GTX 660 Ti NVIDIA Surround Performance Review Gaming Showcase Linus Tech Tips

The GTX 660 Ti is presented as a strong multi monitor surround gaming option, with Linus Tech Tips testing a Galaxy model across several demanding titles to gauge real world performance. In the first five minutes, the video lays out the testing approach, noting that Ultra settings in Crisis 2 push the card to its limits while still offering a reasonable comparison against the 670 and the 7950, with the 660 Ti showing its strength in single monitor scenarios. The host demonstrates live data visualization in Excel as new charts are created to compare performance across games like Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Witcher 2, and Metro 2033, highlighting how memory bandwidth and memory amount influence surround performance. The narrative emphasizes that the 660 Ti can overclock moderately well, potentially reaching 670-level performance, but that memory bandwidth and capacity remain the limiting factors in multi-monitor setups. It is concluded that while the 660 Ti delivers excellent value for single monitor gaming, the 7950 maintains an advantage in surround gaming due to its greater memory bandwidth and 3GB of memory, though the 660 Ti remains a compelling choice for its price-performance balance. The host also touches on stereo 3D support, noting some advantages of Nvidia’s solution over competing HD3D, and closes with a call to subscribe for more reviews and related computer content.
