Of the cards you list, I would defiantly recommend the Asus DirectCU II Top.
It has a custom PCB and heatsink along with a massive factory overclock.
In general, it performs the same as a stock GTX 680 and is virtually silent idle and load.

As a second option, the Asus DirectCU II (non-Top) would be my recommendation.
While it shares the custom PCB and cooler, it misses out on the quite large factory overclock.
Personally, as the Top edition is only $10 more, I would get it.
The non-Top version is currently in stock though, which does count for something...

The other three cards you list all use nVidia's stock PCB and cooler.
As such, I would not expect them to be so very quiet or overclockable as either Asus card.

recon, I had thought that nVidia was finally at parody for Multi-Monitor gaming with AMD now?
I remember seeing in a few reviews that the GK104 is capable of driving all 4 display outputs simultaneously...

Your CPU is plenty fast enough to power any current GPU and your PSU is of high quality.
There should be no issues with a GTX 670 in your system.

its not a comparison i was asking if i needed a gtx 670 just to play bf3 max settings on 3 screen/2screen if i didn't need a 670 i would of gone with a 7850

Even with an overclock, I would still say the Asus (non-Top) card is better.
Assuming the PCB is identical to the Top version, Asus completely revamped the voltage regulation circuitry and added software voltage control.
That, coupled with an excellent heatsink, should let you overclock easily past what Evga is offering.


Agreed, the 560 Ti DCII TOP was killer reaching 30+% overclocks and the 670 versions does the same in Guru3D's review. The 8 phase VRM was key for the 560 and the 670 TOP also has 8 phases. Most of the EVGA cards have just 4 phases. The SC version reportedly has 6 (4+2).
