[oakcatton]

I'm going to buy a gtx 660(non ti), i'm on a budget of £170-£180 or less, and i have been looking at cards from gigabyte, msi, evga etc... but just don't know! Please help

Pc specs :
CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.20GHZ
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3
RAM - 4GB Kingston DDR3 1333Mhz

Gigabyte .. its my opinion.

Okey thanks. Do you know if it is easy to overclock the gigabyte card?

 

[emperor piehead]

i would get msi there twin frozer coolers are great for overclocking

MSI twin frozr :

Or asus direct cu ii which is the best : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-DirectCU-Graphics-DisplayPort-Surround/dp/B0098VKIRC/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1354391405&sr=1-3

But over the budget.

 

[oakcatton]

How much performance difference is there(in performance and temperature) inbetween the msi twin frozr vs asus direct cu II ?

Gigabyte GTX 660 Windforce OC or ASUS gtx 660 DCUII both card are good

For me it's like this :

1º Asus DCUII, 2º MSI TF, 3º GIGABYTE WF

It depends in your budget, but either the asus or msi will be the best.

 

[oakcatton]

Which is better for oc? Msi or gigabyte?
