In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3-way SLI are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Twin Frozr OC Edition SLI.
The GTX 660 has a 118 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 660 Ti, but the GTX 660 Ti has 176 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 660. As a result, the GTX 660 Ti exhibits a 142.1 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 660. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 660 has a 118 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 660 Ti, but the GTX 660 Ti has 24 more Render Output Units than the GTX 660. As a result, the GTX 660 Ti exhibits a 16.3 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GTX 660. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 660 was released less than a year after the GTX 660 Ti, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GTX 660 Ti has 2048 MB more video memory than the GTX 660, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 660 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 660 Ti has 144.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 660, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 660 Ti is massively better than the GTX 660.
The GeForce GTX 660 Twin Frozr OC Edition SLI has 1920 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3-way SLI has 4032. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 660 is 2108 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 660 Ti is 3951. The GTX 660 Ti having 1843 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 660 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 660.
The GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3-way SLI requires 450 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GTX 660.

| Mini Review | The SLI setup of GeForce GTX 660 Twin Frozr OC Edition. | GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3-way SLI is a solution of three GeForce GTX 660 Ti put together using NVIDIA'S SLI technology. Check the page of GeForce GTX 660 Ti to know more about its chip. As usual, SLI relies a lot on proper driver support and may suffer from micro-stuttering in lower frame rates (below 30). Benchmarks indicate the performance is overall, is up to X% better than a single GeForce GTX 660 Ti performing by itself but at times (depending whether or not the 3D game supports SLI or in the graphics driver) it performed worse than a single GeForce GTX 660 Ti. Expect this combination to draw up to 450 Watt though the average power consumption should be slightly lower. Even the most demanding games will run at the highest settings. | |||
