GeForce GTX 660 2-way SLI - Perf results
On the following pages we'll show you charts done in multi-GPU mode. We'll keep the comments low and the pages filled to keep this as short as possible.
Please bare in mind that not for all comparative cards we have SLI and Crossfire results, this is an accumulation of multi-GPU records we have on file and include in the GTX 660 SLI results.

First up is Far cry 2 again with the very same settings. If your target resolution is 19x12 then 2-way SLI really works out.

If we place the results into a comparative multi-GPU chart at 19x12 then you'll notice that 2-way SLI is your way to go, GTX 660 really works out in this solution.

Quickly moving on towards Battlefield Bad Company 2, again we'll use the quality settings in the multi-GPU benchmarks identical to the single GPU tests. So this is:
- Level Upriver
- DirectX 11 enabled
- 8x Multi-sample Anti-aliasing
- 16 Anisotropic filtering
- All image quality settings enabled at maximum

Great 2-way scaling at 19x12 (!), that will be the generic consensus in all the multi-GPU benchies.

From here we'll quickly load up Battlefield 3, 2-way Scaling is very nice alright.

All test runs have enabled:
- DX11
- Ultra mode
- 4x MSAA enabled
- 16x AF enabled
- HBAO enabled
We don't have too many multi-GPU results on the game available, but it's impressive enough for a set of mid-range cards alright.
In this article we review the ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini edition, a compact performance graphics card designed primarily for small form factor PCs with mini ITX motherboards. The dual-slot card measures just 17cm and features the NVIDIA GTX 670 GPU. ASUS has re-engineered the DirectCU cooler to fit small form factor cases. While shorter, it introduces a copper vapor chamber placed directly on top of the GPU for faster heat spreading and dispersal with 20% lower temperatures than reference GTX 670.
ASUS GeForce GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II TOP review
In this review we'll test the GeForce GTX 660 Ti DCUII TOP from ASUS, it's their all new GeForce GTX 660 TOP version and admittedly to date is one of the most impressive graphics cards in the 660 Ti range we have tested.
ASUS GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II TOP review
We review the ASUS GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II TOP edition. It's factory overclocked pretty high, is pimped out and custom cooled. let's go have a look shall we ?
ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP review
We review the ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP edition. The DirectCU II TOP editions come factory overclocked pretty intensely towards 1058 MHz on the GPU base clock and a whopping 1137 MHz on the boost frequency. Even with that factory overclock, the card remains completely silent. Check out this review.
