This should give you an idea i tryed to make them as accurate as possible to the settings in the OC

7850 still does a better jobs with pixels and GB per seconds so yes indeed you might look into that but mind you trying to push an already Oc card will result in fail but im sure you will be ok with it just as is

Radeon cards seem to over clock better from what I've seen in the past and can be pushed a bit harder.

uhmm for the record that card is atleast 5 years old and your complaining it just burnt out consider yourself lucky

with how much RMA is on hardware you can't point the finger at anyone and besides the chart states which is faster which is the 7850 because the memory bandwith rate is alot higher meaning more data is being reported and the pixel fill rate is higher as well it beats the 660 in the categories you would look at the most

Also an HD 5670 and an HD 6750 gave me problems, and they aren't 5 years old cards... The HD 5670 never showed me something on the display and the HD 6750 made the system reboot every time I launched a heavy graphics game.

Personally I'd buy the GTX 660 OC, but the HD 7850 seems to be a good card too... I hope that AMD HD 7000 series is much better than the previous ones...

In reviews the GTX 660 is a little faster than the HD 7850, but the difference seems to be minimal... The 2 cards should have - more or less - the same performance level...

Where did you see that review?
It gets confusing. Im still debating on what my next card will be, but I believe the 78 and 79 series are compared with 680's, and 690's.

GeForce GTX 660 2GB - Performance Analysis and Conclusion | bit-tech.net

the GTX 680 is faster than the HD 7970, and the GTX 690 is faster than the 7990...
The AMD HD 7800 series GPUs are compared with the GTX 670 (and sometimes with the GTX 660 Ti if superclocked), and the HD 7900 series GPUs are compared with the GTX 680.

The GTX 690 (dual GTX 680) and the GTX TITAN (single GK110) are compared with the small number of editions of the HD 7990 (dual HD 7970): for example, the Powercolor Devil 13 or the Asus Ares II...

You're very lucky :p

With Nvidia cards I never had an issue...

Your NVIDIA card supports PCIE 3.0 but your mobo looks like it only supports PCIE 2.0. Now, if I read that correctly, you might have some issues or you might not get the throughput that you expected. Maybe I read it wrong so please confirm my suspicions.

No difference whatsoever. PCIE 3.0 is a waste of time right now. You will not see any difference if you use a 3.0 card on a 3.0 mobo, or if you use a 3.0 card on a 2.0 motherboard.

Hi Erick,

That is a well know fact but thank you for reminding me because it does sound like I was indicating that he might experience a slowdown. Unfortunately, I'm getting lazy in my old age and, quite frankly, I'm tired of writing book responses and getting one-liners in return. So, this time, I'll simply say to the OP "Do your homework and research the GTX 660 thoroughly because there are many unhappy campers out there who tried to unsuccessfully install it in a PCIe 3.0 hardware slot and then tried to unsuccessfully install it in a PCIe 2.0 hardware slot. From my research, these failed installations occurred mostly on Gigabyte and ASRock motherboards of various model numbers. And, when you throw in your intention to overclock, I'm guessing I'll be reading about you woes as well... but hopefully not!" Good luck...
