Graphics Performance
The GeForce GTX 660 Ti scores 4,415 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Kepler (2012−2018) architecture (codename: GK104), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 1344 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 112 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 24 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 2.634 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 980 MHz from a base of 915 MHz.
