Hooray for decent Aussie prices for once, I was freaking out expecting like 550-600, ebaying my 5970 and picking up one of these puppies :) and a second further down the track.

I'll wait a month or better yet two months to wait for prices to settle and availability to kick in then I'll make a pick on what to get but I have a feeling its gonna be a gtx 670(proly reference).

Gahhh! Ive been waiting for Amazon to accept my college textbooks for trade in so I could buy an EVGA card. Now they are sold out. They will probably accept the trade in this afternoon. One day too late.

I guess I won't be going for that GTX 690 then. Thinking of buying two GTX 670 4GB versions next week. Saves me some money as well :)

Why is everyone flipping out like its the messiah of computer hardware? Unless I am missing something, all I see is a card that costs the same as a 7970 and has either slightly better or slightly worse performance. At anything past $400 I really don't see anything to be excited about....unless you just wanted to go with NVIDIA instead of amd..

You aren't going to be able to realistically find 670s for $399 after the initial run dries up. They'll be price jacked just like the 680 and will cost the same as a 7970 for a majority of the people that buy one. Only a small portion of people who get one in the first month will pay msrp.

For the record, I'm getting one only because I haven't already got something else and because the last ATI card I had that didn't fail prematurely was a 9800xt like 8 years ago.

Looks like a great card. I wish I could justify spending the money, but everything is running very smoothly right now. I'll probably wait for the next gen.

[QUOTE="James161324"]

Any idea how much wattage one would need to run two of them. Two 460's just don't cut it in many games if i want to use surround

C_Rule

Well, GTX 680 SLI is about 540w at full load and a 670 uses ~40w less than a 680 (single vs single @ full load).

What would you reccomond something 800 plus . I would love to not upgrade from my 650 but i doubt that would work

Well this turned into a more expensive night than planned!! I knew the 670 was officially launching today, so was browsing prices earlier - got home, saw this thread and a few of the video reviews links. 4 hours later and I've bought just about an entire new rig :D Doubt it will get here in time for Diablo 3 launch, but hopefully something to build in a couple of weekends time :)

Not an expert on PSUs, but with reviews like the one mitu posted, where SLI 670 uses 433W under load, I really don't see why a 650W PSU wouldn't handle 670 SLI.

Was able to pick up http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125423 before it went out of stock. Seemed like the best deal to me. This will be my first Nvidia card since my old 9800 gt crapped out back in the day. Just too good of a deal to pass up really, AMD has nothing that can compete with it at that price. It'll be intersting to see how AMD responds.

You are more than good. You have enough wattage space to overclock a good bit as well.

Can't wait to see Australian pricing in the morning. A little worried though, I hope it's no more than $550.C_Rule

I bought the Gigabyte GTX670 3X OC yesterday for $399 shipped. I should be able to bench both cards on Monday. My 680 OC's extremely well, so it will be interesting to see. I also plan to bench them clock for clock. Also if a yone is interested in my 680: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GTX-680-2GB-/270973324140?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3f1744cb6c#ht_500wt_898

Why you down-grading to 670?

Because the GIGABYTE GTX670 Windforce is actually a 680 PCB that performs within the 680 range. We're talking 1-3fp/s loss in most games AT THE MOST due to disabled shaders. But pretty much on par with my 680 when neither is overclocked. I will save around $100, by selling my 680 for what I've paid for. And while the 680 might have a bit more aggressive OC, the gains (3-5% over a 670) are not worth the price difference. I am all about performance per price.

When OCed the GTX 670 got and average of 69fps on Crysis 2 maxed 1920x1200. The GTX 680 when OCed averaged 75fps. So people can decide if that increase is worth it. The GTX 570 was also pretty close to the performance of a GTX 580 and was more than 150USD cheaper. I am curious to find out if newer drivers will helps performance even more.

I've read that short PCB 670's use cheaper components and that perhaps you should stick with long PCB based on 680's like ASUS, GIGABYTE, GALAXY Dual Fan versions of 670. EVGA has a FTW version coming out with a 680 board.

Slightly less than double performance (depending on the game of course).

Just common sense. Reference GTX670 is built pretty cheaply. Some of the custom AIB PCBs are either using GTX680 PCBs which use better components and stronger/more power phases or their own design, which will be better than the reference GTX670 PCB.

Edit- Reference GTX670 = 4+2phases
ASUS GTX670 DirectCUII TOP = 6+2phases
Gigabyte GTX670 OC = 5+2phases

[QUOTE="DevilMightCry"][QUOTE="achilles614"]My local compusa has the evga ref gtx 670 in stock, so very tempted but how is the ref design? any glaring problems? Mr_Ditters

I've read that short PCB 670's use cheaper components and that perhaps you should stick with long PCB based on 680's like ASUS, GIGABYTE, GALAXY Dual Fan versions of 670. EVGA has a FTW version coming out with a 680 board.

Do you happen to have a link to where you read that?

[QUOTE="Tribaz86"]Hey guys can someone here help me , i wanna know if this gtx670 is the overclocked windforce edition and if it is how it compares to the GTX 680 reference card WITHOUT overclocking it http://www.microbytes.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=40956&osCsid=356479dcab7dd8ec9ae5fb8b010fdf9a please help me!

I have both the Wibdforce 670 and stock Gigabyte 680. And the 670 performs so similar, that you could mistaken it for another 680. Since I own both a Windforce 670 andstock Gigabyte 680, I can say it's pretty damn close. Now I can OC my 680 much more, but then again not all 680's can overclock to 1340MHz. If the 5-9 more fp/s mean a lot to you, then get the 680, there is no guarantee that an OC 670 can [QUOTE="Tribaz86"]Hey guys can someone here help me , i wanna know if this gtx670 is the overclocked windforce edition and if it is how it compares to the GTX 680 reference card WITHOUT overclocking it http://www.microbytes.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=40956&osCsid=356479dcab7dd8ec9ae5fb8b010fdf9a please help me!
