What sets this signature series apart from a regular gtx-660?

The biggest difference is the extra cooling fan, which allows the card to work harder while still staying at a safe temperature. I personally think this is worth the extra $15

There is none. Graphics rendering is provided by an appropriate CPU or an add-in dedicated GPU installed in the PCI express slot.

They are not the same card. This is the fully factory over clocked running at a clock of 1080Mhz and men at 5600Mhz. The other card has slower clocks. The clocks are higher because the chokes are better, and the chips were binned higher on this card. Check the serials if you want to confirm this. The OC potential is thus higher on this card.

only belong to the game you want to play,if you want to play crysis3 or other games like this and with three displays or more, i think that you need more powerful card like gtx780ti or titan, if you only play some small game like plants and zombies，i think you only need gt650

The GTX 660 has only one 6-pin connector on it. It gets the rest of its power from the rail.

Yes. The brand of the card doesn't matter. I've had this SLI bridge on two MSI GTX 660's for over a year and it still works like a dream. For me, matching graphics cards with motherboards seems to be more important (MSI mobo + MSI GPU). I haven't had any problems with my MSI 660s and MSI G45 that I've gotten before by mixing and matching. Of course, it's not a huge difference - but I notice it's more stable.

660 ftw. The only thing the 750 ti has over the 660 is the core speed, bit you can still OC the 660.

Nvidia geforce gt 640 has twice the ram and a higher cuda count for just a little more. I bought the diamond card and was disappointed with it. Useless for modern gaming but decent for Blu ray.

You mean Dell Inspiron 580 ? I guess your original graphics is still running the computer? Can you see new video setup screen on your monitor? If so are you sure that the card is seated in the slot and that you performed all the steps to disable the on board graphic card. I have this card on a 660s slim line case.

I am looking to upgrade my old card to use with this board. I won't go past $200 for a single card so the best option might be a GTX660 (Nvidia). I'm sure you can get a better card that won't be bottlenecked, but some people i know who bought this board also bought the GTX560 series cards. Hope I helped.

No this is not the reference design as it has a custom cooling system, reference designs only point to the cards directly from AMD

The power target of the GTX 660 is only 115W compared to its TDP of 140W (and reviews seem to show it running closer to that 115W). You should be fine adding it to your system, assuming you don't have 10 HDDs in there as well.

Not really, only thing I know of is the signature being an open case cooling system doesn't push the hot air out the rear of the machine as well as the super clocked model. So your internal case temp may play a bigger role in your gpu's temp, both of mine run very cool even when pushed hard on a high res display. You cant go wrong either way though. SLI either model of card and your good to go.

Hi, The 660s are not new. They are remans. The 390 is the newest one. I very much like the one I have. I have no complaints and highly recommend it. Lane
