GeForce GTX 660 May Be Unveiled At Computex

GeForce GTX 660 May Be Unveiled At Computex geforce gtx 660
There’s a lot of speculation whether NVIDIA will release their new GK104 based card in upcoming months or even next week. The latest rumors say that some AIB partners will reveal their new GTX 660 cards during Computex in Taipei.

We should take this information with a grain of salt, mostly because two previous leaks suggested it not coming in at least 3 to 5 months. But apparently, we might expect it even sooner than we thought. According to VR-Zone, this new card will be presented by some manufacturers during Computex event, which is held in Taipei starting from June 5th.

New graphics card, which is based on GK104 GPU would feature four SMX clusters, with 768 CUDA cores (that’s two times less than GTX 680).

As the story about GTX 660 gets detailed, we learn that it will cost at least $300, which is more than it’s predecessor of GTX 560 Ti 448 (the most powerful variant of GTX 560).

A photoshopped picture of alleged GTX 660 card is also released throughout the web. Although this is in fact MSI GTX 670, with this unfortunate typo on the box, we can learn that it comes with one 6-pin power connector, to consume up to 150 Watts — and this information is verified by some sources of VR-Zone.

It’s quite possible that NVIDIA may release their GeForce GTX 660 next week, while 660 Ti model would be unveiled during summer.

    $300 sounds way too expensive for a 768 CUDA core part when GTX670 has 1344 and costs $400…..

    Rumors didn’t specify if $300 is a price for Ti model or non-Ti. I’m just putting this all together.
    My speculations are quite simple:
    $240-270 GTX 660 non-TI,
    $270-330 GTX 660 Ti (which would have 5/6 SMXs)

    A drop from 1344 to 768 cores seems like a lot for a 3rd tier card, Nvidia have either nerfed the x60 series of cards, or the gtx660 is going to have some pretty high clock/boost speeds. I think it’ll need close to 1.2Ghz if they’re giving it a 192-bit bus.

    Fair enough. Still, you gotta admit this generation’s mid-range cards are underwhelming. Recall GTX 260/HD4870 $299 way faster than 8800GTX/Ultra, then GTX460 1GB > GTX280/285/4890. In the past, every single next generation mid-range NV GPU has always even tied or surpassed the previous generation high-end NV GPU. I am not sure the GTX660Ti with those 768 CUDA core rumored specs has any chance beating GTX580. I think this more than anything just shows that GTX670 was meant to be the $299 mid-range chip all along but NV raised prices because HD7950 is so underwhelming.

    People will buy any card that is new, it doesn’t have to be faster than GTX 580, it’s a new generation. Anyway, we shouldn’t compare 600 series to any previous since they messed up the whole naming system.
    There is a large gap between low-end kepler/fermi rebrands cards and any upcoming 660. NVIDIA will likely release a card with 768 CUDA cores, since it will be somehow in a middle of this whole lineup.

    Fake ! this is the GTX670 ! Look at the red betwin G and T = 3 of 3 years garantie on the MSI GTX 670 Box
