Is this card a big upgrade from 660 or should I wait for the 770 4GB to lower in price?

Why wait when you can buy now? Cmon man get with the program. The card runs anything I want faster than a black man running from police. Never dropped below 60 FPS on any games so far, Path of Exile, League of Legends, Minecraft, Bloons TD5, World of Warcraft, Tomb Raider, Hello Kitty Wonderland the third, Farcry 3, GTA Five, all runs fine. I would definitely pick up this card.Much love,Touchette

Get the SC edition and you'll find yourself in between the 670 and 680. Or you could wait for that fabled 760 ti that a lot of pc networks are waiting for.

It's a huge upgrade. I'm getting the same frame rate with one 760 GTX SC as I was with two 560 GTX SC in SLI in world of tanks

I haven't owned a 660, so I can't give an actual answer. That said, the 760 is just about as good as you can get in terms of bang for the buck, and it'll be enough to play almost anything you can throw at it at full resolution and maxed out settings. If you have any concern with budget, the 760 is the card to get.

Hey Ace, this is not a "huge" upgrade. I bumped up from a 460 to this and I really enjoy it, but I am still going to do the EVGA step up program and step up to either a 770 or 780.

No it's not a big card smaller than corsair 100i CPU cooler and price wise you get more with 3 free games on amazon free download through steam network

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.

It most certainly does! It can even handle two of them at once. The 770 is most efficient when connected to a pci-e 3.0 slot, and this motherboard has two of them spaced far enough apart to accommodate the 770's large frame and is SLI ready. Just make sure your case and power supply are big enough.

This would be a big step up from your 6670. The card I received included a dvi to vga adapter.

The 670 is slightly more powerful then the 760. But the 670 is $150 more. I'd be nore inclined to compare 670 vs 770 as they r in the same price range and the 770 is more powerful then the 670

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.

There is about a 14% difference between a single 770 and a single 780 at 1920x1080 and in reality a 770 is more performance per $$$ so I would go with a single 770 for now and then add a second one in the future when you find its performance to be lacking. Or if you have cash to spare just upgrade to a 780 ti down the line...

The big question is are you running multiple monitors over 1080p? If you are running a single or dual monitors @ 1080p I would go with the 770.. If you are running 2-3 monitors at a res higher than 1080p than the extra 2GB of VRAM may be useful.

It all depends on the the games you play and what kind of FPS you are looking to achieve. Its always worth it to upgrade as long as its needed. If you are already enjoying the games and applications you run on the highest settings and have no issues, then I would not upgrade just yet. However if you are having lag issues that are caused by slow load times on part of your video card, then yes, it is 100% worth it to upgrade to a 2GB card. The same can be said for just about every part in the computer. If its needed, yes upgrade it, if its not needed, then no, save your money until you need that upgrade.

This is one of the top 3 or 4 notebook video cards out there at the moment. If money is no object the 780 is the fastest in the nvidia family but the 770 is still well worth getting. You can go to notebookcheck.net and check out the specs and framerates of all the latest cards. You wont be dissapointed w the 770 or 780 good luck w your decision.

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

My system came with a GeForce GTX 660 which has 2048 MB of internal ram. Good Luck, Paul

Apparently, not much. The 660 has one more speed setting, is a little louder, a little lighter, but more expensive. Source:http://seekyt.com/vornado-660-vs-733-comparing-the-660-and-733/

It will run it. However, for the price, there are better cards out now. The 7750 and 7770 are great cards that don't cost a lot more, but they're powerful.

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

It might be overkill however, I currently play on a 1920x1080 screen and I enjoy never having to worry about frame studder or overloading. That being said a 770 will provide similar results at a lower price point. The main advantage this card has is the additional VRAM which can make the difference in longevity, but if your anything like me I prefer to have the best parts I can swing at a reasonable price and this card happened to fit that bill. If you think you can get it then go for it! But if you are sacrificing an SSD for this card id say get a 770 and buy an SSD or but two and raid 0 for really ludicrous speed because that's where you will appreciate the money more. I own the product and didn't skimp out anywhere else as far as specs go so I had it budgeted in before hand. In the end it's your decision. You can't really go wrong with this card, but if you think you would rather spend the extra coin somewhere else I would get a 770. Good luck and happy computer building!

it really depends on your graphics card, but anything above 600 would do, unless you have a beast of a card then you should go for 750 and up
