Hello.

I recently bought a 120hz monitor specifically to play quake live. Obviously also want to play modern games like BF3, Dirt, etc. So I want to upgrade my vga and i dont know what is the best vga to take advantage of the 120hz.

I dont care for 3d...I'm just interested in the 120hz for games (ql).

Mi cpu is i5 3570, and my power supply..is ok xd.

Thankss.

 
My sources are telling me the GTX 660 is faster in the very latest review using the latest drivers and benchmarks.

You mentioned you don't care about 3D, but have you tried 3D gaming on a PC? I bought my 120hz monitor for 2D gaming, but after hooking up 3D Vision, I almost always play in 3D now. If that was the case for you, I'd definitely go with the 660, but as shown above, the 660 is likely the better choice anyways, especially if you plan to go SLI/CF later, as there is a good chance if you are wanting to take full advantage of the 120hz.
