you guys can check that out we'll have a screenshot of that back there as well those are the things that are really pertinent to this card this card's gonna be coming into market at about 300 dollars and if you guys saw the unboxing you know all the stuff that comes in the box and all the close-up shots the card so for now let's actually jump in let's talk about the actual specific features the speeds and feeds and then let's go check out the performance of this gtx 660ti from gigabyte so let's first off just talk about some of the things that we want to really reiterate that are specific to the gigabyte overclocked version of the gtx 660ti you know before we talked about it but you can see their whole cooling apparatus is right here this is their wind force cooling technology it's anti turbos which doesn't make a bunch of noise why it's running underneath it is the complete cooling solution you can see the aluminum fins all throughout the card and you can also see the copper heat pipes going completely through it as well you can also see there are two 6-pin power connectors the geforce gtx 660ti typically draws up to 134 watts of power and most non TDP apps this is what she'll experience with the power target slider set its default one at percent settings now if you wish to overclock the card we highly recommend that you max the slider out to 123 percent at this setting the board will drop to 165 watts and non TDP apps so now let's talk features the geforce gtx 660ti has been designed for gamers who want to enjoy their games with the graphics settings in a turned up they also geared this card for a 1920 by 1200 or 1920 by 1080 resolution now one thing that all cards will have in common they will all contain thirteen hundred and forty four CUDA cores and seven SMX units the memory subsystem the geforce gtx 660ti consists of three 64-bit memory controllers for a total of 192 bit memory controller it also has two gigabytes of gddr5 memory now the base clock speed of the geforce gtx 660ti is 915 megahertz and the typical boost clock speed is 980 megahertz the gigabyte overclocked version however ships with a base clock of a thousand 33 megahertz and has a boost clock of 1111 megahertz or 1111 mega it's kind of a tricky number to say now all cards also ship with a memory clock speed of 608 megahertz which transfers to 144 point 2 gigabytes a second total memory bandwidth pretty fast stuff now let's talk about the actual size of the card the actual PCB the silicon is actually under 9 inches but measuring the card with the cooler it measures 10 inches long by 4 inches high by about an inch and a half thick we'll have this all translated into millimeters for you guys in the screen for you guys over in Europe now the rear eye of the card this is actually my favorite configuration I like having two dual link DVI connections a standard DisplayPort and a standard HDMI I'm not really a big fan of the smaller ones using the AMD cards although that's what all the people who use Apple and everything are using I prefer this one so those are pretty much the features of the card now let's move in and let's check out the performance of the card and see how it does against the competition all right folks so there you have the specs you guys have seen how fast the card is you see how cool it runs now out of all the cards I've tested the gigabyte card actually is running very very cool I was very happy with that the cards running very cool its numbers are good it's gonna be coming to market at $300 so it's right in there to compete in the mid arena of things now there's all kinds of cool features that are specific to Nvidia cards themselves which could be a whole nother can of worms you know they're adaptive vsync all that different type of different stuff they have for their card you know all of their multi monitor technology all that stuffs in there but that'll be some other videos today you would just want to get you guys the basic features show you how fast the card was and let you guys make a buying decision based off those things say hey is that the card I'm looking for so this card is priced right there in the middle of where the cards that they'll be cards probably anywhere from $2.99 all the way up to 369 this card's right there in the lower 300s it competes well I feel at the end of the day this gigabyte card is a very hot product for those looking for a mid-range video card in the three hundred dollar range so you guys saw it here and we'll see you guys back on tech o tomorrow see you guys later
