Question 1

Hello,

I would like to order this card to SLI it with my other GTX 660 ti. Does this card support SLI?

Thanks

Accepted Answer

I believe it will as it has two SLI connecters on top.

Unfortunately I can't say for sure as I am not using it in SLI as my current config is to use it as my dedicated Video Card with a nVidia 9800 as my dedicated PhysX Card.

Question 2

I'm building my first custom computer, i've done a ton of research and checked reveiws of all the parts I am soon to buy. I intend on running an SLI config, and have made sure my MB,PSU, and processor can handle it. I am not going cheap on my parts, 1200 on MB and CPU alone. Which leaves my little cash to spare on a set of good cards. EVGA has great customer service, and Asus has great reviews on their GTX 660 cards. Have you had any problems with the ECS 660TI card, when you did, was their customer service helpful? Am I better off doing an SLI with this 660TI card, or would i be better to choose the EVGA or ASUS 660?

Accepted Answer

I bought this card to run it in SLI with my EVGA 660 TI.  I've only had it about a week, but so far it's working pretty good.

Did some benchmarkering with 3DMark and my overall score increased by about 60% on Fire Strike.  The GPU score was up almost 100%.

Unfortunately I'm unable to overclock either card in  SLI - I was able to when the EVGA was the only card, but I get some instability in games now when it's overclocked.  When I bring it back down to it's normal clocks they work just fine.  Not sure if it's because of the SLI config or the ECS card and don't really plan on testing it.

If I had I choice I probably would have gone with the EVGA card or even an ASUS or Gigabyte card, but nobody other than ECS seems to be making the 660 TI.

It is a good value and the card looks exactly the same as my EVGA card and since they are just rebranded NVIDIA reference cards, they should be exactly the same.

If you decide not to go with the 660 TI, 2 660's will probably work just fine for you.  However if it we me, I would probably go with a single EVGA 770 or 780.  The 770 will be a little cheaper than 2 660's and the 780 will be a little more.   The 660's have been around for a while now and eventually when you replenish your funds, you could buy a 2nd 770 or 780 and would be quite a bit ahead of the game.  Good Luck.

Question 3

Does the use of the reference cooler result in heat or noise issues?

Accepted Answer

It's a little noisy when fans get over 60%, but I don't really notice it when I'm gaming.  The temperature max's out just under 60c under heavy load - I paired this with an EVGA 660 TI and it actually runs a little cooler then the EVGA card - 1 or 2c.  So far I'm happy with it's performance.

Question 4

This 660 Ti really  have 1344 CUDA Cores?

Accepted Answer

Yes this card does come with 1344 CUDA Cores its a Korean company build card from what i can tell after purchasing this card it seems to build all stock reference card pcb and fan and heat sink it would be a better choice in my opinion to buy something like an EVGA or MSI or GIGABYTE or ASUS if possible. This card is great but cooling solution is eh. 4/5 for a 660 Ti.

Question 5

How large is the box? How heavy?

Accepted Answer

should be about 3 pounds and they should ship it in a bos about 15x12x9
