ASUS GTX 660 2GB or XFX R9 270 2GB?

I'm having a hard time deciding what graphics card to use for a build I'm putting together. I found both cards for practically the same price but I'm not sure which one will perform better. Any ideas on which is better?

Here's the two cards I'm interested in:

Here is a benchmark comparison:

It really comes down to price and which features you prefer. Performance, power use, and noise are all very close.

Thanks for the benchmarks Calculagator. They look pretty even to me. I do like the aesthetic design of the GTX 660 better so maybe I'll go with it.
