NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M

The GeForce GTX 660M is a GPU from NVIDIA released in 2012. This chip has a bad gaming score with 223 points in our GPU benchmark.

The GeForce GTX 660M has 2 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 62 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 bits. When choosing a GPU, plan ahead and select a model with enough memory for your needs. High resolutions such as 4K require significantly more memory than 1080p as there is more data to display on the screen.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce GTX 660M GPU core runs at a frequency of 950 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 950 MHz. The clock runs at a speed called the clock speed. It dictates the number of updates per second that the GPU can process. Overclocking a chip, which means increasing the clock speed will improve the performance. However, thermals and power efficiency may be diminished.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce GTX 660M supports up to DirectX 11.2. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.5 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 50 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
