Where did you get that GPU from?

Also, BF4 is a very CPU/GPU intensive game, have you over-clocked the CPU? That may be bottlenecking the GPU.

To be sure that the CPU is not bottlenecking the GPU, get MSI Afterburner and see if the GPU can reach 99% usage while playing BF4. If it doesn't get there, stays at 80% for example, the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU.

I'm afraid that card is indeed, fake.

If you do an image search of a GTX 660, you won't find a GPU as short as a GTX 650...



actually even the reference 660 have short PCB. only the reference cooler make the card longer. some AIB choose to use longer PCB for 660 but my 660 from leadtek (non reference) is quite short as well.

i live in croatia. when i bought this card it has said that this is point of view gtx 660 2 gb ddr5 bulk. And but someting is weird...my card is same like gtx 650 (http://www.futura-it.hr/media/4710918137764/gtx660.jpg). My gpu usage is 99% in all games. And my WEI of GPU is only 7.5. IS THIS FAKE GTX 660 OR NOT?

Your card has the exact specs of a 2gb GTX 650 Ti... it is not a GTX 660.

No your gpu is not fake. The specs match. if you want to really be sure, take of the cooler and read the label on the gpu chip.

Also if you look here :http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2013/11/27/ba...
you will see your results are consistent. A gtx 660 cant play bf4 on ultra at 1080p well.

Derza10 is right, your GPU is not a GTX 660.

Ouch looks like they flashed the bios to make it looks like a 660.... The only way to be sure is to look at the chip under the heatsink. I hope u can return it to where u bought it from.

I would tell them its not a 660 and if they say it is, just tell them to check the name on the chip.

I'd try to return it. Seems like a pretty shady shop though wouldn't hurt to try to get your money back.

Never mind my answer, I compared your spec image with Nvidia's official specs and they do match.

Besides, select High graphics for BF4, there's barely any difference between high and ultra, despite the huge FPS differences.

Your GPU is a GTX 660 :)

yup the spec is matching GTX 650 Ti. GTX660 and GTX650 Ti is based on the same chip (GK106) but the from the gpu-z reading the spec is clearly matching GTX650 Ti. idk now why POV called it as GTX660.

How much did you pay for your GPU?
Also, watch your language. We know you're upset, but still.
A real 660 chip will look like the image on the right:

whereas a 650Ti chip looks like the one here:
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/1188/geforce-gtx-650-t...

Notice the 660 is GK106-400-A1 and 650Ti is GK106-220-A1.

I'm surprised though. Flashing GPU bios to change the card name is fraud.

i dont want to mess up with this..i paid for it 250 $. That means my gpu isnt a real gtx 660, right?

If it says GK106-220-A1, no, it's not. Definitely not.
I'd kill a guy anyway if he gave me a 660 for $250.
That's the price of the GTX760 card. Unless, of course, your country inflates prices.

200 missing shaders points to a lower card and explains the poor performance relative to the label.

Clocks are also lower than the 660.
