Just wondering if there is any word on the restocking, looks like even the Galexy is sold out now on newegg.
I still have a week or two before i can pick one up, but if its anything like the 680.......yea, you know. :ouch:

The EVGA base model was just restocked May 17th at 7pm, but they are already sold out :)
But be aware that are are problems with the vanilla 670's atm, a lot of them are artifacting/crashing after intense gaming, but mabye the next batch will be better.
(EVGA Forums is where i heard about the problems)

Yup, I was able to order my EVGA 670 right after 7pm with the rest of my new computer components. I was torn between the EVGA and the MSi version.

For the other guy asking about the Galaxy's. I have 2 friends, one owns a 680 and the other a 670 Galaxy and they love them. You'll be satisfied with their brand.
 
I haven't looked at the 670's as yet but most MSI and EVGA 560/570's were on my "avoid list. Yes, the factory OC'd models had better coolers but in EVGA's case (except for the classified), they went with a stock PCB and reference VRM which severely curtailed the card's OC ability. Hence the "Have you fried your 570 thread below and other ones like it.

With MSI, the Hawk (8 phase) and Lightning (10 phase) had non reference PCB's with beefy VRM's but with the Twin Frozr chinsed out a bit on the 560 Ti going with a 6 phase VRM while Asus and Gigabyte went with 7.

The Asus 670 TOP has 8 phases .....EVGA Superclocked has 4+2 phase design ..... EVGA FTW has 8 phase design ..... Galaxy has 4 phase design...... Gigabyte OC has 5 phases
