I just got my first 660TI sc today. I was using an XFX 7770 Black Edition in xfire. Long story short too many problems with the cards working togather. I am praying that this card will be a big improvment for me. Can anyone tell me if there is a weak spot in my system? or a sugestion to change anything. Everything is running stock settings. My system: Gigabyte ga- z77x-ud5h I-7 3770k Corsair GS 700w psu corsair vengance 16 gigs@ 1600 corsair H100 corsair Force 3 120gig ssd WD green 1 terebit for storage LG bluray burner Corsair 600t case New Evga GeForce GTX 660 Ti sc

thanks for the welcome, from what I was reading online is it true all 600's use the same gpu? but are binned according to how they run? I almost got the Nvidia version of this card but it was another 50 and couldnt justify the extra money.wish I could have afforded the 670 or the 680. But from what I've read, 2 of these in SLI out perform them. Is that true? I ran 3dmark11 and this was my score: P8373 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti(1x) and Intel Core i7-3770K Processor Graphics Score8462 Physics Score8998 Combined Score7080 Is this good? my XFX was about half

Looks pretty solid man, I actually just switched from AMD myself. Your specs are also a bit better than mine, and I'm running the 680, so you really shouldn't have any issues.

Looks like a winner to me. Also it was a good choice going with Nvidia.

Yeah well not to disappoint you, NVIDIA has nasty driver issues too, the same AMD has no difference there. Just telling from my experiences, the famous Black screen NV driver has Crashed crashes have bugged me many times You just should know what driver you should avoid and you can only do this by finding out by testing them. I know people that Use Radeons and don't have a single problem, the same I know People with GeForces that don't have a single problem, but I also know the ones that have major issues with both. So to be honest Radeon or GeForce it does not really matter, they both have issues they both can rock too. No need to choose sides I'm like But I think you will see neat improvements as the specs go  I think you are gonna love this setup, it's all about the improvements right !
