How is this card compared to the GTX 660?

I honestly do not know. I think it is a bit cheaper, but packs enough for more games. My frame rate playing WOW went from 35 pfs [ using a Nvidia 295] to over 100 fps using the 650. That is at the highest settings

Ti versions are always better and in 660 case 650ti is way better.... go for it...enjoy

Best was to compare the two cards. 660 less then 600 Cudas. 65oTiBoost 790 Cuda's and a higher processing rate then the 660. basically take the 660 and multiply all its defaults by 1.85 and you get the 650Ti Boost. boost tech is whats now in all the current gen as the 2nd Gen tech there using to make them run faster and stronger then before.

Yeah, I have the same mo-bo and I installed two GTX 780's on it, so you'll be fine installing two GTX 660ti's

I run BF4 and have no reason for additional cooling. I would recommend a case with a 120mm intake on the side, mine has two that sit coincidentally right below the gpu, so my 660 stays around 50 degrees C, rarely gets over 65 C. Its a good card. My second is on the way so I can SLI.

It seems to run around ~5-10 or so frames faster. Source: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-660-ti-benchmark-review,3279-4.html

The gtx780 will be faster but has less memory. The memory will only be a factor if you are running 3 or more monitors. Both cards will handle any game on the market like a champ.

It is most comparable to the GTX 760. It is much better than the GTX 750ti, and a tad worse in benchmarks than the GTX 760.

The same PC Model is on Newegg.com and it lists it as a GTX 660 Ti. Here's the link. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883258024

Not very well, plus it runs very hot under load. I would go with a gtx 660 for that budget range

From what I know (probably not the end all be all answer) this card is comparable to the gtx 760, though the 760 beats this card it is similar, and a LOT cheaper...its up to you...

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

The GTX 650 uses slightly more power, but for that add in power you get dramatically superior performance. For one, memory bandwidth is quadrupled.

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.

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have??Woody

Hey friend. I have been running this card on ultra with a variety of games ranging from Arma 3, BF3, to the very inensive Star Citizen and I really enjoy the card. I have little to no problems with frame rate or stuttering and would recommend it. However, the 970 gtx is two generations newer and takes a slight edge in performance. The 970 is a better card, but I believe the 780 should suit you just fine for your needs now. Looking forward, the 970 will be better long term and if you can afford it now, I'd recommend it for the sake of a longer useful life.

well the gtx 660 is a bit older than the gtx 770 I check with hp for support of bios

This card is a beast. Can play almost every game on max settings. Of course this is gonna be better than the 660

the nvidia gtx 650 with 1gb of ddr5 is a very nice card and it's only like 120 bucks. I would recommend that one over any other for your price range!
