GeForce GTX 660 Golden Sample Edition Game Requirement Analysis

GeForce GTX 660 Golden Sample Edition is a special edition of GeForce GTX 660.
The new features include overclocking whilst the base-clock was increased from 980MHz to 1046MHz and the boost clock can now reach 1072MHz, instead of 1006MHz. The operating memory clock was increased to 1527MHz, which doesn't necessarily boost its performance.
The overclocking is significant and the performance boost is around 3% when compared to the standard GeForce GTX 660.
