The GTX 660 Ti has lost its value at this point in time, lending way to the Radeon HD 7950 which has benefited from falling prices and new drivers.

Yeah the HD7950 became great value due to price drops a while back now, and with the recent driver update the performance in Battlefield 3 in perticular got really competitive. At least here in Sweden one can find HD7950 boost editions with good non-reference coolers for a smidgeon less than what a GTX 660Ti goes for, and it often bests the GTX 670 in raw performance. Now I would like to have a GTX 670, but it's just too expensive.
I have a feeling that the 8000 series might not show up until second half o 2013 after all, so I should finally pay up and get a 7950 for christmas.
