that's fine that's cool so I'm not going to spend too much time on gameplay this is GTX 660ti from Galaxy and we are going to go ahead and show you guys some performance numbers so we tested a cross-section of games here's our surround perf uh cross-section of the Excel chart it's not really a cross-section anymore what happened to the graph Luke did I call you Luke you better start over so let's start with crisis 2 crisis 2 this is running Ultra presets so totally unrealistic for these cards if we turn it down to very high it runs at more like 35 40 FP s on the 660ti but it does give us

should however be noted that 660ti if you can get a model that over volts is actually a reasonably good overclocker and you can expect to get up to those 670 levels of performance without any

definitely the big winner in terms of surround gaming however it should be noted that it's not necessarily all about surround gaming there are other things in this world um such as the fact that you
