HD 7870 is faster than the GTX 660, the GTX 660 is faster than the HD 7850.

So if you find a 7870 for the same price get it, if you can't then go with the 660.

Better still if you can find an HD 7870 myst or XT (Tahiti LE), then get that instead, it usually costs just 10$ more than the 660 and is as fast as the 660 Ti & faster than a 670 once overclocked.

It can be found right now for 230$ @ Amazon.com

It is also worth mentioning that you get Bioshock Infinite + Tomb raider for free with the HD 7870 & HD 7870 Tahiti LE cards.

Also depends on your usage, just for gaming either are really good but if you use Adobe products, then you need cuda, if you fold, you should use nvidia and stuff like that

I would go for the GTX 660 OC 2GB because the GTX 660 beats the hd7850.
