Anandtech have a review of the GTX 660 and GTX 650,
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Review: GK106 Fills Out The Kepler Family by Ryan Smith.
For here I would expect the performance of the GTX660 to be ~75% of the GTX660Ti. In terms of performance per initial outlay ($/£/Euro...) that's almost spot on the same as a GTX660Ti (~76% of the cost). Running costs should also be less, possibly quite reasonable in comparison (say around 90% as efficient in terms of performance/watt), though it's unlikely that any will quite match the GTX660Ti. The range of GTX660 cards will probably see performances of some models reach 85% of a reference GTX660Ti.
Voltages seem to be fixed on the GTX660's, but with some manufacturer variety; 1.175v, 1.162v.
As with the GT640 the GTX650 has no boost clock, so your stuck with whatever ships, be that reference or some manufacturer specific/bespoke setting. The reference model should be around 20% faster than a GT640 for here.
With only 384 shaders your not going to get much performance out of this, but in terms of performance per outlay your talking around 86% of a GTX660Ti, which is quite reasonable for a low end card.
To me it appears that there is still a sizable performance gap between the GTX660 and the GTX650. Hopefully a GTX650Ti will arrive to complete the range; an on the shelf GK106 with 4 SM's would be sweet, rather than some dodgy hobbled oem version with 3 SM's and DDR3 ;P

So far all the cards I have seen (both GTX660 and GTX650) require one 6-pin PCIE power connector.
5years ago some motherboards with 4 PCIE slots that could support 4 x 75W.
It seems odd that they now feel the need to have a 6-pin power connector on a 64W card (GTX650), especially when you can't up the Voltage and when the GTX660 presumes it can draw up to 75W from the slot to support it's 140W TDP.

Most quality designed motherboards still support 75W PCIE, however, it is a good practice not to draw such power through motherboard, but from PSU directly. Also, even though GTX650 is a 64W card, most of the people would like to try some overclocking, which would for sure be poor and unstable if relied only upon a power from a motherboard.

I am looking at some GTX660's as replacements for GTX560Ti's. Not intended for use here. I already have a couple of factory OC'ed GTX670's that I use specifically for GPUgrid.
They should give a bit of a performance boost while reducing power consumption.

I will probably get a GTX 660 or 650 to replace a GT 240 in a small form-factor pc and try it out for GPUGrid. Will see how soon though maybe a couple weeks. |

Ok I ordered the EVGA GTX 650 superclocked version, 1202MHz and same price as the others, plus a $10 mail-in rebate. plus it's SO CUTE! :D |
