Performance-wise, it’s average, it’s not better than the cards from other manufacturers and at this price bracket pretty much every card does the same amount of number crunching so it comes down to which card is the cheapest. Maxwell’s flagship, the GTX 980 was recently launched and with that there are price cuts expected throughout NVIDIA’s Kepler lineup which will make alternatives like the GTX 660 much more afford-able and it’d even make for a sensible purchase compared to the 750 Ti and the 750.
At peak loads we saw that the card heated up all the way to 65 degrees Celsius which is comparable to the 60 degrees Celsius which we saw on the 750 Ti and that SKU had two fans and one heat pipe. These temperatures were obtained with as little incidental airflow as we could manage.
