The 660 is a good card but is becoming outdated. I'd suggest saving and buying a 970 or one of the high end 700 series cards.

For around 17k rupees you can get a 760 http://www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidi...+760&ref=0af2373b-cdc1-4c30-960c-d69b4fb88682

Personal experience says that the 760 is also barely hanging on to the new titles. ACU runs at 30 fps and drops to 12 fps on high-ultra settings at 1080p on my system. Farcry 4 runs at 30-60 fps on max settings.

If playing on max settings is not what you want. Then go ahead and buy the 660.

That was kind of my thought... a GTX760. It's a reasonable card that is being discounted fairly well in view of the upcoming GTX960, but it depends...

OP, what kind of budget do you have?

I have a i5/760 combo, it's decent enough playing FPS's and such, but I don't expect Uber settings.

The best cards for the $ over 760 are R9 280 and 280X. Mantle will help alleviate your CPU bottleneck in titles that support Mantle. You also get the much needed 3GB of VRAM. Get the 760 only if it's much cheaper than a 280/280X. Both the 280 and 280X are faster than the 760 and with Kepler performance now very poor in recent titles, the gap has widened significantly. 280X will be 25-50% faster than a 760 in modern titles. Considering they often cost $20-30 apart, 280X is a product that competes with 770 4GB, and lately even beats the 770, nevermind the 760.

Wait for GTX960.

If you can wait for the GTX 960. the other option is to get a HD 7950 boost aka R9 280.

the GTX 660 is getting hammered in the latest games like Farcry 4 while HD 7950 boost (R9 280) is doing very well. close to 2x the perf.

Farcry 4

Yup, 960 should be coming out shortly. Don't buy a 660 right now, it's outdated tech.

God are all hardware prices that bad in India? $200 for a GTX 660?

$390 for the cheapest R9 280x?
