Asus GTX 660 Ti Direct CU II TOP Review

Unigine provides an interesting way to test hardware. It can be easily adapted to various projects due to its elaborated software design and flexible toolset. A lot of their customers claim that they have never seen such extremely-effective code, which is so easy to understand.

Heaven Benchmark is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on advanced Unigine engine from Unigine Corp. It reveals the enchanting magic of floating islands with a tiny village hidden in the cloudy skies. Interactive mode provides emerging experience of exploring the intricate world of steampunk.

Efficient and well-architected framework makes Unigine highly scalable:

  • Multiple API (DirectX 9 / DirectX 10 / DirectX 11 / OpenGL) render
  • Cross-platform: MS Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) / Linux
  • Full support of 32bit and 64bit systems
  • Multicore CPU support
  • Little / big endian support (ready for game consoles)
  • Powerful C++ API
  • Comprehensive performance profiling system
  • Flexible XML-based data structures

We use the following settings: 1920×1080 resolution. Anti Aliasing off. Anisotrophy 4, Tessellation normal. Shaders High. Stereo 3D disabled. API: Direct X 11.

The Asus GTX660 Ti Direct CU II TOP manages to match two of the XFX HD7770 Black Edition cards in Crossfire. Additionally the Asus card is 1 frame per second quicker than the overclocked Sapphire HD7950 Vapor X, which is impressive.

  1. well thats quite impressive, im still waiting for the true 460/560 replacement, im not spending this amount on a video card. what am I waiting for the 650?

  2. ASUS make some great cards. the price is good, but I agree, I wish nvidia would get out a 180 quid card like the older 460, just updated.

  3. Another great card, hard to go wrong now with anything in these ranges. Surprised how well it did in 3dmark 11, thats a hell of a score for a sub £300 GPU.

  4. Loving the ASUS GTX660 akshun, come on KG time to give it away COMPETITION!
