GIGABYTE GV-N66TOC-2GD GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Card worked great for almost 9 months.

Cons: Card stopped displaying video on all ports and was not detected by motherboard after nine months of use. Fans would spin but card would not show up on device manager. No display during bios start-up after initial power on.

Other Thoughts: To late for a return so I'm getting a new ASUS card. My ASUS Nvidia 470 is letting me type this now and it was installed for three years. I had installed duel cards using the 470 as a PhysiX engine and the 660 for display. Got home from work and the display was dead. swapped output tot he 470 and the display came right on. 660 was nowhere to be found.

Pros: Quiet, good graphics. A large improvement over my GTX 295

Cons: A bit temperamental....I have crashes and freezes since installing this card. This may be partly a fault of my cpu, which is a bottom end i-7, but never had issues with the GTX295

Pros: Quiet, fast, handles most things with no problems, did I say quiet? Handles Skyrim on ultra with a nice ENB.

Cons: Weird overclocking, I had a PNY 560ti that overclocked easy but I can't really figure this one out for some odd reason. Random spikes that sometimes cause the occasional crash to desktop or lag.

Other Thoughts: Might pick up another one if they go on sale or if I get some extra cash.

Pros: It works until lag spikes or your game crashes.

Cons: lag spikes, random frame drops, random game crashes

Other Thoughts: Had this card for 6 months now. This is my first video card ever, so I did not know how to test it too well. I do modest gamin so I didn't notice anything too major for a while. Now after six months of ownership, I finally came to the conclusion that this card fails to perform. I've tested with several games for consistency and it's the same story every time; lag spikes, and game crashes. Restarting my games over and over is not fun! I don't know if I got a bad card or what, but I am not pleased. I would not recommend.

Pros: No issues with it, installed and worked from the beginning! Games look amazing, I'm maxing all the stats, although my CPU bottlenecks my system in PlanetSide2 when there's a lot of people/action going on.

Cons: None so far! It's 10 inches long which might be an issue for somebody's case, but not mine!

Pros: The performance of the card is good.. although sometimes wierd behavior with dual monitors.

Cons: The fan noise is horrible, the worst I've had from any graphics card.

Pros: went from an ATI Radeon HD 5770 to this beast...no problems what-so-ever. I am currently running Windows 8 and the OS picked up drivers before I could ask it too... I DL the most recent from Nvidia anyway. Runs most of the games I play at over 130FPS....wondering how much performance increase I would get with a second one running SLI....

Cons: it wasnt free

Pros: Works fine in between sleep/Blue screen mode...which seem to go hand in hand.

Cons: Constant card recovery errors, and daily blue screen events when coming out of sleep mode. After eliminating bios & possible driver issues, card swaps revealed this as a bad card. I was past the 30 RMA window, so I'll be dealing direct with Gigabyte. From the reviews, this seems to be happening too often- thought I'd dodge this bullet...who's next?

Pros: can run any game without much problem.

Cons: laggy card. sometimes it will tear my screen.

Other Thoughts: so and so. if you are getting this card might as well go for 670 or 7950/7970.

Pros: None.

Cons: I went through everything I could think of to get this card working good. I uninstalled previous GPU drivers from ATI, tried different Nvidia drivers (306, 310, and the beta 313 drivers). Cleaning out the previous drivers through a safemode boot and running driver sweeper to make sure everything was removed. Nothing seems to get this card running at good FPS. My 5850 runs slightly worse than this 660 ti, which makes no sense.

Multiple games that I play also get a slight "spike". The game can be running smooth and then all of a sudden, it will have a spike for half a second which completely ruins the enjoyment of the game. The spikes happen at random times.

I'm quite sure I don't have a CPU bottleneck as I'm using an i5 2500k 3.3ghz stock clock. I OC'd it to 3.8ghz to test if it was a CPU bottleneck that was causing the weird "spikes" and they still happened.

I decided to try and reformat my PC, maybe there was something else causing the spikes and low FPS. I reformatted, installed all my motherboard drivers, and set out to test the games again. Everything remained the same. The spikes and the low FPS were still there.

In the end, I get about 25 to 50 fps in most games. GW2 was unplayable. Turning my camera would cause the FPS to drop to 20.

Other Thoughts: Before I purchased this card, I was looking into the 7950. I think it might be much better than this card and hopefully I can get a refund despite 30 days having passed.
