When you buy a used card, receive it, get it installed, and benchmark it... then this. It is not a good sign. Just so happens I can return it. Waiting for a response.

you actively went out to buy a gtx660 ?

how much did you pay? and what games do you play?

probably shipping would be more then the card
 
13 year old cards so failures are kind of expected if you're going the used route. That's well within the window where you'll start to see cap failures among other things.

I didn't go out a buy it. It was shipped. Had a return policy. It wasn't for games. It was for HWBot competition event.

Why I don't buy old retro gear without a return / DOA warranty. This card wasn't reported tested in the description. But I'm still out a GTX 660 for HWBot competition event. Search continues.
