Gigabyte GA-660 - Card Specs
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Representative of what
you can expect from an OEM producing a regular TNT2, the Gigabyte GA-660 is a perfect
example of a bare bones card. Offering nothing more than the performance of the
TNT2, the board gets the job done, and that's about it. The use of the same 7ns
Samsung memory ASUS used kept the highest memory clock achieved on the GA-660 down to
160MHz, however the heatsink on the back of the card had no problems keep the core cool at
up to 175MHz, even after hours of use. At 180MHz core the board tended to grow
unstable after a few runs through Quake 2. An interesting feature of the board is a jumper that allows it to be clocked at 156/156MHz, a setting that both Gigabyte and AnandTech can confirm runs quite well on the GA-660. Pros: Cheap, well cooled core courtesy of rear heatsink Cons: Not widely available, memory not as overclockable as the competition, driver support not as great as the competition |
