Biased review is biased. All those games are old, and known to run better on nvidia cards. Why no BF3? what do you have to hide TT? Lets see some more up to date games benched then we shall see where the performance really is.

Also used Unigen Heaven 2.5.......um why not 3.0? been out for ahwile.....

TT again.... it's like every new card lately gets outed first by TT. nice card for most mainstream setups though. 1080p 2x/4xaa this is a nice product.

Tweaktown didn't break the NDA though. One of nvidia's partners might have brokend the NDA by giving TT a review sample, but no one will ever know which company that was.

I would assume because the card is sort of crippled when you add AA.

Without AA it is basically 7950 performance, but if you crank up the AA it falls to around 7850-7870 performance.

According to those beches , that 660Ti is better than the normal 7970... Well, if that's true, expect to pay over 370$ on it.

Holy crap - thanks for pointing that out. I was guilty of assuming that their benchmarks would've been run maxed. That'll learn me to pay more attention to detail.

Those results really put a new spin on this - looks like 670 and 7950 will remain the go-to cards for those looking for decent supra-580 performance/value...not that they are really value options.

Not that I disagree with you on this one since I haven't tried those games personally, but BF3 would fit in that group since it runs better on NVIDIA cards vs AMDs cards.

Don't really trust the review. TT reviews have always made no sense and have had scores going left and right for the same models in different reviews. I'll wait for Anandtech (or TPU).

But does it fit better than HAWX2, LP2/Mafia 2/JC2/FC2? I think not. tongue.gif
