Best 670?

[InfernoUk]

Hey guys

So my card has died and i am replacing it with a 670 as that seems the best card in that price range.

My question is which do i go for? I dont really overclock graphics as they tend to run everything i want but i do still want the option and whatever else sets the cards apart. I was thinking of an EVGA Super Clocked as it was around £350.

Any others to look at? can price stretch a bit if its really worth it

Thanks!

If that's the only games that you play, you need nothing like a 670.

Indeed.

7850 would be perfect.

i want the best i can afford, its not all i play. its all i play at the moment.

Surely the best, unless your talking 4gb vram or overclocking capability, is http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-280-AS ?

yea this is why im asking, just because it costs more is it necessarily better considering i haven't seen it recommended everywhere

10/10 here, there are other reviews around. The problem is that it's voltage is locked or something so isn't very good for overclocking, hence why the windforce is raved about here. Depends what you are wanting to do with it (overclock wise). If you don't want to overclock yourself then this is already overclocked at factory as faster than a 680 while getting very positive reviews for other factors such as temperature/noise level.

Voltage is locked on all Kepler cards so far due to the way the boost works. I would get the Gigabyte WF.

yea seems everywhere is between the Asus and the windforce

Better warranty, smaller cooler.

yea there seems to be argument for both with neither having a totally killer reason to pick it from my reading, other than i can get the TOP version of the Asus card with all the overclocks done. no idea about OCing the Windforce though

Gibbo got his to 1400 IIRC

ah right, is that all stock then? as said above the voltages are locked so wasnt sure how far it would OC before being limited

Can't remember, sorry

no problem, im far from a master OCer so not sure if id be able to push the gigabyte further than the factory OC asus. £50 price difference between the two though

Didn't realise it was £50

Deffo the WF then
