Hello!

So I was about to pick which GTX 660 version am I going for. Originally I thought that the Ti version is not worth the money, but at least I wanted to get the boosted version of the non-Ti (DC2T).

But now, the GTX 600 Ti DC2 is on sale, exactly the same price as the other one mentioned above.

I am not really planning to overclock, only if I have to. Which one do you recommend?
 
Solution
The 660ti uses a different architecture, which makes comparing them hard. In games, the 660ti should always outperform the 660.
For more on the comparison, the 660 would be like a 2.8 GHz C2D, or something, and the 660ti would be a 2.6 GHz i5.

60-70 Euros difference :S I'll stick to 660.

My dilemma is, that the 660 Top has higher clock speed (+150 MHz), but the 660 Ti has more CUDA cores (1344 > 960). Which one do I benefit from more?

well i think it's just like the CPU
for example if you have to choose between an intel core i5 with 4x3Ghz and an intel core i7 with 8x2.1 , than you would've chosen the i7
this is the same -> you will choose the GPU with more CUDA cores
