Conclusion

Lets take a closer look at the results in the games we tested. In this case we can see, that the performance improvement from the GTX 660 Ti to the GTX 760 varies between 8.9 (Far Cry 3) and -3.3 percent (Dirt Showdown). On average the GTX 760 is almost 5.2 percent quicker than the GTX 660 Ti.

At this point we also want to have a quick look at power consumption. Running our test setup with the GTX 760 made it consume nine watt less in idle than with the GTX 660 Ti. Under load we noticed, that the test setup equipped with the GTX 760 needed 40 watts more. We explain the increased power consumption by the higher clock speeds as well as the fact, that the GTX 760 comes with more activated sharder units. 

Last but not least we answer the initial question: should I upgrade? Well, no. Since the GTX 760 is very similar to the GTX 660 Ti we much rather recommend to overclock your GTX 660 Ti a little bit to even outpace a reference GTX 760. We definitely wouldn't waste a few hundred bucks on a new card, that is just a mere five percent quicker.
