The 660 Ti Thread: Questions and Answers Here!

[thelostswede]

So is it worth poneying up €150 extra for the 660Ti vs the 560 Ti ? And does the MultiBeast OpenCL enabler work with the 660Ti ? (Only mentions the 670, 680 & 690)

Yes, the OpenCL enabler works, the reason the 660 Ti isn't included is because the most recent build of MultiBeast came out before the cards... doh!

Don't the Kepler GPUs run slowly on OS X ? As in due to GraphicsEnabler=No ?

Yeah kind of… My 670 FTW runs faster as my HD 5870, but slower than the 560ti of another user (in OSX 10.8).

In what? Don't use Cinebench as a comparison, as it doesn't work well in OS X.

If you want to benchmark 3D performance, try this http://unigine.com/products/heaven/
For OpenCL you could try this http://www.luxrender.net/wiki/LuxMark

Could you elaborate on the problems in Lion 10.7.4? A link maybe? I'm not switching yet coz my MBP can't run ML and I like my 2 machines to run the same system (for dev work etc).

Edit: ok I guess the answer's this: http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/55612-gtx680-works-os-x.html, guess I'll have to wait for 10.7.5

I've got the gigabyte oc card coming in the mail tomorrow. I'll try to post up my experiences and benchmarks when i get it installed over the weekend. Can't wait to try this out.

Could u also detail/make a guide on the installation process with OS X ? As if I'm installing from scratch after assembly ? Thanks
