580 = Buffering will be faster but gaming... Not so!

 

[airdeano]

did you note the temperatures?
15°-20° hotter than the ASUS TOP cooler.. wondering about the sound of the fan @ 70° and
percentage of fan used (not listed). noting from Toms other 6-series blower coolers were quiet
the quite cards @ 40-50% fan duty...

I noticed on that video that it was only on Bencmarks that the GTX660ti was faster than the GTX580, and was hotter as well.

I think going by that if you have a GTX580 you should stick with it or atleast get a GTX670 if you have to upgrade.

I wouldn't say that destroys is the correct term. According to Tom's review, there is only a few fps difference in the BF3 benchmark.

Quote from the Gigabyte review:

perhaps most importantly is looking down the bottom of the graph where we can see the little GTX660Ti is equivalent to the GTX580!

Anyway, I will still be rocking with my 580 for a few years to come.

Umm, Bro there's many 660ti's to choose from only like 3 of them ahve blower fans (excluding the reference designed ones) and the ones that do are the same price as the ones that custom coolers on it, and the Asus card is the same thing as last year, Go be a fan boy somewhere else I'm pretty sure the MSi Card out performs the 660ti A-DCUII, and get better temps in some situations.. Go watch a review because unlike you I'm not talking out my ass I've tested many MSi Cards this year.. Only argument you have is with the triple slot DCU cards beating the msi dual slot cards but that's expected..

I agree, Not saying you should sell your 580.. for a 15% boost the 580 still beats it at rendering and what not

apparently your mistaken on the comment. as it was only a comparo and not a criticism.

need a mega-dose of chill.

Yeh Lauralarry you need to chill out.

 

[seumasbeathan]

It doesnt really destroy it at all tbh, its like a 5-10% increase at most

 

[corban]

the 660 is one thing and that is , overpriced.

Yeah the title of this thread is way exaggerated. It really doesn't beat the 580 by that much

If you want a matrix 580, have a look on ebay.co.uk, theres one on atm for a pretty good price, and multi-posting is against forum rules by the way.
