Same as mine (although I didn't buy mine until 2014).

The only downside: I know absolutely nothing about GPU programming, so I ordered Barlas, Gerassimos: Multicore and GPU Programming: An Integrated Approach[^], scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I have discovered that the GTX660ti is too old to run a few of the code samples in the book. Either, I will have to study those few examples as theory only, or I must buy a new graphics card.

I guess that I will do the examples that runs on the GTX660ti first, and then decide if it fascinates me enough to justify another expense. 67 British pounds for the book, plus shipping, is certainly in the upper range for books I buy just out of curiosity, not out of any sort of 'need'.
