Free Borderlands 2 with EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti in SA: pricing

Nvidia recently launched their newest entry in the 600 series of video-processing hardware, the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, and South African computer retailer AxizWorkgroup have provided pricing for the new card.

R3,499 (RRP) gets you the EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti, plus Gearbox’s upcoming FPS/RPG sequel Borderlands 2 thrown into the mix.

Gearbox and Nvidia recently joined hands to show off the snazzy visual effects of Borderlands 2 when enhanced with a GeForce GTX 660 Ti; so bundling the two together is a fitting combo.

Designed primarily for gamers and enthusiasts, the GTX 660 Ti is based on the same Kepler architecture as the chipsets powering the previously-released cards in the 600 series: the single-GPU GTX 670 and GTX 680, and the dual-GPU GTX 690.

The GTX 660 Ti will support DirectX 11 rendering, which lets games take advantage of visual features such as tessellation. It will also use PhysX on-board physics processing.

Kepler-specific features, such as temporal anti-aliasing (TXAA), a combination of hardware-based Morphological Anti-Aliasing (or MSAA) and Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing (FXAA), and GPU Boost – which dynamically increases the card’s clock speed if the thermal and electrical headroom exist – are supported as well.
