Most of them use custom GTX 670 PCBs and come with pre-overclocked chips

Nvidia is preparing a full blown attack against AMD at the $300 price point. The weapon used by the Californian company is the GK104-300-KD-A2 28 nm GPU manufactured at TSMC.

The strategy seems to be allowing and even encouraging the partners to use all their creativity on custom designed PCBs and cooling systems and using factory overclocked settings.

The cards unveiled by the hardware experts from videocardz.com are almost all clocked higher than Nvidia’s own reference design and the ASUS GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II TOP seems to be the champion.

The top performing ASUS card is reportedly clocked at a default GPU frequency in 3D mode of 1059 MHz and it has an amazing Boost option of 1137 MHz.

The 2048 MB of memory is disappointingly clocked at the same 6008 MHz, but it’s hard to criticize ASUS for that as no manufacturer has tampered with the memory frequencies.
