Experience with GTX660s in SLI

[guskline]

I've watched the newegg video on the GTX660 in SLI but is anyone actually running them in SLI? If so, your thoughts, pros and cons. Thank you.

That's great to hear.

OP - you can go over to the overclock forums, there are posts about this and it's proven to be real good. It is the best price/performance you can get if you don't want to spend over $400 on video cards. One multiplayer bench for BF3 a member posted was 93 fps maxed out. This is all for 1080p of course.

Thank you. I'll look over there.

guskline, what can I say? I don't have much experience to compare them with (last rig was QX6700 + 1 x GTX 550Ti). I have them in SLI and they work well for me. Price/performance is the best available in UK at my budget of £300 (~USD 450).

I had SLI 660's . Still have them on my desk. I used them in surround at 5760x1080. It's fast for sure. I don't hear a lot about it. I have some heaven and 3dmark benches saved. I just wanted a 680 lightning. My 660's are for sale in the Fs/Ft if you are interested in a setup for cheap.

I already have an EVGA GTX660SC running in a FX8320 rig. Excellent performance considering the price of the card. Just wanted more input from GTX660 SLI users. Thanks and good luck on your sale of the Galaxys. BTW readers EXCELLLENT price for 2 GTX660s!

what are the power requirements for the gtx 660? how much will i need to run 2

 

[Jaydip]

A quality 750 watts psu would be enough.

 

[aaksheytalwar]

I second this. A quality 750 watts will be enough.

Though I would rather get a single 680 lightening over 660 sli, or the equivalent amd option.

Thanks all of you for the input.
