Agreed, as I just did ;P
Still, a good deal for those with CUDA dependant programs. Theyre not very far apart in preformance.

I believe so, yes. But you might see things tighten up with Steam for Linux being released in a few months.

The 660 and 7870 average out to be almost identical performance with variation between games and scaling similarly on resolutions above 1920x1200.

192 bit, no thanks. Data path widths are essential for speed. 256 bit or higher for this monkey.

Faster, cooler and quieter but not worth the upgrade unless you can sell your 480 for $125+ imo.

What card are you coming from? The 6xx's already have a crazy memory clock, so 192bit bus really isnt a bottleneck if you're used to last gen's 256bit card

They'd be roughly the same, however the GTX 660 has 2 GB of memory. I'd go with the GTX 660 for sure.

It happens when frames drop to around 50 FPS or less. You'll realize it once you try using something like a GTX 580 instead of your 460 SLI setup.
