Should i get this version of 680 or go with 670

Yeah, I agree. Some people on these forums are making a big deal out of the MSI situation. You have to keep in mind these forums are being overrun with AMD fanboys these days. Their hallmark is to try to exploit any angle they can, real or imagined, usually imagined. Don't fall into that trap.

By the way, did you know that: Kepler cards are severely bandwidth limited, PhysX sucks, Adaptive VSync sucks, Turbo Boost sucks, AMD no longer has driver problems, AMD cards are always better and faster than their Nvidia counterparts, AMD cards are better at AA, AMD cards are better at tesselation, AMD cards overclock a lot more than Nvidia cards, AMD cards are better at high resolutions, AMD cards are better at compute tasks, Crossfire scales better than SLI, AMD cards are more future proof, and that AMD cards are a better price-performance value?

Guys both make great cards like it or not

I was hoping you'd get a kick out of that. It's pretty much every single AMD fanboy response on every single thread that gets repeated over and over ad nauseum. Just don't ask me to do the same for the Nvidia fanboy responses, because those are naturally more well thought out and factual.

Guys, it's time to stop hijacking the thread.

The choice for me comes down to whether you can afford the 680 or not. The Signature 2 is 6-7% faster than the stock 680, which is in turn 6-7% faster than a stock 670. Of course, the 670 can overclock to 680 speeds, but then again the Signature 2 can overclock as well, in excess of 1200+ mhz. If you want top performance and can afford it, get the Signature 2. If you want to save some money, and still be happy, get one of the Asus GTX 670 DirectCU's.

what about cooling, is evga sc2 would be good.
i am just thinking to get gigabyte 670 x3
i am just confused and want buy my computer tomorrow  ((

Both are very good are you planing to overclock hardcore if so get a non reference card it will run cooler

If you check out the XBitLabs review, they do a thorough testing of the cooling and noise properties of the Signature 2.

may i won't overclock, does overclocking damage the card?

and if i want put 2 gigabyte in sli in future will it give same fps as 690

i just want know why people don't prefer gigabyte , what issue with it

thanks

If you don't know what your doing yes you can damage the card even kill it sometimes lol and no two 670 would not out preform a 690 unless they were overclocked the reason i don't prefer gigabyte is the card feels cheap to me i don't like the way it's been made that doesn't mean it's a bad card i think personal experience differs from one brand to another thus why so many recommend different brand names they are all good though imo.I just prefer Asus,MSI,EVGA because i never had a bad experience with any cards i have owned from those company.

I learned a lot from this XBitLabs review which compares a bunch of GTX 660 Ti's. The point is that you can extrapolate about the GTX 670 versions, which are going to use the same coolers. In this review, the Gigabyte model was just behind the Asus DirectCU as having the most efficient and quiet coolers. The Asus DirectCU is the way to go though.

than i think i would buy a good card and i won't overclock it, i will just buy second one if needed.

That's one advantage of a GTX 670/680, with Turbo Boost they take advantage of each game's unused power threshold and overclock automatically to maximize performance. It's virtually impossible to ruin your card through manual overclocking, since the card will adjust itself to stay within its power limits. Unless you have one of those defective MSI cards, like bigcyco has.

    my cards are the best 670's imo aside from Asus top!

I would split the difference and buy a 7970. Less money than a 680, more power than a 670. Just sayin'

Congratulations sir! You have won today's grand prize!

  this forum is to much everybody likes to argue i don't get that
