it shows this on the hierarchy chart but real world performance shows that the 660 ti beats it in most games. so which is better? if i get either of these i do plan to oc as much as possible. the 660 ti is slightly weaker than the 760, the 7870 xt is a weaker version of the 7950. the 760 is around the level of the 7950.

the 660ti is half a step slower then the 760/7950... an overclocked 7870xt is about on par with a stock 660ti.
Really in the grand scheme of things if it was my $$ i would get a 760. If it was a matter of a used card it probably would come down to the manufacturer of the available used cards, the condition of those cards, and the games/programs i use to make the choice between the 7950/660ti/760

The 660Ti will more or less be more faster in games, since most of them are more optimized towards nVidia users.
I don't exactly remember which latest DX 11.x it supports but microsoft is promising DX12 that will work with previous Fermi and Kepler cards. So that's something to look forward to.
Looking at all sorts of benchmarks, I believe that the 660Ti will have better average fps and won't have as much lag spikes, should you use higher resolution in-game or Hi-Res textures.
Just make sure the card has at least 2GB of memory since it should be standard for entry/mid level gamers nowadays.
Pick either ASUS or MSI flavor both are good, unless you don't have the option. In my honest opinion the Twin Frozr beats Direct CU II slightly.
If you could get a bit more money, the 760 GTX is the best way to go.
If you're looking to save a bit of money your basic guideline should a card that almost matches performance of 7950. The 7870 is still a very good graphics card, I won't deny that.

It's not the raw performance from synthetic benchmarks you should be looking at, ff you're going to be gaming with the graphics card. They don't accurately reflect how the card performs in a game.
