GTX 670 brand

If there are plenty of cases of it and they stopped making it for that reason, and it is possible to return it i would do that. A little hassle now might save you a lot down the track.

If there are issues, then they are confined to the TOP version. I would not sweat over the non-TOP version. The DirectCU is one of the best.

If your not having any issues then why return it

i havent even opened it, and i don't want to if i will have issues down further down the road

@matto, on newegg issues are directed at this version

I would probably return it then have to deal with a problem later on.

Most of the issues that people had with the Asus 670's were related to them using the GPU tuning software included with the card. Asus acknowledged that was causing the "Overboost" on the cards which caused them to crash. I picked up my 670 Top version and downloaded drivers from Nvidia and used MSI afterburner. Only crash I had was when I tried undervolting my CPU overclock to lower temps. Cheers.

If it was discontinued for issues with that card, i also say return it and look at some of the other options:

Any of these would work just as well in my opinion. (but if you ask me, i would go with the MSI since it boasts great overclocking capabilities and other features as well.)

+1 for the MSI Power Edition. I have it in my rig and dont have any complaints. Run nice and quiet if you already have good airflow in your case.

the first one you linked is the card i have right now...

Oh, lol. I'm sorry about that. The one in that link isn't discontinued though? So i guess there was a little confusion there.

no worries lol

weird, when i looked earlier today it said discontinued.

Anyway i think ill just return it and wait for a better deal on a better card

Thanks guys
