hi
i seen the comparison of some GPU here AnandTech - The GeForce GTX 660 Ti Review, Feat. EVGA, Zotac, and Gigabyte and noticed some difference

ROPs
Shader Clock
Memory Bus Width


  • ROPs, what does mean?
  • The GTX 680,670, 660ti Not have Shader Clock, what does mean? is necessary?
  • The Memory Bus Width make more performance difference?, if 320-bit memory bus width utilize fully?

Finally 560ti, 570, 660ti which one is best?

Of course the 660Ti among the three you have mentioned. Regarding other queries:-

1) Where have got the info that 6xx cards not have ROPs? Check again. FI, number of stream processors/shaders being constant, more ROP means more performance.

2) In Fermi cards, shader clocks generally used to run at twice the speed of core clock. For AMD cards and 6xx cards, core clock and shader clocks are same.

3) Depends on the architecture.

Sorry Corrected.

Actually me and my friend plan to purchase GTX 560ti, but i asked him to purchase first , i test the performance using Blender 3D its heated up to 57' Celsius, and the cabin getting too hot , so i stop my plan to purchase that and waited for price drop of GTX 570. but now i plan to purchase GTX 660ti, better than 570 card.

57C is ice cool as far as GPU temperature is concerned. But 660Ti is a better card anyday.

And cabinet getting too hot, may be due to improper air circulation. Post the following:-

Which cabinet do you have?
No. of fans?
Fan config?
System config?
CPU Temps under load?

Among all of the listed GPUs, 660ti is the best.
BTW, what is your max budget for GPU?

The 660Ti will just fit budget. Try to bargain if necessary. The price would be worth it :)
You would get a copy of Borderlands 2(Steam) too.

i discused about choosing GPU for blender in developer, they suggest 5XX series is best, 6XX series good for gaming so i purchased Asus GTX 560ti DCU II.
what is the safest maximum temperature in ideal and load.

MY Cabin is cooler master Elite 310, have 120mm fan in front, back and side.

Those complaining about temperatures should know that I ran the infamous GeForce FX 5800 Ultra at 68 degrees celsius idle and 88-90 degrees on load for years on end........The cooler gave but the card itself survives still ;)

MSI gives you best VFM as its OC version price are comparable to other's stock versions.
Zotac has 5 years warranty while others has 3
Asus has best build quality.

Choice is yours. I would suggest you for MSI as performance matters first and MSI has power edition 660ti
