Both are neck and neck, I like my 680. But I would get the 670 honestly instead. And like EVGA alot, just my .02

I have an ASUS MOBO, ASUS Laptop and ASUS nexus 7. I like ASUS all of there products have been good to me. But I've never owned an ASUS GPU, only EVGA

Generally, I'm more apt to recommend two moderately priced cards than a single GPU ..... way lower cost per frame. Without budget restraints, the card(s) I most often use is the 670

Right now the 7870 LE/MYST/XT all have the best bang for the buck. They don't perform as high as a 670.

JackNaylorPE :

what do u think about it ??? Asus GeForce GTX670 Direct CU II 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0

An excellent card. I had the 4gb asus 670 and its works very well. The nice thing too being that the 670 version is a 2 slot cooler rather than the 680 being a 3 slot cooler along with the 7950 and 7970 versions both being 3 slot as well. Runs very cool and quiet even at max load. Good as well if you want to overclock.

MANOFKRYPTONAK :

Actually the Myst Edition can compete with the 670, to answer the TS I would pick the 7970Ghz Vapor X over any GTX 680. Nvidia still has problems with Tomb Raider one of the biggest game releases.

Airm3n-1292454 · Apr 17, 2013

No problems here with that game. Aside from the hair thing which doesn't render correctly everything else was flawless for me. I ran it on a 670 and on my gtx titan.

I've heard this from people, but what is interesting is that most benchmarks show the game favoring Nvidia's cards. For myself, the game runs great on 680's.

I'm thinking in ASUS HD 7970 Matrix Platinum 3GB, but I'm not sure.

As long as you aren't planning on going with another down the road for Crossfire, it is a good choice. Otherwise, if you do, I'd go with a 670 for now.

more suggestions ? i really need to be sure , for the best performance

Airm3n-1292454 · Apr 17, 2013

At 1080p resolution any of the cards will work good. I'd pick the cheapest of them. Going over 1080p if you want to stick with a single card then probably 7970 would be a good choice with the larger memory bus.
