    a 660ti is different from a 660, it is basically a 670 with a lower memory buffer, for 100 bucks less. what mobo do you have? you may need to rma that.

    make sure you installed the chipset driver from the site. that is gonna cause a issue if it not up to date

    Got my new stuff!
    GTX 670 and a Corsair 850W
    Also I added 8 more gigs ram!

    Though I'm not sure why CPUID doesn't display the Memory of the card:

    Shouldn't there say 2GB Size and DDR5? Under memory

    On CPUID nope, maybe it does not recognize the latest tech or something...cause GPUZ works just fine from what I see :S

    cpu z is mainly for cpus, it is not great for gpus, it is meant for detailed cpu info and vague gpu info. is the issue gone though? the cpuz issue is no problem just a glitch
