Best GTX 670 on Newegg & TigerDirect?

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Hello, I have a few questions regarding the GTX 670 and it's various versions.

I. On Newegg, what's the best GTX 670 assuming I have no budget?
II. On Newegg, what's the best GTX 670 assuming I have a $420 budget? (I'll consider going to $430).
III. Now, on TigerDirect, what's the best GTX 670 assuming I have no budget?
IV. On TigerDirect what's the best GTX 670 assuming I have a $420 budget? (I'll consider going to $430).

This is TigerDirect's site for their GTX 670s: http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaigns/include/nv... Scroll down to view those sexy cards :) 

Thanks in advance. I'm getting a 670 soon and need to find out which is the best for me to get assuming I have no budget or a $420-$430 budget.

To make it simple for you, the evga gtx 670 FTW is $419.99. It currently is the best deal other than theASUS DCUII Top version. Then just compare the clocks and the price between both sites.

A couple of factors for 1 fan graphics cards. If you have sufficient ventilation inside your case, no cords blocking fans, and enough space for sufficient airflow. If you think you you don't have enough fans or sufficient cooling, go for the gigabyte or asus.

The highest Overclocks you'll get will be from the Asus DC II Top and EVGA FTW, but the main disadvantage of FTW is the cooling that's why I recommend the Gigabyte over it.

Asus TOP is the one I recommend from those if you don't have a problem with 3 slot space.

I'd say go with the Asus DCII. It has the highest overclock and actually beats a 680 in certain cases.

I'm actually on the fence on buying it myself. I always do extensive research before I buy things because 1) I'm a college student and can't afford to buy one thing and not be pleased with it, and 2) I have a girlfriend who I also have to use money on.

So yea, after all of my research while EVGA is great and wouldn't doubt them for a second, just comparing all 670's the Asus wins across the board.
Just added and it is only $20 more than the EVGA. And what maybe 10-20% better.

Just look at the review

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_670...

Yes, just look at that monster.

Well also take into consideration that it will take up 3 slots so make sure you have enough space.

A bit ridiculous but I also did read that it is like 17% quieter than the reference card which is quite baffling considering the reference card has 1 small fan compared to a 12 square foot heat sink and 3 propellers the Asus card has.

Uh, I believe a Sli config should fit in both, but with nothing else of course. So no dedicated sound card or network card, nothing actually lol.

The ASUS is only 1.7" in width so you will definitely be safe. And is only 2 slots.

And I apologize I was actually picturing the 680 which is 2.3" deep.

So yea 2x Asus GTX670 DC2 will be great. Essentially 2 stock 680s.

I have the gigabyte windforce I like the fact is 399 and factory oc plus custom/680 board i have seen it boost to 1305 I have seen higher but not mine yet still playing.. It also does 7000 mem no problem.

The Asus DCUII for the 670 is only two slots, not three like the big brother 680. So it will work with SLI but if you're considering SLI, go with the FTW. Without a blower type fan pushing hot air outside your case it's going to get really hot in there. But if you're not considering SLI, I'd go with the ASUS.

Well it's not in stock, and I'm not going SLI, so my best options seems like the FTW? (Assuming the Gigabyte is a size issue for SLI).

No, any dual slot card won't be an issue for SLI.
And you can go for the non top version of Asus.

I shouldn't game while I post on forums, now I got this thread confused :o .

So the Asus non-top version's cooler surpasses the gigabyte and ftw? Considering it's cooler supports ocing?

The gigabyte has three fans It is even with the other I just got done with a memory overclocking run got a stable 7800hmz on the mem i tried +800 +850 +900 lol 800 is stable 850 and 900 run but I see colored dots off and on :/

I'm not going to say its better just saying they are the same I think can't go wrong either way just happy with mine. Have not seen what the CU2 can do. I just like the price I got the Asus will be awesome too just get the one you can :)

@OP
To end this up, Asus or Gigabyte are the best for cooling, they won't differ too much from each other.

Asus DCII vs DCII Top, really there's no too much to take into account, anyone will perform as expected and OC as expected. I would pick the DCII personally.

Yeah, most likely I won't be doing OCing.

So to get this settled:
No OC: FTW Version
OC: Asus DCII Top or Regular Asus DCII (Don't think I can extend the budget for the TOP).
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh and one final thing I left out, the ASUS/Gigabyte cards could be OC'd to the FTW speeds right? With even better cooling I imagine :D .

Oh I see, now not as clueless lol.

Okay, thanks for all the help guys, I'll get the FTW version for now since it's on sale until 6/10 and the CU II isn't in stock on Newegg nor TigerDirect CU II TOP either unfortunately. I could get the gigabyte but for the sake of aesthetics I'll stick with a black card, will match mobo and other stuff better.

Yeah the higher the premium the more cherry picked the gpus are suposedly so overclocking can get a little higher but from what I see 1300 is what most get on all cards a few get 1350 prob very high end chips to get higher you have to disable the TDP limit I have seen people doing this thats how that one guy is pushing 2000mhz on these things with nitro crazzy.

You think it's dangerous/unnecessary to OC past the factory OC? Just wondering really.
