Want to buy 660ti but...

[mamutarka]

Here is what's bothering me..I have msi 560ti and I want to buy msi 660ti, 660ti has lower tdp than 560ti so it should fit fine on my corsair vx450?

And I have motherboard with pci express 2.0, will I loose something if I dont have 3.0?

Thanks!

i5 750@4GHz
P55-usb3
8gb corsair vengeance
560ti tfII
VX450

Nah, there is barely any difference between each PCIe edition. Unless you're using several cards in SLi/Crossfire.

Thanks! And what about power supply, if I didn't had any problems with 560ti, I shouldn't with 660ti too?

Should run fine if your GTX560 Ti is running smoothly on that PSU, Make sure you have enough amps on your PSU's 12v rail

Don't wry about the PCI-E 2.0 vs 3.0....barely a difference right now

If you read the reviews. the 660ti turns out to be very power-limited, It can't go above 150 watts even with tests like Furmark, unlike 560 that can reach in excess of 200-250 watts when overclocked.

Yes, thats why I ask, I couldn't believe that
