Buy now $209.99

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce GTX 660 sales 6 September 2012 at a recommended price of $229. This is Kepler architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 2 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6.0 GB/s are supplied, and together with 192-bit GDDR5 memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 144.2 GB / s.

Compatibility-wise, this is 2-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 9.5" (24.1 cm). one 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 140 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 20.95 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
