was expecting better, maybe double, make it playable, but now running completely maxed-out every setting I'm constantly in the 60FPS range. It pretty much never dips below mid 50's except for some weird reason in clouds.

Anyway, if anyone was contemplating this card, do not hesitate. Don't know if the OC (factory overclock) makes much of difference over regular, but I wasn't expecting this much of an improvement.

Bought the wrong card, sry! We already have this discussion everywhere here in three different threads. Before starting a new thread, you should explore a bit. Every nvidia user makes his own thread of fantastic performances.

Sorry, but this is another spam!

I did explore. I used this site to research what to buy, I found a lot of speculation and not a lot of feedback on that particular card. So I posted my results so that anybody who might think about going from my particular old card to this one might find the info useful. Obviously you do not so I call your response spam!

Hi, I find your comment very useful because as you said lot of people talk about their card but never give feedback.
I almost have the same config than you except the video card, so I might buy the same one, was is a 3gb or a 2GB?

I thought my older 5770 DX11 card was pretty good, I play Black Shark, FSX etc on high settings, but the 660ti is such a huge improvement!! I got the 2GB card as I read a lot of negative comments on the 3GB for other games etc.

I also do a lot of video encoding, so I wanted Nvidia for the CUDA cores also, there are 1300 CUDA cores on this card so I'm hoping it will help with rendering etc, although so far it's not working the way I hoped in that regard. I strongly considered the 7950 but I got the 660ti cheaper.

So I got an EVGA 660 3Gb vefore I could read your comment. To be honest I don't play other games than COD and I'm very pleased with the card.
I can finally really play, all details maxed out.
