What's the difference?

I'm going to be purchasing a Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 graphics card, but I keep seeing a "TI" or "OEM" behind the 660. From what I understand it's faster, but what I'm curious is it worth paying more the ''TI'' or "OEM"?

Oem isnt worth more, but TI has more cores and a higher clock speed.

Unless you need cuda or physx then i'd go for a hd7950, price is lower than the ti but it competes with the 670

I'm sticking with GTX 660, but I didn't understand what the big difference between the Oem and the TI where.

Go to anandtech.com and check the benches area

Will do. The other quick question is does it matter who the maker is? [referring to PNY or MSI etc..]

Well some have better warranties and customer support, or a better cooler. Generally the good ones are MSI, XFX, Sapphire, Gigabyte, ASUS, and i think a few others
