“The GTX 660 is a great little card. It has a small enough footprint to fit into a small enclosure and because of this it would be easy to dismiss this card as a poor gaming performer. You would however be wrong because for its size it is punching above its weight.”

“The GTX 660 provides a surprisingly high level of performance for its MSRP of $230. It's roughly 23% cheaper than last month's GTX 660 Ti while being only 14% slower when running games at 1920x1200.”

“If you're focused on smooth gameplay and not just nice frame rate averages, NVIDIA’s Kepler-based GPUs currently have the upper hand.”

“Overall gaming performance of the GTX 660 is enough for most titles at full HD with maximum details and anti-aliasing enabled.”

“With its low power requirements and gaming and work performance as well as being pretty quiet I think the GeForce 660 series will be a hit with budget gamers worldwide.”

“The new Nvidia GTX 660 certainly lives up to its promise of providing 1080p DX11 gaming for the masses at decently playable frame rates; all for an easily digestible sub-$200 price tag.”

“The Nvidia GTX 660 is designed from the ground up to provide great frame rates for 1080p gaming, and when it came down to it Nvidia really delivered. Across all of our 1080p benchmarks the GTX 660 was able to maintain a stutter free frame rate.”

“We continue to be impressed by NVIDIA’s Kepler products, and the GTX 660 is no different, packing strong features and respectable horsepower at a price point that we think will entice gamers on a modest budget.”

“The GK106-based GeForce GTX 660 2GB card from NVIDIA is another winning combination of performance, features and efficiency.”

“For 1920x1080 gaming on a budget, the GTX 660 has the ability to leverage the right price-performance point with the latest DX11 feature set to entice gamers to make that next upgrade to enjoy all that DX11 gaming has to offer.”

“Thanks to the high factory overclocking, the GTX 660 DirectCU II Top was on average 7 % faster than the reference GTX 660, which is just enough to reach the performance of the reference GTX 660 Ti. This also means that the DirectCU II Top version is as fast as the GTX 580.”

“During our testing the Gigabyte GTX 660 ran extremely well and surprised us with some really good results at even the massive 2560x1600 screen resolution.”

“Once again NVIDIA hits the sweet spot for performance versus price. The GTX 660 is a tremendous value for those looking to upgrade from older generation GPUs.”

“With its low power requirements and gaming and work performance as well as running almost silent I think the GeForce GTX 660 series will be a hit with budget gamers worldwide.”

“At $230 it’s our new favorite GPU in the price-to-performance category.”

“The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 proved to be a great performing card and the price is right. This is the card to look at below $250 if you want to build a 1080p gaming rig!”

“When we first reviewed the GeForce GTX 670 we declared it the best value high-end graphics card money could buy. Last month we found that the GTX 660 Ti exceeded the GTX 670’s price-to-performance ratio making it the best value performance graphics card. Now we have the GeForce GTX 660 and it offers an even better price-to-performance ratio than the Ti version.”

“When benchmarking and gaming at a resolution of 1080p, you are going to have a hard time finding games this card won’t play at nearly 60 FPS.”

“NVIDIA gamers can finally rejoice because at last they can spend their hard earned cash on a kick ass GTX600 series graphics card, under the sweet spot of £200. Their GTX660 is a superb discrete solution which sets a new benchmark against competing AMD parts.”

“The GeForce GTX 660 offers great performance in its segment, it's relatively quiet, power consumption is in-line and it's priced competitively. You can't ask for much more than that.”

“The GTX 660 handled all of our DX11 tests with excellent results. All games produced excellent and playable frame rates at 1080p with High and Ultra settings.”

“The best way to think about the GTX 660 is to consider that its performance is, generally speaking, about the same as the last-generation's best NVIDIA card, GTX 580, released in November 2010.”

“The GeForce GTX 660 appears to be a great card for gaming on Full HD resolution.”

“Another strong entry in the GeForce 600 series, the GTX 660 is an ideal card for those looking to game at 1920x1080 with great image quality in the latest games.”

“The GTX 660’s accessible price, relatively high performance and wide-ranging feature set should have a profound impact upon the PC gaming market.”

“NVIDIA and their partners have stepped up and given the value demographic a chance to experience the PC gaming boom that’s currently happening. What they’ve done is offer up a Ferrari at the price of a Ford Taurus. More importantly, what they’ve done is bring “next-gen” into your home RIGHT NOW.”

“There's much to love about the GTX 660, from its cheaper price, to its reduced power consumption, to its accomplished performance. It hits that sweet spot between price and pixel-pushing-power that many gamers have been waiting for since the launch of the Kepler architecture.”

“NVIDIA specifically targeted the 1080p gamers out there, and looking over our tests, only the 660 Ti beats it at that resolution.”

“The GTX 660 is a great value especially if all you really need is a single GPU solution that plays at 1080p resolutions well, and especially if you’re finding that you’re playing today’s newer titles.”

“Bottom line for the GTX 660? NVIDIA wanted to make Kepler available to every gamer with an affordable option and with the GTX 660 in an incredible combination of performance / power efficiency / affordability and they have hit the nail on the head on every count.”

“The GeForce GTX 660 "Kepler" graphics card demonstrates NVIDIA's ability to innovate the graphics industry while maintaining a firm lead in the mainstream market. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 shares the $200 price segment with AMD's Radeon HD 7850, yet occasionally performs like the $400 Radeon HD 7970.”

“GTX 660 is unquestionably a meaningful upgrade to an aging Fermi card – these days Fermi is going to have a hard time hitting playable framerates at 1920x with a high degree of quality”

“The GTX 660 brings good value and great performance to the 28nm GeForce Kepler family. With great features like PhysX and the second generation of 3D Vision, you can be assured of immersive gaming by picking this card for 1920×1080 resolution.”
