And as you can see there are GDDR5 SMT solder traces next to each RAM IC, that's where the 3 GB versions will come in inevitably. The card is PCIe gen 3.0 compatible. Going from PCIe Gen 2 to Gen 3 doubles the bandwidth available to the add-on cards installed, from 500 MB/s per lane to 1 GB/s per lane.

You can see two SLI connectors, the 660 Ti series is allowed to work with up to three cards in SLI mode. For proper scaling and little driver issues as possible we always recommend to stick to 2 cards in multi-GPU mode.

With all the custom coolers we have seen it's good to finally meet the reference cooler design. The cooler is a bit longer then the PCB. The cooler itself under normal conditions definitely is silent enough and the cooling  performance is adequate enough.

EVGA gives the card two DVI connectors (dual-link), one HDMI and a DisplayPort connector (full size). A nice open mesh makes sure the card can exhaust it's heat.

The GeForce GTX 660 Ti  has a maximum power consumption of roughly 150 Watts, the typical power raw will actually be a good notch lower. You'll need to power the card with two 6-pin PCIe PEG lead from your power supply. Due to the small PCB the connectors look a little oddly placed, but that is because the cooler is longer than the actual PCB. Power supply wise we recommend a 550 power supply to start with. With one card that is.
