7950 generally does better than GTX660 with new Catalyst Beta drivers, and you can overclock the bejesus out of them. Also, if you go beyond 2 megapixel (triple screen or super-hi-res monitor), the extra memory pays off. 660 does have lower power draw.
#2 - Agreed this 7950 is a true enthusiast card with bandwidth and OC’n to make it come alive. A card like this can deliver at the 2650x.
If you're more a install and enjoy it person... And aspire more worthy performance at 1920x the GTX660Ti is an agreeable path for most with any normal 500W PSU. Really the logical move for those who are look for a move from say a GTX460.
