GTX 660ti or 560ti?

interesting, thanks marcus for the clarification
same velocity, more ram, but less power and noise, good product, except for the price, here in italy is double of a 590
ciao beppe

Really? That's weird. A 690 is here only 20% more than a 590 - if you can get a 590 at all. But I guess, if you have a 590, use it. Beside the RAM and heat there is no other real advantage of the 690 over the 590.

Ok thanks for all the clarification, I thought i made a mistake buying the 590 instead of the 690's.

Nice to afford a 690 or two at ~2000 NZ dollars each
You don't happen to have a 670 for a performance comparison do you?
I'm sort of interested in one but I can't quite work out how fast it would be in comparison to my 460
Maybe I'll sit out a generation in the hopes Nvidia get serious about single precision again...

I just purchased a EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E Video Card (02G-P4-3660-KR) to replace my gtx 560ti. I paid $284 CAN and the only difference from a gtx 670 is the memory bandwidth (670 - 256) (660ti - 192). Otherwise the only other difference is the 670 sells for roughly $110 CAN more.

Wouldn't be possible for you guys to get test cards from Nvidia or one the Manufactures? I mean after all you are currently an exclusive developer for them and bring them a lot of new customers.
So many magazines get test samples of the newest cards, I'm sure you as developers should be able to get a sample of the current cards aswell.
