If you absolutely need a Nvidia, then ya the 660 would probably be your best bet

[extremescouter]

Seems like a decent choice, and many regard the GTX 660 as the best fps per dollar card out there. However, GTX 7xx is coming out in the next few weeks, and there may be better options. If you are getting the card in December, I would definitely wait and see what the options are.

December?

Post back here in 6 Months time :o

 

7xx Will be out by then..

It's good for it's price if you need CUDA.

 

If you're using premiere or after effects: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/14186-how-to-get-nvidia-cuda-support-in-adobe-creative-suite-6-for-gtx-gpus/

 

If you just want to game, the 7850 is the "better" alternative

[Guest GRRigger]

The prices will drop cosiderably over half year span, especially since gtx 700 series will be introduced as early as this month (  gtx 780 first i belive ), then other 7xx to follow, and in december AMD will present its 22nm based 9000 series ( they skipped 8000 ).

Well yeah--the 7850 is better performance per dollar.
