The rumours have come true, so just before the “back to school” season, we’re being greeted by the new GeForce, poised to find its place under the sun in the very attractive 250€ segment. Yes, the model in question is GTX 660 Ti, and it’s now finally clear that NVIDIA has decided to bring back the Ti(tanium) suffix for good. We’re glad to see this move, as this suffix has always been synonymous with quality and performance. The speculations surrounding GTX 660 Ti were reaching boiling point, with the latest “real” specs changing from day to day, from the idea that the chip on the card is entirely new, to the more realistic standing that the card will essentially be an impoverished GTX 670. All this journalist hype goes to prove just how much the IT public is interested in this model, especially since NVIDIA has taken so long to start descending into the masses with their latest generation. It’s clear that certain problems with the 28 nm lithography are present, but this doesn’t change the fact that NVIDIA is well behind its competitor, which has already started refreshing the existing latest-gen models, while NVIDIA is merely presenting the first ones, and the completion of the gamma is still not in sight. Yet all this fades into the background now that we finally have this card at hand, especially for those whose pockets aren’t too deep, but still want to have a Kepler GPU inside their enclosure.
