Is there a significant difference between this and MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card N660 TF 2GD5/OC (other than one having 2 fans)?

The card with the 2 fans can probably cool itself and the case better.If your gonna put it in small computer case the cooler the better.If your putting the card into a mid size or full size case, the 1 fan will suffice.

hello, no there is no Significant difference between those two. N660 TF will be only Slightly Cooler thats all.

[1:02:53 PM] Mike Himes: Those are the same[1:02:56 PM] Mike Himes: one is a tf or twin fan[1:03:03 PM] Mike Himes: Get that one it's not even more expensive[1:03:09 PM] Mike Himes: Normally they're like at least $20 more

I think GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC 1GB GDDR5 more Powerfull than EVGA GeForce GTX 650 ti 1024MB GDDR5 DVI mHDMI Graphics Card 01G-P4-2650-KRGIGABYTE GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC 1GB GDDR5 has Triangle Cool Fan . Because of that we can overclock than stock clock speed. Also it has Ultra Durable components

Best thing to advise here is to check the Nvidia web site and compare the specs first hand. Compare the requirements of the card to the specs on the motherboard. This is a great card. I have the 2 gig model.

Yes, the boost and base clock is superior. Cores are the same; so you would have, really, a little advantage. It has a cooling fan that help keep the temp a tad bit down. If you are getting this for video games, you will great results for last gen titles, but not so much for current games. Games like Skyrim or Battlfeild 3 or CODBO 2 will get great results, hence the reason I bought this. Battlefield 4 doesn't run as smooth as people would like. The GPU RAM (along with the other specs) makes it kinda tough running any settings on high or above. This disappointed me. My plans are to get another GTX 660 and SLI. This is not the best choice if you want to run current gen games on max settings. I would recommend buying two of these, or a GTX 770. If price is a problem, then the GTX 760 is basically a 660 for current gen, by that I mean it runs today's titles with acceptable performance. I hope this helps.

In the context of a standard PC desktop/tower build, you can get away with a 500-watt PSU if you stick to a single graphics card setup plus optical drive and hard drive, a couple of cooling fans, etc. Anything beyond that and you'll need more capacity. For example, if you're a gamer and want to run a dual-card SLI graphics card setup, that alone can chew up to 300 watts under heavy load, leaving little operating margin for other significant loads such as the main CPU, etc. On my own build, I went with a high-quality 850-watt PSU from Corsair. Although I'm only running one MSI GTX 760-based graphics card right now, I have enough power supply capacity to add another card at any time without worrying about straining, even though I'm moderately overclocking my Intel 4770K quad-core CPU (to 4.3 Ghz) and have installed a liquid cooling system and four power-efficient cooling fans. I estimate that my system draws a maximum of about 400 watts when running a game (including all my drives and peripherals). The PSU's internal cooling fan rarely kicks on, which lets me know I'm letting the PSU loaf most of the time. Keeping a PSU cool and in the middle of its rated supply capacity also helps with power efficiency. In conclusion, if you know you'll stick with a single graphics card, go with one rated at 650 watts for peace of mind. For two cards, I would go with 850 watts. I know that some people will think my recommendations are a bit of overkill, but as someone who's had to replace a couple of PSUs in the past because I tried to save a few bucks by shaving power margins, I'd rather pay a bit extra for peace of mind. Note that many hardcore gamers won't settle for anything less than a 1.2KW supply!

PCIe x1 - Yes, that was why I picked it. Almost all 1GB cards seem to be x16, but I needed something that would drive dual monitors and fit a x1 slot in a compact case. Plus previous Zotac graphic cards worked well for me.M$ WinXP, not sure, but I would expect it.I don't remember any PSU connection to the card. If there was one it was a generic plugin for the fan

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-780-ti/specificationsyes you can. i am using two overclocked 780s fine. one TI will be fine

I'm pretty sure it does. Not sure why you would want to. Performance is negligible compared to a single 660 or 670 and it would cost u more running 2.

I ended up getting the MSI R5770 Hawk. Way better than this XFX card with more OC'ing capability. I got some heatsinks for the ram/vram and I'm running it at 970/1375 OC.

Considering that on average, while running newer games on Ultra settings, I'm only using a total of around 330 watts, I would say it'll probably work. On the other hand, there's literally no reason to use two of these in SLI; even with just one I can run any new game on the highest possible settings in every area and still get 60+FPS. The second card won't do anything.

I have 2x GeForce GTX 660, running right now on this computer that are tied together with SLI. Working great.Video card link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125443

Yes it is better, the one from Nvidia that is similar and quite a bit superior in some points is the 750 gtx.

Are you trying to compare this EVGA with the MSI power edition??? If this is OK then choose MSI with eyes closed, it's better. If I'm wrong, I can't help you jejeje maybe this page can help you, but I think it will no answer your question. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

Hi, Ryan. I can't speak to your specific hardware configuration, but I can give you mine for a somewhat-apples-to-somewhat-apples comparison.I am running this same GTX 650 Ti 2GB in a machine with: i7 950 overclocked to 3.07GHz, 16GB RAM, 1x 64GB SSD, 2x 1TB 7200RPM HDD, 1x 750GB 7200RPM HDD. This machine has a 600W OCZ PSU, and I've had no issues with lack of power. YMMV, of course.This is a great little consumer-level card, probably the best I've owned so far. It has taken everything I've thrown at it (all games on "high" settings) with ease.

You aren't going to get twice the power from two cards. You'll get roughly 1.5 times the power, more graphics give diminished returns. It will double the power consumption and heat though.

The Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5 has PCI-E 2.0 x16 graphics interface so would be compatible with the ASUS GTX 660Ti, assuming you only intend to use one graphics card. The specs for the motherboard do not list SLI support (edit: the ASUS GTX 660Ti can support SLI if the motherboard is able to). If you are looking for a new graphics card, the ASUS GTX 660Ti is currently listed at USD338.95. You should get the ASUS GTX 760 instead which is cheaper and slightly faster.

My driver was a mid-range board at low cost and TWO ports for DVI. I can only compare differing NVIDIA products but "better" is in the eye of the beholder. They both use 2GB worth of GDDR5 memory at 128-bit. The tipping point would be which features on each card are triggered by your favorite game(s).
