770 forsure is better than 660ti. a 680 is already better than 660ti. Just depend on your budget, if i'm you and got the budget for 770 i will step towards to 770 too.

 

But i dont know your situation too, example like are you having budget for this upgrade? Want some loading speed (SSD) or anything else then it will be a different story.

it all depends on your CPU if you have a kind of low end cpu then i would go the 660ti but if you have a high end cpu then i would go the 770 if the budget fits

A gtx 770 would be twice as faster than the gtx 660 ti. The decision is up to you.

This is so so wrong.  :lol: 

Anyway, GTX670 price should be dropping right now, maybe you can get that instead. It is the closest to 680/770 but cost much less.  ;)
