Club3D shows off its GeForce GTX 660:
The new Kepler GeForce GTX 600 Series offers record breaking performance and has been applauded by the press and users all over the world. Today, Club 3D introduces the GeForce GTX 660, a mid-range card and smaller brother of the award winning GTX 660Ti. This card offers an excellent upgrade for users of cards such as the GTX 260, GTX 460, GTX 560Ti, providing smooth performance and better gaming experience for the latest game titles.

The GTX 660 supports DirectX 11 rendering, which lets games take advantage of visual features such tessellation, PhysX onboard physics processing and GPU Boost, which dynamically increases the card's clock speed if the thermal and electrical headroom exist. Loaded with 960 CUDA parallel processing cores and a based clock of 980MHz which can boost to as much as 1033MHz. It is powered by 2GB of GDDR5 memory operating over a 192 bit interface, similar to his bigger brother the GTX 660Ti providing 6Gbps data rate. Output connectors will be two dual-link DVI, one HDMI, and one DisplayPort 1.2.
As well as its GeForce GTX 650:
Club 3D unveils today the new GeForce GTX 650, a new GPU that delivers great performance at a more aggressive price point. This new non-reference design model, offers a 80mm user replaceable fan, pushing the heat down to 30C under idle and containing it at 56C under load (3DMARK 11 under Extreme preset settings). The aerofoil blades and dust repelling bearings works under extreme load conditions, providing consistent 32.5db under load or idle.

With 158mm PCB size, this video card is optimal for smaller system chassis, making it ideal for users who do not want to replace their case and convenient for HTPC users and boosting up the performance by up to 46% compared to previous generation GeForce graphics card*.

The GeForce GTX 650 supports PCI Express 3.0 bus architecture offering the highest data transfer speed, DirectX 11 with Shader 5.0 support, Nvidia Adaptive vertical sync, a smarter way to render frames eliminating tearing, at low frame rates getting rid of distractions so you can get on with gaming. All these features backed by Nvidia Kepler GPU architecture, designed from the ground up not just for maximum performance but optimal for performance per watt. The result is world class performance and the highest image quality in an elegant and power efficient graphics card.

(*) The Club 3D GeForce GTX 650 is 46% faster than the GeForce GTX 550Ti reference board and only 13% slower than the standard GeForce GTX 560 but at a 35% lower price, offering great value.
