Asus GTX660 - GTX660-DC2-2GD5 - v quiet
Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2012 9:05 am
Just to report that I replaced a Gainward GTX560TI Phantom card with the Asus GTX660 (the most basic model) and it is virtually silent in the case and certainly quieter than the Gainward.
I just mention it for anyone who is looking for a modest v quiet Nvidia card.
My system is: CPU 2700K; BeQuiet Dark Rock Advanced; Asus P8Z68 Deluxe/GEN3; 32Gb Crucial DDR memory (CT2KIT102464BA1339); Crucial 256Gb SSD, Intel X25-M G2 160Gb SSD; x2 WD Velociraptors 300Gb SATA hdds; an Asus GTX660 (GTX660-DC2-2GD5); Asus Xonar Esssence STX soundcard. x2 Nexus case fans in a Nexus Prominent 5 case.
I use the system for photoshop and digital painting, not gaming.
