Which one of those is better (performance wise)?

7870s will beat a GTX 660 in all/most games. It is the clear winner.

I suggest you get this instead, 7950-like performance but only at $250.

The HD 7870 is slightly faster when measuring FPS than the GTX 660. http://www.hwcompare.com/13302/geforce-gtx-660-vs-radeon-hd-7870/
But AMD is having issues with stutter lately due to long frame times. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6857/amd-stuttering-issues-driver-roadmap-fraps
It's worse in multi-GPU setups, but also arises in single cards. Nvidia isn't immune from the problem, but it appears to be far less intense with their cards.

Has been rumoured that AMD has a whole new set of drivers that will keep the frame issues to a minimum. Okay, maybe not that much but it will be a significant change.

Got my fingers crossed.
