NVIDIA has finally launched the GeForce GTX 660 Ti graphics card, priced at $300 / 240-270 Euro.

Powered by the A2 revision of the GK104 graphics processing unit, it has 1,366 CUDA cores, 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM (192-bit interface, 6 GHz frequency).

The clock speed of the chip is 915 MHz, unless the GPU boost technology kicks in, in which case the performance can jump to 980 MHz.

It definitely makes us see why AMD bothered with the special new BIOS for Radeon HD 7950, even though the difference in clocks is still huge.

Other specs of the GTX 660 Ti include two DVI ports, HDMI, DisplayPort 1.2, two 6-pin power connectors and a TDP (thermal design power) of 150W.
