Seasonic S12II 520 can easily power GTX660ti up.
You can even add other extensions.

Can you post a pic of the inside of the cabby? I would recommend a roomy cabinet actually for such cards. You might want to check out Zotac's GTX660 , because its got small form factor .

Which cabinet are you using? Tall us the model number along with the manufacturer name. It would be enough. I don't think there is further need to post the picture.

depends on the model of the GTX 660 Ti you are going to get - here's a comparision between Amp and power Ed. :

if you are getting something like Zotac GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB amp! then you are all prepared with the cabinet you have.

^^ Is that a... chassis? :shock:
Get it changed with something like:
NZXT Source 210 @2.4K (best choice)
or
CoolerMaster Elite 430 @3.2K (have no cable management feature)
or
Corsair 400R @4.5K (budget need to be high)

Managing Cables in Cooler Master 430 is an art and when it's done, you can't stop smiling :)

Dude, get a new cabinet whatever you wish . But DON'T put GTX 660 Ti in that crappy plastic box.

@ d6bmg: lol. The same question popped into my mind !!
Looks like snakes in a pit.
I doubt any cable management is possible there.
@OP : Change the case as d6bmg says.

so i have decided to change my cabinet i will be buying probably in 2 months so..which cabinet?? that i will decide later and may be create a new thread later..
theres a new prob now..today a strange thing happened..my fps suddenly droped.. luckily i had opened fraps so i noticed it..i was playin max payne 3..
at full setting 720p..i was getting around 50fps..than suddenly after an hour or so it droped to 5 to 7..yest i did 2 things i ungraded my drivers..
and i had taken my pc to connect my tv which is 1 floor below my room..this has never happend before..i have played games on full setting even longer than this..
so wat can be the reason..??

Could be due to overheating. Did you measure the CPU & GPU temperature at that time? If you did please do share.

Aug 20, 2012 at 10:41 PM
If this thing happens again than i will measure the temp of gpu and cpu and let u guys knw abt it..till that let it be..
by the way plsz suggest a gud tried and tested temperature monitoring software..

Use Hwmonitor.
MSI Afterburner is useful to monitor GPU temperature .

if you buy the GTX 660 Ti before cabinet upgrade then Zotac GTX 660 Ti Amp is what you should get and FPS drop from 50 to 5-7 !!! you don't need any FRAPS type app to measure this - your gameply experience ( will lag/stuter like hell ) is enough to tell this .. so did the game lagged when you saw 5-7 fps ?? this happens most probably due to cpu overheat anyway.

If this thing happens again than i will measure the temp of gpu and cpu and let u guys knw abt it..till that let it be..

use HWinfo ..

As everyone said, that could be because of High temps. Looking at the cabinet/cable management :shock: anyone call tell that your card/cpu are not getting enough air-flow.

@topgear..obviously it lagged very much..what happened was max payne got shot..so i thought it was for the effects so i waited..
but after sometime it dint get proper so restarted the pc and evrythin got normal..btw when i play max payne 3 or any other demanding game..
what happens is my fps vary a lot..sometimes it is in 30's to sometimes it is in 40's or 50's..is it normal??..or it shld not vary more than say 10 or 20 may be..

Wikipedia : The frame rate within games varies considerably depending upon what is currently happening at a given moment.

The Fps may be in 50's in some situations and 20s to 30s in some intense situations like close quarter battles, explosions, detailed environment, lightning effects, anti-aliasing and tesellation etc etc

Sadly, flipkart has become a highly overpriced site for past 2-3 months. Not competitive at all, where price is higher than the local market by 1-6K.

I would take that with a pinch of salt ;-)
