all right so welcome to alius Tech tips blog video All About
surround gaming performance and shotguns
and shotguns and how they don't kill dudes like are you serious I'm half
expecting him to get up at this point get up get up no you won't get up okay
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 an idea of how these cards perform against each other so you can
see the 660ti does leg a little bit behind the 670 which performs pretty
much neck and neck with the 7950 since the 7950 and the 670 are both a little
bit more expensive than the 660 Ti all of this pretty much stands to reason so
we're going to go ahead and create new charts and graphs in real time so
amazing you guys are seeing a real Tech tip here so this is Battlefield
3 Battlefield
3 and we have to add the data label every time because for some reason you
know someone should do like Excel tips for lonus about how to make it so I
don't have to redo that every time so 660ti once again maybe it's due to the
fact that the 7950 has 3 gigs of memory maybe it's due to the fact that it's
just not quite as fast as the 7950 for pushing huge resolutions um which could
be related to memory bandwidth again comes probably back to memory but the
670 manages to keep Pace with the 7950 while the 660ti legs behind a little bit
it 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 difficulty so
Skyrim yay Skyrim now we just have to add our data
label again and you can see once again
the 660ti does lag behind Skyrim really
benefits from something to do with the 7950 and it is 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 can enable stereo 3D should you see fit on the
NVIDIA cards whereas honestly with the
um hd3d is not uh
is not quite there compared to 3D Vision
uh these are very high presets I recall correctly all right Witcher 2 add data
labels and for some reason our label okay hold on SEC guys for whatever
reason we couldn't get Witcher 2 to run at all on the Radeon card and uh this
could have been just a random driver issue we are using the latest drivers
but there was just nothing we could do about it and short of adding different
cards to our comparison there wasn't a whole lot we could do to bring you
results from the radon side so we ended up having to stick with that our last
one very demanding game Metro
2033 and this is on I think I think they call it very high uh so we didn't have a
depth of field on but other than that pretty much cranked and you can see in
this guy I'm just going to make my adjustments here you can see in this guy
the 660ti once again legs behind the 7 9950 a little bit but the 670 does
pretty well so what's the conclusion here conclusion is 660 Ti is fantastic
and actually performs incredibly well for single monitor gaming if you guys
saw the 1080p performance review that I already did then you'll know that
already it performs pretty much right up there with the 7950 however when we get
into very high resolution surround gaming scenarios the 7950 Str stretches
its legs a little bit with its extra memory bandwidth its extra memory at all
and that is personally what I think is is making the difference here so thank
