660 vs 7850

I was just about to say that MSI Twin Frozr 7850 will be my next card, but than I see that for the asking price, 220$, I can get 660. It seems to be a better performer.

Can a cheapest 660 be as quite as the 7850 that I choose?

For example this one:

220$ is the absolute maximum I can go.

the 660 is faster than the 7850 overall, it is more comparable to the 7870. that zotac 660 card looks to bee good with a good cooler, so it should be cool and quiet. I would go the 660.

I'm still researching. 660 is definitely more powerful, but I'll only et it if I can get quieter card for the same 220$ budget. Asus 660 seems to be the quietest but it's 230, and even 220$ is very much stretched.
