    670 is about 25-30% faster but uses a lot more power since it's on the old 40nm process instead of 28nm like the 660.

    With an unlocked vBIOS you can push the 660M to be faster than the best overclocked 670M.

    It also runs cooler and consumes less power

    Even tho this is a laptop forum im going to assume he means the desktop versions because the GTX660Ti just came out for the desktop.
    From the benchs i've seen its between 10-20% difference between 670 and 660. Its def an excellent $300 card tho.

    Humm well I clearly need to send messages better - as I always forget some SERIOUS info - but I meant for laptops and yes I ment GTX660m and GTX670m... But well, I apreciate all the info you guys sent here. Just one quick question: what's this "unlocked vBIOS" you mentioned? Thanks a lot.
