Save for the stickers on the Dual silencer fans you could be forgiven for thinking this is the exact same card we reviewed previously so excuse us if the following description seems to be familiar!
Card Top
The Twin Silencer dominates the cards appearance with two bright orange fans proudly on display hovering over what appears to be an aluminium finned heatsink shrouded by a black metal 'open' style frame.
Black PCB
The rear of the cooler shows off what has to be one of the best silk screened PCB's in the business as the matt black PCB really is matt black. Not dark brown or deep blue but plain old black - just how we like it. Obviously, there is a wealth of soldering and perhaps most interestingly a couple of memory modules which is rare in today's GPU production.
I/O Backplate
The I/O backplate of the card features a twin DVI ports, 1xDVI-I and one DVI-D, HDMI and a display port along with a small vent not that it's required in all honesty as the majority of hot air is exhausted back into the case.
Profile
The cards profile is very small with it measuring just 175mm long (185mm including shroud). Despite its diminutive size, 3 copper heatpipes hint at the performance/heat this heatsink will have to deal with. This is near identicle to the dimensions of the GTX660Ti AMP! Edition we reviewed earlier.
Power Ports
The card is powered by two 6pin PCIe power adapters. NVIDIA claim a TDP of around 134W for a reference design however, I would expect the TDP of this card to be slightly higher due to it being overclocked from the reference specification. A 450W PSU with a 24AMP rating is recommended by ZOTAC for this GPU.
SLI
Unlike many mid range graphics cards, the GTX660Ti allows for a multi(3+) GPU setup thanks to the twin SLI tabs.
The ZOTAC GTX660Ti AMP! Extreme is a very attractive piece of kit. The typical black and orange theme of ZOTAC once again works very well with this graphics card. The card is double PCI size which is a shame but what the card sacrifices in height, it makes up for in length because at just 18.5cm long, it will be perfectly suited to mATX builds.
Let's strip the card down and take a look at the ZOTAC PCB design...
