Nerd- academic to an extreme normally losing touch with social skills and regular people- eg, Math Nerd, Science Nerd etc

Geek- Obsessed hobby enthusiast, still capable of socializing, and blending in - eg, gamer geek, sci fi geek, music geek

Main difference being Geeks can still function in normal social circles, whereas nerds typically have difficulty relating to other people and typically avoid other people in lieu of their academic interests.

I am a gamer geek, and I guess a bit of a word nerd.
