Impressions and benchmarks

GeForce GTX 660

Level Upriver
DirectX 11 enabled
8x Multi-sample Anti-aliasing
16 Anisotropic filtering
All image quality settings enabled at maximum

I had doubts using this title as it is quite stringent on the settings but mind you that for the GTX 660 DX11 is actually enabled --- that's how much stronger today's cards really are.

GeForce GTX 660

I wanted at least one modern game title in the benchmarks:

DX11
Very high Quality mode
in-game AA enabled
in-game AF enabled

You'll notice that the GTX 660 again is being treated unfair -- it runs in DX11. For this title though the frame buffer is becoming a rather big issue for the 9800 GT.

3DMark Vantage also was gives a good indication of per card performance with that one single number/score.

And the last title is being run in DX9 with 4xAA. Again have a peek at the 1280x1024 resolution to be able to get a grasp of a more objective comparison. It's quite huge .. the performance difference that is.

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.
