No coupons, no rebates!

Brought to you by newegg :whiste:

I know it's not the most reputable brand name out there, but considering what a deal it is, I'd take my chances!

Nice find OP. That's the cheapest GTX 660 i've seen without any rebate hassles involved.

Looks like your standard reference design. Great price.

This is about like an R9 270?

Yep, exactly.

No 270 in that chart, but the 270X is about 10% faster than the GTX 660, so the 270 non-X should be roughly equal to the GTX 660.

I went for this over a similarly priced R7 260 and a Radeon HD 7850 that was $140 after rebate.

Looks like it outperforms both of them. Did I make a smart call?

You did.

It absolutely demolishes a 260 in terms of performance, roughly double. It is also a good 20-30% faster than a 7850. Therefore, you definitely made a smart call, especially since they are already out of stock!

Sweet, yeah I bought it after looking at that chart you posted. Thanks for sharing! Finally replacing a 8800GT, I think I'm gonna love it.

Thanks for the reply too, daveybrat.

This same card goes for $208 shipped on Amazon. Great price from Newegg.

Now listed at $120 no rebate, but still OOS.

You guys get the card yet? Curious how it performs since its ecs

 

[Holler]

not much of an upgrade from a gtx 480 is it?

Hard to find a relevant benchmark comparison of the two cards.

I suppose it would be more of a sidegrade than an upgrade.

Might be more of a downgrade as teh 660TI just bests the 480 by a little bit.

Damn! This is the card I have been waiting for and I missed it. Single six-pin, low power usage, good vid on multiple monitors.
Been checking newegg fo restocking daily but no luck.
Amazon, the only place an ECS card search showed up, goes over $200.00!
Guess I will check out the President's Day sales.

The GTX 480 is hot and power hungry. A GTX 660TI would be a slight upgrade in my opinion.
