alright so welcome to a Linus tech tips blog video all about surround gaming performance and shotguns the shotguns and how they don't kill dudes like are you serious I'm half expecting him to get up at this point get up go nope we'll get up okay that's fine that's cool so I'm not going to spend too much time on gameplay this is the gtx 660ti from galaxy and we are going to go ahead and show you guys some performance numbers so we tested a cross-section of games here's our surround perf cross section of the excel chart some of the cross section anymore what happened to the graph one tackle you Luke better start over so let's start with crisis to crisis to this is running alt for presets so totally unrealistic for these guards if we turn it down to very high runs more like 35 40 FPS on the 660 ti but it does give us an idea of how these cards perform against each other so you can see the 660 ti does leg a little bit behind the 670 which performs pretty much neck-and-neck with the 7950 since the 7950 and the 670 are both a little bit more expensive than the 660 ti all of this pretty much stands to reason so we're going to go ahead and create new charts and graphs in real time so amazing you guys are seeing a real tech tip here so this is battlefield 3 and we have to add the data label every time because for some reason someone should do like excel tips for Linus about how to make it slide on after we do that every time so 660ti once again maybe it's due to the fact that the 7950 has three gigs of memory maybe it's due to the fact that it's just not quite as fast as a 79-54 pushing huge resolutions which could be related to memory bandwidth again comes probably back to memory but the 670 manages to keep pace with the 7950 well to 660 ti legs behind a little bit it should however be noted that 660 ti if you can get a model that over is actually a reasonably good overclocker and you can expect to get up to those 670 levels of performance without any difficulty so scary Skyrim now we just have to add our data label again and you can see once again the 660 ti does like behind Skyrim really benefits from something to do with the 7950 and it is definitely the big winner in terms of surround gaming however it should be noted that it's not necessarily all about surround gaming there are other things in this world such as the fact that you can enable stereo 3d should you see fit on the nvidia cards whereas honestly with the HD 3d is not is not quite there compared to 3d vision these are very high presets hydrophilic correctly alright which are to add data labels and for some reason our label ok hold on site guys for whatever reason we couldn't get which or two to run at all on the radeon card and this could have been just a random driver issue we are using the latest drivers but there was just nothing we could do about it and short of adding different cards to our comparison there wasn't a whole lot we could do to bring me results from the radeon side so we ended up having to stick with that our last one very demanding game metro 2033 and this is on i think if i think they call it very high so we didn't have depth of field on but other than that pretty much cranked and you can see in this guy's gonna make my adjustments here you can see in this guy the 660 ti once again legs behind the 7950 a little bit but the 670 does pretty well so what's the conclusion here conclusion is 660ti is fantastic and actually performs incredibly well for single monitor gaming if you guys saw the 1080p performance review that i already did then you'll know that already it performs pretty much right up there with the 70 950 however when we get into very high resolutions surround gaming scenarios the 7950 stretches its legs a little bit with its extra memory bandwidth its extra memory at all and that is personally what I think is is making the difference here so thank you for checking out this episode of Linus tech tips and don't forget to subscribe for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
