When the GTX660Ti first appeared on the scene we thought 'here we go again' with the usual re-hash of NVIDIA GPUs, re-badged, tweaked or disabled to spawn a new generation, saturating an already saturated market. Clearly this is still the case as the GTX660Ti is a re-badged, slightly tweaked GTX670. What it lacks in raw grunt though it makes up for in clockspeed and the ZOTAC AMP! Extreme is one of the fastest, if not the fastest factory overclocked GTX660Ti graphics cards out there. Even our own overclocking hardly managed to surpass the factory overclock which is proof that ZOTAC have clocked the GTX660Ti to the limit and thus is worthy of it's title - Extreme.

We are not massive fans of inflated prices which reflect what is in essence a couple of hours work yourself. This is especially the case when even buying an 'overclocked' graphics card results in the end user endeavouring to clock the card further. However, the fact that the factory overclock that comes with the AMP! Extreme is top of the league and also very near the maximum manual overclock is justification for the increased monetary value demanded by this card.

Priced at around £275 it is certainly one of the most expensive GTX660Ti's available but for that you get an extreme overclock, a great looking card and even a free mousemat. This may still make the Scrooges out there cringe but compared to the competition, some of whom ask £260 for a reference design, the ZOTAC GTX660Ti AMP! Extreme Edition begins to make more sense, especially if you want maximum performance from a plug and play device without having to find a maximum overclock yourself - it's done for you with the Zotac card. While you could buy the slightly cheaper ZOTAC GTX660 AMP! Edition and attempt to overclock that yourself to the Extreme level, there are no guarantees of success.



It should come as no surprise then that the product we have reviewed today is worthy of our Gold award. It achieves everything it set out to do. It betters the competition (albeit with updated drivers) and lives up to it's name which is something few 'extreme, ultra, overclocked, mega etc' graphics cards do.

In short, if you want the fastest factory overclocked GTX660Ti, the ZOTAC GTX660Ti AMP! Extreme should be top of your list.
