Don't know much about computers except how to put them together so could anyone tell me what makes the real difference in these two cards as I'm a higher number = better kind of guy but what matters in a graphics card for gaming? I don't mind the price difference as it's only $70 with the rebate, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 660 TI is faster, but not worth 70$ faster, because you can OC the normal 660 that high. Also would you consider getting the AMD HD7870 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127662 A bit faster at higher res.

Or get the HD7950 for the price of the 660 TI and its faster yet with a 384bit. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127662

Not sure what you are planning on doing, if you don't care for Physx or Cuda (only a few titles use it) then way not get something thats faster from AMD for the same price. Again, your choice.
