ZOTAC GTX660 Ti AMP! Extreme Review
Introduction
Product on Review: GTX 660 Ti AMP! EXTREME
Manufacturer and Sponsor: ZOTAC
Street Price: £275 At time of review
Based on the same GK104 processor as the GTX670, it should come as no surprise that the GTX660Ti is one of the best graphics cards available at the £200-250 price point. We've already seen what the ZOTAC GTX660Ti AMP! edition can do so today we evaluate the tweaked 'Extreme' Edition which has an increased core clockspeed of 1098MHz, 65MHz higher than the standard AMP! Edition which results in a Boost speed of 1176MHz. Coupled with with the GK104's 1344 CUDA cores, the ZOTAC GTX660Ti AMP! Extreme Edition should be a formidable piece of hardware.
In today's climate, more people want the fastest card they can afford without having to mess about overclocking so it will be interesting to see just how this performance is reflected in real world applications. Is it worth buying over a reference GTX660Ti? Indeed how does it compare against other cards we have previously reviewed? These questions and more will be covered throughout the review so put the kettle on while we explore one of the fastest GTX660Ti's currently available.
