Overview
GeForce GTX 660M is a Fast-Middle-Class Mobile Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Kepler Architecture.
Architecture
The Kepler Architecture was NVIDIA's big step to power efficiency. Each Stream Multiprocessor (SMX) now hosts 192 Shader Processing Units - against the 48 of older Fermi Architecture, and has been redesigned being now clocked at the same speed of the Central Unit. This means they are more energy efficient and will consequently lead to cooler operating temperatures. However, it also means they are weaker. It can be said that one Fermi SMX is as fast as 2 Kepler SMXs.
Additionally, and not available in all GPUs, Kepler also introduced the Boost Clock Feature. The Boost Clock is an even higher Clock Speed activated when in gaming mode and becomes the effective speed of the GPU.
GPU
It equips a GPU Codenamed GK107-N13E-GE-A2 which has 2 Stream Multiprocessors activated and thus offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 32 TMUs and 16 ROPs. The Central Unit is initially clocked at 835MHz and goes up to 950MHz, in Turbo Mode.
Memory
The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is exaggerated and no way benefits the GPU. The Memory Clock Operates at 1000MHz.
Features
DirectX 11.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for SLI, Kepler Boost, Optimus, CUDA, OpenCL, DirectCompute, 3D Vision Surround, PhysX, Realtime Raytracing and other technologies
Power Consumption
With a rated board TDP of 45W, it is suited for average sized laptops.
Performance
Gaming benchmarks indicate its performance is not too far from the desktop GeForce GTX 650.
System Suggestions
We recommend a decent processor (Intel Core i5 Mobile) and 8GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GTX 660M.

MSI GE70 0ND; 17,3" fullHD screen; 2,7kg weight; looks really awesome
link here
Looks very nice ;)
now I'm searching for a review because cooling might be ONLY weak spot…
Hmmm, it seems everybody just lists it's specs and calls it a review :D
review's nowhere since it's really new (perhaps "pre-sale"), even official MSI website doesn't have it on…
*but it's already listed on many wb stores…
figured out - release in my country is 26-27. 6. 2012
Very soon then ;)
*cooling works great if "turboocooling" button is on:)
I still have about 2,5 months to finally decide which notebook to get for about 1000€ (without tax) budget:-D
Well that looks like a great candidate ;)
I found on the college forums that having "bigger" screen is really useful in lessons, so I'm thinking of getting 17,3" instead of 15,6":)
well that depends. if ur a software guy…lower screen size is best! if ur a designer then u would need a 17" :)
i am an civil engineer student n 15" suits for my CAD work :)
I wanna make webdesign, audio/video mastering and editing, 3DSmax modelling and Photoshop texturing…so designer:)
the more time u take…more gadget comes out, makes u consider other option…by the time u decide, some other manufacture wil come up with a better rigs for the same price tag…again u hv to wait :P
happen to me, true story :D:D
true story buddy; that's why I'm searching thoroughly:-D
this looks good!: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G55VW/#overview
thats my lil beast :D
I've got its big bro, the 75vw.
2 drive bays for me!
Twins!
It opens pretty weird… :S
it has stealth fighter jet look…thats cos of the offset given in the back for the cooling vents:) its a bit different from all the other laptops…but once u get used to it…u feel other laptops opens weird :P
:D :D
can i play battlefield 3 on high settings with this GFX?
Singleplayer, yes :) For multiplayer, I'd suggest you stick with medium settings to get better FPS ;)
it performs like GTX 570M!!:

perhaps there might be a reason to give 660m only 128bit bus…
It does…pretty close :)
The reason is cheaper manufacturing cost lol
and it helps ATI because they have lower mem. freq. but higher bus width so finally it's similar…
awesome rig! (i7-3610QM, 1350 dollars): http://www.czc.cz/lenovo-ideapad-y580-metal-gray/109693/produkt
three months from now I'll get some notebook with this gfx card:)
i was considering the y580 too….but read the reviews that it comes out with gt650m not the gtx660m(still a rumor i guess,not sure)
I have read only "pre-reviews" with not exact config and best thing on it is that gtx660m makes about 15°C lower temps and uses less power than gtx560m:)
no way bro! i hv asus g55vw n my friend has g74sx….the temp of my gpu(660m) goes to 68C n my friends(560m) goes to 72C..both hv huge dual exhaust.. i am pretty sure its not 15C cooler:P
might be, but still it's 4°C less:)
yup 4C less but thats not much :) but the battery consumption is pretty less
lucky you guys,on my old toshiba laptop, when playing fb games up to 95 degrees >.<
but you have beast desktop rig now, so don't complain:)
yup… this comes in asus g55vw n g75vw! its not that bad! could max out batman arkhamcity
It is awesome!
It maxed out Batman Arkham city at tht Resolution of urz ? or Lowered ?
Thx…
yep these ones are likely to max games like The Witcher 2 or NFS: The Run !:)
It might max out BAC but not the Witcher II. Not even the GTX 680M can. That game is really tough.
yea the gtx660m maxed out in 1080p with around 30fps…lowest goes to 25 but i guess playable. not yet tried out other games cos of exams:(
Maxed what out buddy?
@Pip i Think he was replying to me….
@mukunthg Thx for confirming :)
if I say "max" I mean without AA, AF, Ubersampling and bull**it like this which is absolutely useless when playing on smaller screen with full-hd res.:)
128bit memory bus only?…
