ASUS GeForce GTX 660 

In terms of performance, we see an 8% performance improvement compared to the reference GTX 660.

This little increase helps the card gain a 1% performance increase, nothing relevant in real life, over the NVIDIA GTX 660 reference design.

We have seen the same behavior in our GTX 660 Ti reviews and suspect that MSI found a way to get more performance than other board partners out of their cards.

This isn't just a game - it's a masterpiece - a very large sandbox game that rejects the quality-quantity inverse proportionality.

A new game bundle with top notch titles is also available.

The game's unique combat system gives you significant freedom over your movement, actions you take, and counter-attacks - individual body parts can also be targeted.

StarCraft II does not support multi-monitor gaming, because it would provide an unfair advantage in competitive multiplayer as a larger portion of the map would be visible.

The game uses the studio's in-house Road Hog Engine, which isn't particularly heavy on new-generation DirectX features, but can still be taxing for some GPUs.

We tested the game with details set to the maximum possible.

GPU overclocking yielded a typical average overclock for GTX 660.

MSI is asking $259 for their overclocked DC II TOP, which is the same as any other overclocked card tested today.

Gigabyte is asking $259 for their overclocked GTX 660, which is the same as any other overclocked card tested today.

This power configuration is good for up to 150 W of power draw.

This power configuration is good for up to 150 W of power draw.

We see higher clocks and a better PCB design that has more power phases and an additional six pin PCI-Express power connector.
