Finally got my new GTX 660 2GB Superclocked today. $191 after rebate and included Batman: Arkham Origins free.
Also swapped generic CPU cooler for CM Hyper 212 Evo.

You gonna do any benchmarks? I'd be curious as to what it's capable of.
 
Is that a mini atx? Don't forget to hook the power back up to the board.
 
I know, thanks Sid. I took the pic after I installed but before I reconnected everything. Did some more cable management.
I bumped BF3 up to ultra and its running well, but its a running a bit hot at 75 degrees, so I've taken it back down to high.

On the plus side, the new cooler is keeping the CPU at 43 or less...which is a massive improvement.

Might want a new case or something...airflow isn't great. And no, regular ATX.

660 non TI is back and forth with the 570. Its an interesting card and definitly nice for the price. As he said BF3 ultra not really a problem. Turn down one setting maybe 4x to 2x MSAA or HBAO to SSAO and you have a good framerate to record with.
 
Great card Veng!! Enjoy.

Not to criticize But the FTW dual fan model cost about same, could have gone with that EVGA 02G-P4-2663-KR GeForce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - Newegg.com instead of the reference one with the generic cooler, .....unless its also a dual fan card as well? 75 degrees is rather high..
 
You failed to include tax so.....mine was less. And I don't use Newegg anyways. :p
 
gotta crank up the fan speed to 65% and it should run fine.
