Hello everyone another question for you all, how does GTX 660ti compare vs gtx 580. Thanks!

The 660 Ti is a little better, depending on the game. Quieter and less power hungry though, but probably not worth upgrading from one to the other (certainly not from a GTX 580 Lightning).

There are dozens of reviews out there that should give you a really good idea if not a direct comparison of the 2 cards.

Only major hurdle for the GTX 660ti to get over the GTX 580 is the much smaller memory interface but the GTX 660ti is faster and runs cooler and is more energy efficient and in the end I think the GTX 660 ti is so fast that it can catch up to and pass the GTX 580 while saving energy and running cooler.


I'd rather have the GTX 660 ti.

keep your gtx580's. the anandtech benchies of the gtx580 are the same benchies from over a year ago during release with outdated drivers. they're rather neck n neck between the two (performance wise). going from a gtx580 to a gtx660ti is a sidegrade and certainly not worth spending extra on it imo.

OP the ideal upgrade for you would be the upcoming GTX 780 based on the GK110 chip. looks like a real beast. should be out by Jan 2013.

Nah, might as well wait for the new AMD card that comes out in spring

There's always something new around the corner
