They either don't know what they are doing or got a dud. The worse 670 I tested managed 1200MHz core and 6500MHz memory and that was a Palit reference card. The WindForce 3X card I test got far higher.

Just make sure the price is right!GPU-Z validation or it didn't happen.

Gibbo; any 4gb dates?
Nope.

The price will be fair, a reference 670 should be 100 less than a 680 and OC models £20-£40 more and at such prices they shall fly off the shelves as these things easily give 680 performance with a mild OC.

There was no mention of temps. Can I assume that clocking it to near 680 speeds will be safe, temp wize? Could someone throw me some numbers.

£339 for reference then, and £379 for the Gigabyte windforce?
reference for me then I suppose
50c max load temp on WindForce with fans set to manual 100%, on auto approx 64c

Okay that's good to know!
Is there a time deadline to the NDA or can you launch them when ever on Thursday? Would be good to know when to check the shop. Not like I'd be sitting here pressing F5 all morning.

Will be just using the standard EK680 backplate.
Less than 48 hours to go people! I've even taken next week off work to enjoy it

i've ordered a kfa2 ex oc (twin fans) ..and that arrives in stock on the 11th according to oc uk, the 670 comes in a day before i think, now if the 670 is similar in performance to a 680 should i just change my order to a 670 and save £100?
no brainer right?
i could buy another ssd with that saving, or save the money and put it toward another 670

At ~£370 for the windforce I may just pick up the one this week, one next week for my birthday 
~£339 for reference is still good value IMO, as Gibbo said, a mild OC and you have a 680 for £100 less...
Temps look nice and low on the Windforce, hope to see them sub 40c load temps under water
