welcome to my 3D Vision performance review of the GTX 660 Ti so in this case
we have Galaxy's GC dual fan card and
we're comparing it to a couple of different scenarios so number one is
we're comparing it to a last generation solution so we've got a GTX 560 TI on
the test bench we're going to be running three different games uh the Elder
Scrolls is it four five I don't know something oh um Skyrim the latest one
we're going to be running crisis 2 slick really cares that I say that it's Elder
Scrolls 5 okay it's good slick um so
it's Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim and then we've got crisis 2 and Metro 2033 which
we will be doing our usual run throughs we're going to be using our high details
and Ultra details that we normally use to Benchmark these cards except throwing
3D into the mix actually dram atically increases the load on the card so what
we discovered is that okay okay what we were trying to find out is how does the
660ti compare to the $670 which is $100
more and how does it compare to the last generation equivalent card the 560 TI in
3D performance so right there so there's a lot more load on the card in 3D just
because it has to render both the left eye and the right eye image at the same
time and you can see here that we are actually getting only about 20 FPS
crisis 2 using 3D Vision so look through one of the lenses if you can if there's
a way so you can see that the legginess level is actually quite High I hope you
can see that anyway the point is that it is so let's have a look at what kind of
performance results we got we're not actually running a benchmark right now we're all done with the
benchmarking so here we go let's create some graphs charts and graphs that's
like my favorite thing ever so select data and uh we're going to go with our
3D Vision performance and we're going to look at crisis 2 first oh oh oh I did it
wrong Excel doesn't like it when you select things in the wrong order so
we're going to look at minimum FPS as well as average FPS we're going to put
in some data labels so you guys are seeing the whole graph creation process
here from start to finish including
boldness okay so the 560ti reference
gets pwned in crisis 2 minimum FPS is
about a third of what you see on a 660
Ti um from the latest generation of
NVIDIA products using a Kepler GPU so remember 560 TI is firmy and this says
Battlefield 3 1080p Ultra but what it means is Crisis 2 3D there we go so now
let's pull up another chart and graph for you guys um in this case it says uh
it says PE but actually it's not the 660
Ti PE it's the 660 Ti GC from Galaxy so
pay no pay no mind to that okay yeah
these are this is like my super professional approach to to graphing for
tonight it's actually it actually is 5:00 a.m. so the 660 Ti launches in an
hour which means that uh We've we've sort of given up on um a lot of things
and we're very tired both me and Slick
Slick's CL oh yeah he's nodding I thought he was claiming to be not tired
and I was going to be like liar
liar I add data labels Bolding the data
so you can see here again the 660ti basically wouldn't even run like slick
couldn't do anything average FPS of one
um whereas with a newer solution whether it's the faster GPU whether it's the
additional vram which is needed a lot
more so in 3D Vision than it is in non-3d Vision mode we were able to get a
minimum of 30 FPS with our 660ti and this is a bit of an anomaly
where our 6 70 loses but it is what it is um lots of weird things happen in
benchmarking we try not to question it too much if you question it then you
might end up understanding it which is
madness Sparta something let's go with Metro 20133 I don't even know what I'm
talking about anymore I hope no one watches this video I think that'll be
better Metro 2033 and once again this 560 TI gets
absolutely creamed
with a whopping 2.5 FPS I barely even
could make the jump that I have to do for my benchmarking run and the 660 Ti
uh also gets crushed and so does the 670
but they do a lot better than this one by like a order of magnitude so what we
learned today is that the 660 Ti is a
worthy upgrade if you're using a 560 and
you want to go with a 3D Vision solution and that the 660 performs pretty closely
to a 670 except in one weird instance where it actually outperformed it I
wonder if slit copied the wrong number down he says no I think I was the one
who worked on yeah I worked on those okay so one way or another the 660ti is
an awesome video card and my other videos about this video card are better
you should probably watch those don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for

don't forget no I just said don't forget to subscribe it's like 5 in the
