What's better and how much is the difference in percent?

At a glance

7770 has bandwidth of 72.0 GB/s
GTX650 has a bandwidth of 80.0 GB/s unless it is the Ti version @ 86.4 GB/s

both entry level cards for Med/High gaming

might want to look at the new 700's series from Nvidia instead of the 600's

I'd get the GTX 650 2GB, the VRAM is important, then overclock it to GTX 660 speeds. I have AMD myself so I am not a fanboy, although I prefer AMD normally.

I would get a HD 7790 and oc it. Then you will basically have 7850 performance for a lot less

That is a GTX 650 Ti in your link. Very different card from GTX 650.

650 performs really close to the 7750

for the same price the 7770 is clearly the winner.

I would go 7770 out of those. But the 7790 is about the same cost as a 7770 if you don't mind rebates.

No you can't the 650 and 660 are poles apart. It has less processors and the memory bandwidth is cramped, there are 2 versions above it which is the ti and boost which can't quite catch up to the 660 as well.

Guys, nothing wrong with posting your suggestions, but at least, let's try to post something accurate.

1) The specs on paper matter little, the HD7770 is a good 30%-35% faster than the GTX650.

2) Overclock a GTX650 to GTX660 speed? You mean clock, yes doable, but why, it is still underpowered. Overclock it to GTX660 performance? That, I want to see. The GTX660 should be close to double the performance of the GTX650, meaning you need a 100% overclock. Oh, the 2GB RAM in a GTX650 is useless, the card lacks the firepower to use it.

OP, no contest at all, the HD7770 clearly, but as others suggested, if you are willing to play the rebate game, the HD7790 is barely more expensive, and a good 30%-35% faster.
