Gigabyte GTX 660Ti OC Video Card Review

The Gigabyte GV-N66TOC-2GD measures in at 10 inches overall.  You'll notice that the PCB is considerably shorter measuring in at 8.5 inches with the rest being consumed by the dual slot Windforce cooler.  This dual fan cooler is designed to maximize cooling performance and do so with minimal noise.  The dual 92mm fans do a remarkable job at remaining quiet under normal operation, so much in fact that you'll hardly notice them even under an intense gaming session.

Flipping the card over we can see the Gigabyte blue PCB and how much shorter the card is when compared to the Windforce cooler.  

Video output is comprised of two dual link DVI video outputs combined with a single Display Port and standard HDMI connection.  All four of these can be used at the same time allowing you to run 3-way surround and still have a spare monitor for use outside of the game.

Here we have one of the coolest features found on the GTX 660Ti, two SLI bridge connectors!  In the past NVidia has limited x60 cards to only a single bridge connection forcing hardware enthusiasts to buy the more expensive GPUs for multi-GPU fun. 

That thinking has changed somewhat with the GTX 660Ti and with two bridge connections you can finally run multi-GPU configurations up to 3-way SLI.  

Unlike the Windforce cooler found on the GTX 670 the card doesn't come with a top bracket or any onboard heatsinks other than what is shown in the picture.  This can be a mixed blessing for anyone wishing to watercool this GPU.  On the positive the card is completely open and will accept just about any GPU based waterblock you can find.  The only downside is that you'll need to acquire a PWM cooler or harvest it off the stock cooler.
