Pocket
rocket
By Tommy M.
It's 9.5
inches inches long, but it seems to sometimes give a 7950 a run for its money,
which costs about $100 more for the good ones, and whose reference card clocks
in at 11.5 inches. Battlefield 3 runs butter-smooth at 1080p, even with maxed
settings. ENB shader mods and texture packs in Skyrim don't slow it down
(though a high amount of mod-enhanced foliage will cause even this card to
strain at times). Metro 2033 runs fine at high settings.
It takes
pretty much everything I can throw at it -- and it does it pretty much
silently. The full "shroud" over the card ensures some noise
absorption *and* reduced ambient heat inside the case. When you add adaptive
Vsync, PhysX and CUDA into the mix, there's a lot to like. You can also force
FXAA in the control panel when you encounter a game that won't accept your
usual anti-aliasing settings and/or does not have any of its own.
It has a
192-bit memory bus, which is unusually small. But this doesn't seem to make
much difference at 1080p. It's not very overclockable, but when I can get
nearly 7950 performance out-of-the-box at $230, and it needs just one PCIe
cable (mounted on the side for better case ergonomics), I can't really complain.
The Gallium
0.4 drivers in Fedora 17 and Linux Mint produce a slightly fuzzy image, though.
I had to install Nvidia's proprietary drivers -- not the easiest process -- to
get a crisp image. Not big enough of a deal to take a star off, IMO.
If you're playing
games or otherwise rendering 3D at screen resolutions above 1080p, I'd
recommend AMD's 7950 or 7970, since they have more RAM and enough memory
bandwidth to take advantage of it. But for gaming at 1080p, this card is hard
to beat. You may want to hold out for Black Friday before getting it. But since
it's only been out for about a month, I would not expect significant discounts.
**Update Jan
27:** Everything's still working fine. I have updated the drivers several times
without glitches. The card continues to run quietly and powerfully. Installing
proprietary drivers in Linux is still pretty much necessary to get proper image
fidelity (or even full desktop resolution, in most cases), but the process is
noticeably easier just a few months after writing my original review. The
Mageia 3 beta is the only Linux distro I've found that will not at least give
me a command prompt, if it fails to load the desktop environment. On the
Windows side, the recently released "GeForce Experience" software should
make performance optimization much easier for people who are new to PC gaming,
or if they have busy lives and not enough time to keep up on all the gearhead
stuff. That piece of software does an all-or-nothing toggle, though, so it's
not ideal.
I have yet
to encounter any game that struggles at 1080p, but I figure it's better to have
the performance and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Plus, the
upcoming consoles will presumably raise the bar anyway. If the rumors are
accurate, they'll be using the 7970 mobile GPU from AMD to drive their
graphics, and it's no slouch.

Fantastic.
By Trevor
This card is
amazing. It plays any game I throw at it on the highest settings. I bought a
$400 Gateway at the local store, tossed this and a new power supply in and now
it's a dream machine. The games I've been able to play on max settings at
1920x1080 include:
Crysis:
55fps
Crysis 2:
70fps
WoW: 100fps+
Skyrim:
60fps
Dishonored:
90fps
Minecraft:
300fps+
If you buy
this card and you're currently using integrated graphics, you will not regret
it. It runs idle at around 33C, and in intense games it runs around 70C. The
customer support is fantastic, and it comes with a 3 year warranty. You can't
go wrong with this card!

Powerful,
easy to install
By Zalzan
As an MMO
player, my GeForce 310 was just not cutting the mustard for me anymore (10-15
FPS on Guild Wars 2). I did the research, decided on the GTX 660 as the best
combination of power and value for me, and ordered it. Also ordered a new power
supply, as the minimum for this card is 450W. Got them, put them in. As an only
moderately tech-savvy type, it took me about 30 minutes to replace both pieces.
Not a big job. Put it all back together, and it worked! Now, getting 50-70 FPS
rate on Guild Wars 2 with everything else the same, and can run on the higher
graphics level instead of the most basic graphics level. Huge difference, well
worth the money, and easy to put in. Comes with a couple of cool but probably
unnecessary utilities too, if you are the type who likes to know the GPU
temperature and GPU fan speed all the time.
