(Update) MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti Power Edition Pictured and Detailed

(Update) MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti Power Edition Pictured and Detailed new card geforce gtx 660ti
Pictures of MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti graphics cards have surfaced. The pictures leaked few days ago, which allegedly presented GTX 660 Ti Hawk Edition, have in fact shown this card.

MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti Power Edition has many overclocking features, including enhanced PWM design or triple-overvoltage (control over core, memory, and PLL voltage). Also the card has Twin Frozr IV cooling system – basically this card is almost identical to GTX 670 Power Edition.

As a confirmation, that the pictures leaked in earlier post did not show Hawk Edition but this Power Edition model, there are clock speeds revealed. Card has a base clock of 1019MHz, boost clock of 1097MHz and memory left at reference speed 6GHz. The interesting fact is cards TDP of 190W, while reference require only 150W.  GTX 660 Ti is equipped with 2048MB GDDR5 memory by default, which operates on 192-bit interface.

Also the picture confirms that GTX 660 Ti has 2GB of memory, not 3GB as shown in GPU-z screenshot.

MSI GTX 660 Ti PE is equipped with two DVI’s one HDMI and DisplayPort.

    The PE for 7850 didn’t allow it to overclock further than other brands as chip ASIC is totally random.

    I’ll call this a similar gimmick

  • http://videocardz.com/ VideoCardz.com

    Also as far as I know, NVIDIA does not allow core overvoltaging, so I don’t really understand why they are calling this a feature, when there isn’t any.

  • LedHed

    Well unless MSI has gone brain dead on us, calling it the “Power Edition” had to mean something. My question is why are you going to change the voltage on the Phase-locked Loop? Even in CPU overclocking the PLL plays a small role and it seems like a great way to break something on a GPU with most people having no idea what the PLL even does.

    On previous Kepler cards is NVIDIA preventing voltage modification through software? Or have they locked it on the hardware side? Or both?

  • http://videocardz.com/ VideoCardz.com

    I’m not familiar with PLL overclocking, as you say, it has limited functionality.

    NVIDIA told partners not to provide any overvoltaging features, even the current batch of GTX 680 Lightning has now disabled voltage control – that’s what Guru3D said – only first 5000 cards can be manipulated.

    I don’t remember what was official word about Fermi cards, but there were many overvoltaging possibilities.

    €330, no way im gonna pay that much for a supposed midrange card, maybe i will find some used 7950 on ebay or something.
    Even stock 660 Ti will be like €300.
    For now just my G210 xD.

  • SalemSwift

    I’ll still wait for the wave of reviews, but if this card is withing $50-75 USD of the GTX 670, I may just save a bit more and jump to the 670.

  • bruno

    Can anyone tell me if it’s going to be faster than 7950? thanks

  • http://videocardz.com/ VideoCardz.com

    No it won’t. The GTX 660 Ti is not a bad card, it’s just limited due to shorter 192-bit interface and lesser processors – therefore it will perform worse with high resolutions and image enhancing technologies like anti-aliasing.

  • Ricoo

    Really not interesting, with some GTX670 at 350 € I wouldn’t hesitate long…

    Thanks a lot! I hoping for the 7950 to drop price because in my country a decent 7950 model cost 372€ and a gtx 670 415€

    GTX 670 prices should drop slightly, while HD 7950 should stay at this level (GTX 660 Ti is not really a counterpart to it).

  • Bruno

    I’m trying to spend as little as possible, my resolution is 1920:1080.
    What graphics card would you recommend?

  • http://videocardz.com/ VideoCardz.com

    That depends which games you play?

  • xxxxx

    Hahah same though I’m waiting for 660 but now my HD 2600XT five years old little bit burnt still going strong on 110degrees celcius :D

    I’m loosing my enthusiasm for the 660, now. Higher TDP than the 670, 192 bit bus, $330+USD? I’m sure the rest of the non-reference cooled 660Ti’s will be pretty identical to this. Unless the price of the the OC’ed 660 Ti’s are $299-315, this is starting to look less appealing than a 670.

  • SalemSwift

    *less appealing than saving a little more for the 670, that is.

    Racing games, the witcher 2, max payne 3 and in the future gtav

    Witcher 2 and Max Payne are very demanding, you are looking here for HD 7950 or GTX 670.

    As you can see, in MP3 slightly overclocked GTX 670 is faster than hd 7950, while in witcher stock hd 7950 is much faster than overclocked gtx 670. So it’s up to you, but I’d recommend HD 7950, while it can still be overclocked and even outperform GTX 680 in some games.

  • Robert Polson

    He’s going to be angry!

  • Robert Polson

    The problem is that the 7950 can outperform the GTX680 but the GTX670 can outperform the HD7970… Then you go for the price and that’s the 7950 who wins.

  • Bruno

    I just found out a guy selling this model for 265€ http://castelobranco-castelobranco.olx.pt/vtx3d-hd7950-x-edition-3-gb-nova-iid-425577937
    What do you think?

  • skr13

    Para nova o preço ate esta bom, na pixmania custa 300 EUR.
