Which GTX 670

[Bramaz]

Which of the newly released GTX 670 cards provide the best value? Which one would you guys recommend?

I'm edging towards either the Gigabyte Windforce 3X or the KFA2 OC but would like some feedback before I hand my money over.

Cheers.

The Gigabyte Winforce seems to be the most popular 670 , its oc is impressive and so is the cooler compared to the reference ones. I say go for the Gigabyte Windforce or The Asus Top DUII

If you want the best temps for the Gigabyte but if you want the quietest card wait for the ASUS

 

[monsta]

The Asus one is a beast, good clocks and much quieter.

I also recommend the gigabyte windforce OC, it is the one I purchased. Custom cooler that is very quiet and works wonders (at least 10 degrees celsius lower than all the others on newegg) although it is longer than the other cards to accomodate it. It is second in performance for the cards newegg stocks only to the galaxy OC (which costs $40 more) according to newegg TV's youtube video. And you can have it for MSRP of a reference card! That's hard to beat.

Gigabyte GTX 670 OC +1 :lol:

I like the EVGA cards , I got a EVGA 680 SC and I love it , the reason why I chose it is because I wanted a blower cooler, one that exhausts hot air out the back of the card and not into my case. Just a personal preference for me , and EVGA is a good brand with good customer service.

LOL i don't think that MSi is not going to make the TF iii version of 670.

Yes but the question asked was which of the cards that has already been released is the best value. Your answer had nothing to do with answering that question as that card does not exist in the retail space yet.

i never said that it is out or not,monsta said that Asus DUii and gigabyte windforce is great then i said that MSi twinfrozer is also a great cooler.

 

[monsta]

They made a 680 version of it , who knows there might just be a 670 Twin Frozr coming out also

 

[hellfire24]

but i can't find gtx 680 TFiii anywhere :/

 

[monsta]

I know its a shame TSMC couldnt keep up with the demand, so stocks are gonna bad for awhile

My EVGA GTX 670 (Non SC non FTW) came with a high flow bracket already installed so it cools much better than other 670s with reference design + ref bracket.

So far my offsets are 100Mhz+ on core and mem ^_^ with BF3 max temps 60C, D3 max temps 46C, CS:GO max temps 34C. All maxed out.

The Geforce comes with extra power phases so probably overclocks better to some degree, and comes with 3 fans that cool well but are very noisy. The EVGA fan on mine runs silent at 70% fan speed and dumps a lot more hot air out of the back of the case thanks to the High Flow Bracket so I don't get outrageous temps or outrageous noise. ^_^ Plus I always have the option of stepping up my card to a 680 or 4GB 670 w/ backplate etc.
