Because my (refurbished) GTX550Ti is holding up in everything *except* BF4, I'm looking down the road at eventual replacements, and, due to previous experience with it in non-personal hardware, naturally, the GTX660 came to mind.
Advantages - no PSU upgrade needed (same power requirements as current GPU), no driver replacement needed, full-size HDMI (the one quibble about my 550Ti is the mini-HDMI port), decent price.
Disadvantage - not latest or greatest in terms of nV GPU technology.
I'm trying to decide between a pair of GTX660s; both are from EVGA. The only differences are cooling and price. The choice is between the "base" Superclocked (http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-2662-KR) and the base Signature 2 (http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-2661-KR)
Which is the better choice paired with a Haswell i5-K?
