Metro 2033
Metro 2033 is a slightly older first-person shooter, which continues to bring even the toughest of graphics cards to their knees. The game has a lot of DX11 eye-candy, which really puts a strain on any GPU. All DX11 features were enabled for the benchmark and we used the “Tower” level for our test.

 

 

 


Batman: Arkham City
A sequel to Arkham Asylum, Arkham City features a more open-world style of gameplay as well as DX11 elements. For this test, we disabled Nvidia's PhysX, since it would be unfair to AMD’s cards. Everything else was maxed out.

 

 

 


Verdict and Price in India
ZOTAC has priced its 660 Ti cards at Rs.24,000 for the standard edition and Rs.26,000 for the AMP! Edition. These are still the MRPs, so the actual street price should be quite a bit lower. This is not a bad launch price considering it eats the HD 7950 for breakfast and costs less. We believe the frame rates should not drop by much even with the standard edition of the card and you should be able to overlclock it to achieve the frame rates of the AMP! Edition. Nvidia has another winner on its hands with the GTX 660 Ti and with performance like this, you really don’t need a 30K-plus card if you’re gaming at or below 1920 x 1080. If you’re  shopping in the 20-25K price range, then look no further, the GTX 660 Ti offers very good bang for buck and ZOTAC’s offering is really hard to beat considering the card's miniature design and game bundle.

How We Test

The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.

Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.


Features
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.

Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.

Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.

Value
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category. 

There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.

What do the ratings mean?

Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
