ASUS Graphic Cards GTX660-DC2O-2GD5

ASUS Graphic Cards GTX660-DC2O-2GD5 - Best Price

Fantastic Card at a Great Price
I own two of these bad boys and run them in SLI with a i7-2600k. Almost every game I've tried, I've been able to max out settings on my 24" monitor at 1920x1200. The heatsink / fan setup on this card is far superior to any of the stock or near stock cooling systems on other brands. I don't see my cards going over 55 C when playing Planetside 2 or Battlefield 3. And although they aren't completely silent, they are far quieter than my old GTX 480 or even older HD 5850.

I recommend this card to EVERYONE! Seriously, I think my friends and family are getting annoyed at me for it.

My only grip with the card would be that it stands 1/2 inch or so taller than other cards because of the cooling pipes. If it was shorter, I would love to put one of these things in my home theater PC but my HTPC chassis isn't tall enough. If you don't have 1-2 inches of depth to spare in your chassis, this may not work for you.

Customer review : The GPU to get
Pros: This card is a beast. Anything I have thrown at it, this card has completely blown away.

Powerful:
I have played BF3, Skyrim, GTA4, AC3, Saints Row: The Third, Civ V, and many other games all at max graphic settings (including AA). The only game that gave it pause was Metro 2033 which required me to turn down the AA a little. Best of all I get 60 FPS most of the time in all of these games. Every time I've had FPS drops it has been due to my CPU (see other thoughts).

Cool:
This GPU idles at a nice 30-35, and under heavy load it will reach about 55; never seen it go past that even after 5+ hours of BF3.

Quiet:
The cooler is completely silent, even under load I can't hear it.

Drivers:
NVidia has extremely good drivers for their cards; I've yet to have any problems with them what so ever. I've used the control panel to calibrate my monitors, and control some settings for certain games. But aside from update...
