EVGA gtx 660ti

Just wondering if there was much of a difference in the super clocked version over the regular version of the card

or if there is a better option for around the same price
Cheers

Not really, lol. What you get in the super clocked version you can get yourself in the regular version by manually overclocking. It's such a marginal factory overclock too...I'm not even sure it'd be a noticeable difference in performance unless you were recording and comparing FPS.

Alrighty what about the 7950 or the 7970 compaired to the 660ti

For a 660 ti, i would get a non reference card with a better cooling system(unless you have poor airflow in the case) : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127697

The 660 ti is a good card for the money, it all depends on the games that you're playing, the 660 ti offers physX and other exclusive features and better drivers.
The 7950 in some games outperforms the 660 ti, and if you want the games that the 7950 offers(far cry 3 and bioshock infinite), then the 7950 might be a good option for you, like this one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125414 (there're others).

Yea also space is an issue as i only have like 9.5 inchs of space

Well, if the case that you have can only fit ~9.5" cards, then get the 660 ti evga, you won't find any 7950 under 10".
So just get the cheapest that fits in your case, the overclocking, you can do it yourself.

Alrighty and is it worth the extra money for the ti?

 

[djangoringo]

If you can afford the 660 ti, yes, the 660 ti is worth the extra.

 

[xCorzza]

i think ill go with the ZOTAC as they are only 7.5 inches long.

 

[djangoringo]

Yes, that's the shortest 660 ti, it's a decent brand, if it's cheaper get it.
