First benchmarks of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660Ti appear; has Radeon 7900 series as target

Tweaktown are embroiled in a little battle with NVIDIA PR currently, and as such have not been included in NVIDIA's briefing and sampling program. This isn' working out well for NVIDIA, as being based in Taiwan, Tweaktown have a very healthy relationship with all the AIB partners. As such, they've got a GeForce GTX 660 Ti, no NDA, and the time to test it.

Looking at the 3DMark11 results, the 660Ti should be a solid choice.

Looks like a decent card. I wonder what the price/thermals/noise will look like? I'm looking for a mid-high end card to put in my media center for some decent living room gaming.

Also, how awesome is it to see the Ti moniker back? Remember the Geforce4 Ti? I remember picking one out for my neighbor and it came bundled with a free copy of Giants.

Agreed but at what price? $299?

nice to see competition, which will drive prices down.. the real loser though might seem to be the GTX 680/670,.. why pay 2x as much for +10% (4.7 for gtx 670, 11.3 for GTX 680)... and with rumors of a gtx 670se/660 256 things could get worse.. almost makes me regret buying a 6gb 7970.. almost ;-)
