Wow finally getting in the right price range now that it's completely irrelevant!
Well this has actually been "irrelevant" since this Gaming Series came out for $210; by that point 7870's deal'd well below $170. Heck when the GTX660 came in the market Sept 2012, the 7870 had reigned un-contested for 7mo. When W1zzard reviewed this Gaming Series in Sept 23rd, 2013 (a year after the original release GK106) he gave it eight point 7(Ben's filter)... I felt that was super charitable! This is a really generic cooler mustering only two heat pipes, while not called quiet, and Elpida memory that wasn't great for OC'n as other GTX660's. And these GK106 where the non-efficient Keplers being 16% less efficient, less bandwidth, and was on a 5% larger die. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_660_Gaming/
Working a $30 rebate and the 10% Visa Checkout (just use it on any other purchase) this is a ludicrous purchase today.

For $6 you have a card that has no issue staying out infront of this GTX 660 Gaming.
Thank you!
