Graphics card benchmarks

Sawsheezle and I purchased the same graphics card (and I mean exact same graphics card) back in August. His has served him well but he was thinking of selling it. RyDub, on the other hand, was thinking of possibly upgrading in a couple months. Sawsheezle made the proposition of a "try and buy" (not to be confused with the vastly different "hang and bang"). RyDub would pay $20 (basically shipping) to test out the card and see if he then wanted to purchase it in a couple months. This was very intriguing to RyDub so he accepted. The card came in the mail today so of course I ran some benchmarks both before and after installing the card. Here are the results:

Single 660 ti Heaven benchmark:

Dual 660 ti Heaven benchmark:

Single 660 ti Valley benchmark:

Dual 660 ti Valley benchmark:


As you can see, frame rates almost doubled. This was better than I expected. I only expected a 75% performance increase, at best. What I got was about an 87% increase in performance. Not bad. Now to make Sawsheezle an offer he can not refuse...

  1. Way too late to comment on this, but that is great. 87% is unreal. Enjoy the card... I did something bad and ordered a new one already.

  2. I figured as much since you took my offer, haha.
