Good Benchmarks? GTX660 versus GTX770

Hey chaps, I'm eager to track down a decent site for benchmark comparisons between cards. I'm considering upgrading my card from nvidia 660 to GTX 770 and want to see what kind of performance boost I can expect.
Would mainly be for BF4, but I play plenty of other things.
In lieu of a good site could you guys possibly advise if that would be a good upgrade? Spec below:

i5 3570k @ 4.4ghz
8gb ddr3
(GTX 660)

I boot from one ssd and game from another so no bottlenecks there.

*Edit - I should probably add I have 2 screens. The main one is a 27" 120hz 1920x1080 and I dont game in 3d on it, but like higher framerates ofc.

Having just gone from a 660 to a 680 clocked at 1200/7200 ( which will be around stock 770 speeds ), you should see a 60-70% increase in fps, and more if the 770 clocks we'll.

If you're mainly upgrading for BF4 then wait a few weeks to see what the R9 290 brings to the table, and what it does to card prices too.
 
No rush I guess.
Someone in another thread was saying the 770 and 680 were comparable on performance but the 680 was a lot cheaper, I was looking at it recently as they are about the same price now. I haven't eyed up the new AMD range as I wanted to keep the options open for 3d and I liked nvidias features but I forgot their new releases would impact prices of nvidia stuff too.
Saying that, 60% - 70% jump in framerate is pretty significant. And I have some birthday money floating around...
No rush I will see how BF4 performs this weekend.
 
GTX770 is just an overclocked and rebadged GTX680, so performance is the same other than the clock speed boost. 770 is, therefore, better - but if you see a 680 cheap then it might be better value.
 
No rush I will see how BF4 performs this weekend.

If you can wait until December then Mantle support will be patched into BF4, which is rumoured to give AMD 7xxx & R9 cards a performance boost.

How much of a boost nobody knows yet.
