Just post what you know about the differences in performance between the two!

GTX 670 no doubt.

Lower price.
Better performance.
Lower temperatures.
Less noise.

An oc'd 670 can be just as powerful as a 680 at stock clocks... haven't looked into benches too much but i know the 680 stomps the 580.

GTX 670, Hands down

I have the 670 and went from two 560 ti's and huge performance increase

580 needs to be about $330 for it to be competitive.

GTX 670 no doubt.

Lower price.
Better performance.
Lower temperatures.
Less noise.

What this dude said ^

If the 580 isn't $100 cheaper than a 670, the 670 wins every day.

With the introduction of the 7000 Series AMD cards and the 600 series NVIDIA cards, there is little to no point in investing towards a GTX 500 series. As displayed in the benchmarks above, the 670 clearly wipes the floor with the 580. And when you couple that with the newer 28nm Kepler architecture which yields better OC'ing performances due to lower temps and lower power consumption WHILST increasing performance, the decision is boils down to common sense.
