unbelieveable!! GTX670 = 98% the performance of GTX680 and yet $100 cheaper.

GTX680 sure has made nvidia and Jen-Hsun Huang Rich, a supposedly $499 card now market the hell out itself by pretending "out of stock" from most e-retailers while they just wholesale them to smaller stores so everyone has to get them at $599-$699 and it still sell like mad. But performance speaks for itself, who can blame them?

Now beware, pre-order these babies before you became another victim of dirty marketing, "out of stock" after paper launch is almost certain, because GTX670 pulled another stun after and 8800GT and GTX470, barely 2%-4% slower than GTX680 and beats 7970 in most benches. Demand of this card will FAR surpass GTX680 with $400 mark for who knows how long.

I could see a lot of people SLi-ing the GTX 670. :PElann2008

As previously written RIP AMD 7970 (and likely 7950 as well) - sorry IonusX not even you can spin some progaganda in AMD's favour on this one.

tc this is old.. i got this up like a week - half a week ago

No, amd is alright. They have to sell the 7970 for $400 and the 7950 for $350. This is what happens when u release something before your competitors, your competition already knows your hand.

If I were you I would hold off on the 680 and just get a 670 and SLI later on. The difference is absolutely tiny but the price isn't

Hmmm I see why you want 680s then if that's the price. Best to wait and see I guess. Seen as the 670s haven't had full reviews yet and comparisons. Can't really go wrong with either though

[QUOTE="mitu123"] If I do get them they need 4GB at least, heard someone said they cost 489 bucks.

Yep and I can get a 670 for 400 euro give or take :P Seems like an upgrade might be on the Horizon

Still waiting for something at about £150 that's significantly better than my 275.

Problem is they haven't yet, they're still comparatively overpriced compared to nvidia's offerings.

GTX 480? I seen one on offer for £164.99 on Overclockers last week, I think they are still in stock.

Bah, guess they went back up in price.

so,is it possible to sli an overclocked 670 2gb with a normal 4gb version?verbalfilth

I'm sure it is, but that would be a total waste of a 4GB 670. When you SLI cards with 2 different memory sizes and the same chipset, you only get to use the amount of VRAM that the lesser card has. So you would be basically turning your 4GB 670 into a 2GB one.

Nothing in the GTX 600 series, true... But there are a couple of cards in the GTX 500 series that are priced to compete with the 7850 and 7870.

[QUOTE="MW2ismygame"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Yeah, so 2 4GB 670s>2 2GB 670s.mitu123

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!Tribaz86

To my knowledge gigabyte only has the one 670 card. Check Gigabytes website and see if they have any other version of the 670. The picure is of a windforce edition. Also, a lot of benchmarks show the gigabyte 670 a little below (almost on par with) the 680 reference.

e.g.http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=2236&pageID=11873

Also, are you planning on buying from that website? I've never heard of them. I don't like the way the description of the card is so unspecific (no model number?). Amazon had the same card for $400 today. They say they will be restocked on May 14. They had a lot of them today and only ran out in the evening. They are pretty well stocked when they get them. Amazon has great customer support too.

[QUOTE="MW2ismygame"] wouldn't the 4gb only be worth it over the normal 2gb if you were playing on mulch-displays or very high resolution ? or would you see improvement at any resolution with the 4gb over the 2gb ?trastamad03
