Posted on: 09/23/2012 07:56 PM Thanks for the great review. A really impressive piece of hardware and Nvidia is finally getting the power consumption in place. Although it would be nice to see how the 660GTX handles Batman Arkham games with physx enabled. Maybe you can add it to the review if you have time.
