The increase in GDDR5 memory size will likely bring small performance jumps

Well-known mainboard manufacturer Gigabyte has just launched a new GeForce GTX 660 Ti video card. The GK104 chip inside GTX 660 Ti video cards can be complemented by 2 GB or 3GB of GDDR5 memory and, while Gigabyte already has 2 GB models, the company is now stepping up with a 3 GB version.

The new card is officially called Gigabyte GV-N66TOC-3GD and features the large dual-slot WindForce cooler that has three cooling fans.

Nvidia’s GK104 works here on a modest 192-bit BUS and it is clocked at 1032 MHz (915 MHz reference) with an 1111 MHz (980 MHz reference) optional Boost.

Therefore, the Gigabyte GV-N66TOC-3GD comes with a nice factory overclock next to the increased memory size.

The touted 3 GB of GDDR5 memory are working at the same dreaded 6008 MHz frequency as companies don’t bother to pre-overclock memory anymore.

The price is slated at 329 EUR and that’s almost $425 for the American buyer, but we have a feeling that customers in USA will enjoy some serious discounts.
