The Guru of 3D posted a review on the MSI GeForce GTX 660 HAWK

The MSI GeForce GTX 660 HAWK graphics card has been released and we are ready with a review, a bit of a surprize really as the HAWK series alwyas have been targeted at the more enthusiast audience. Well truth be told, albeit the GeForce GTX 660 really is a nice mid-range graphics card, thus HAWK makeover certainly brings something special to the table.

An all customized PCB, TwinFrozr IV cooler, military class components and to top it off, a very high factory overclock that places this product smack down in the middle of GeForce GTX 660 Ti performance. The HAWK edition also comes with the V-Check points that allow voltage measurement points for enthusiasts wanting accurate voltage readings via multi-meter and even an LN2 secondary BIOS. Not bad for a 175 EUR card eh ?

MSI figured, why not bring a GeForce GTX 660 towards GTX 660 Ti performance ? And so they did, the new flagship HAWK GeForce GTX 660 is a mid-range card series using the TwinFrozr IV cooler, with its three slots the card is completely silent and runs ridiculously cool. We received SKU model 660HAWk which comes factory overclocked, our model comes with with a core clock frequency set at 1085 and a boost frequency of 1150 MHz and the memory at 6 Gbps. Regardless, this to date makes it amongst the fastest GTX 660 we have tested and as such for just over 175 EUR the product beats the GeForce GTX 660 Ti.
