This is it, NVIDIA's latest green, mean gaming machine; the GeForce GTX 660 Ti.

Facing an almost impossible task of following in the foot steps of the staggering GTX 690, the masterful GTX 680 and the excellent GTX 670, NVIDIA's fourth-rung card is up against some stiff competition - not to mention a wide-range of proven Radeons.

But you've read the reviews and you've seen the cards, so now it's time to have your say; what do you make of NVIDIA's latest, and, more importantly, will you be buying a GeForce GTX 660 Ti? Let us know in the comments below.

Hell no. I will however accept it if I win the EVGA competition.

I really want to, but I don't have the money :(

Nvidia was too busy pushing out 690 and 670 last time I was looking to upgrade in the mid-range segment, and I was desperately waiting for 660 push-out that only came these days, so I had no choice but to opt for their competitor's offerings. It might be due to TSMC not producing enough wafers on latest node, but that's a problem for NV and TSMC to solve, and certainly not us consumers. 660 seems a bit pricey at the moment but might drop to more justifiable price levels soon enough (competition is rather fierce at $250-350 price point) so I'll be looking forward to more compelling offerings in the mid-range with my next builds. I pay a lot of attention to noise and power consumption with my mid-range builds so I'm quite excited in regards to working with 660s and other latest and greatest at ~$250-300. NV still seems to have better designed products than AMD, and their OEMs seem to be offering better quality in general (my experience, not necessarily rule of thumb), but frankly, I'm no particular fan of either. All I want is great products at great prices. Don't we all? :)

Well, not at current prices, but that is kinda moot since I won't have any money until next month anyway. But by then the 660 non Ti won't be far away and there may have been price cuts on the 7800 series too. It's a wait and see for me. It would fit my needs very nicely if it was a few quid cheaper.

Naw, my GTX 460 is still doing the job.
