The GTX 660 FTW ends up being the better choice of the two. Hope this helps.

Based on what I've read the 750 is better. Don't listen to the guy above me, he just looked up the reference cards, not the one you specifically asked for.

Josh DeSola,
If you actually look at the link I provided the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 FTW is what I looked up, the ASUS GTX 750 Ti is the card I looked at as well. In the end, the 660 works better with DirectX than the 750. The 660 also has 320 more texture cores and 40 more mapping units. By all means, get the 750Ti if you want something 'new' but the 660 is better.

Yeah 660 performs better. The 750 ti uses a lot less power and is new but look up any review and you'll see the 660 is a good deal better

And look at this: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
Shows GTX 660 4112, GTX 750Ti 3597.
I have a feeling the 660 is a bit better in some apps and the 750Ti in others.
Maxwell gets a bit more out of CUDA cores but the 660 (Kepler) has more of them.

For gaming performance 660 is better.
750TI is for energy efficiency and upgrade of older OCs with weaker psu.

You guys are looking at this the wrong way.
If I was buying a new GPU, I would for SURE get the GTX 750Ti over the GTX660. Why? Well the main reason is that the GTX660 costs around 189.99 usually, while I can find the GTX750Ti for around 149.99 or 159.99. That's a 30-40 dollar increase in price for the GTX660. And the OP might not want to spend that kind of money.
I also don't think the little extra performance you get from a GTX660 is worth the extra 40 bucks.
And comparing core count with these cards is like comparing the GTX580's cores with the GTX680's cores. The 580 has 3x's less cores, they are just more powerful but the 680 wins because it still has 3x's more while only being 2x's less powerful.
Same goes for the 750Ti. 750Ti's cores are about 1.5x's as fast as GTX660 cores. So basically, they have the exact same amount of cores. But where the GTX660 wins is in memory bandwidth. The GTX660 has 192bit memory bus, while the 750Ti only has 128bit. But the 750Ti also has a newer better way of dealing with memory, so that ameliorates the 660's 192bit memory bus a LITTLE, but not fully.
So basically the GTX660's memory subsystem is what makes it a little faster. Is that worth the extra 40 bucks? I don't think so at all.
Go with the 750Ti my friend. And you won't even need a 6 pin power connector and you won't even be able to hear your graphics card spin up at all. It'll be silent. The 750Ti should also get a decent boost by overclocking it. Only to a certain extent as it only has 75w of PCIe power to run off of and stock it uses 60w.

On the other hand, I saw a GTX660 in a Tom's Hardware article for "Best Graphics Card for the Money" that only costs 164.99$. If you can find that deal somewhere go for it. I'd probably still take the 750Ti because having that extra memory isn't going to help in all situations and you won't be able to run higher settings because of it. You may be able to incease MSAA a LITTLE. I'd much rather have a compact, cool, and quiet graphics card.

BTW RageMouse.... Literally everything in that article you just linked is completely false. The 750Ti doesn't have 960 cores, it doesn't have a 256bit memory bus, and I don't even think it has the correct number of TMU's and ROP's.
That article is just trying to predict what it will have. But the 750Ti is already on the market so we already know.

Yep its the 660 that has 960 CUDA. And 192 bit memory.
The 750Ti only has 128 bit memory. And yeah it doesn't support SLI.
In Australia the 750Ti costs about $220 and the 660 $250 on PCCG.
If you wanted an SLI upgrade path then obviously you can't use the 750Ti.

Gtx 660 by far.
Why?
Simple.
The 750 does have a better gpu yes BUT it lacks everywhere else.
5000 mhz ram vs 6000
512 cores vs 968 cores
And a 128 bit memory vs a 196 bit
The 750 is pretty solid but it lacks on almost everything to win.
Just an FYI on the overclocking of the 750 ti: It DOES have a 6pin connector located towards the video outputs on the card. The normal 750 does not have a power connector. The 750 ti will overclock as far as you can push the sliders on the GPU boost utility, making it fully capable of keeping up with much more expensive cards.

The 660 performs better - End of.
Its up to you weather the extra performance is worth the money.
