Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Review

Benchmarks: Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3

The GTX 660 looked sharp in Battlefield 3, averaging 51fps at 1920x1200, matching the HD 7870 and beating the 7850 by a convincing 21% margin, though it was 15% slower than the GTX 660 Ti.

Unsurprisingly, the GTX 660 made short work of Modern Warfare 3, producing a sweat-free 90fps at 1920x1200 and landing 3% ahead of the HD 7870, 11% ahead of the HD 7850 and 23% of the GTX 560 Ti, while placing 23% behind the GTX 660 Ti.
