In Game Performance

In almost every single case the GTX 660 both stock and Superclocked came in right with the HD 7870. Typically the every overclock was just enough to push it up over the top. In Battlefield 3 for example, that gave us an average of 55 and 57 FPS with the settings turned up. That means that even in one of today’s most demanding games the GTX 660 gets you near the sweet spot in FPS. We saw the same thing in both of our Crysis 2 benchmarks as well, they are just as demanding. In the AMD favoring Shogun 2 we did see the HD 7870 up a few more FPS over the GTX 660 results, but they still came in up near that sweet spot as well.

The difference between the stock and Superclocked versions once again is noticeable with at least a few FPS in almost every benchmark. Some like Dirt 3 show just over 8 FPS even.
