Buyers Remorse on 670

madtoady · 26 Jun 2012 at 14:42

I've just bought a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 Windforce 3X 2048MB for Not from OCUK you didn't! and I'm already getting buyers remorse. I'm upgrading from my very classy ATI 4890 that lasted me 3 years.

Help me get over my buyers remorse! Do any of you get it?

Going from 6970 CF to WF 670 SLI I have no remorse. Driver issues are about as common in each but the noise, heat and "bang for your buck" is excellent.

Currently only have a single card but it's doing such an amazing job all by itself that I did contemplate selling one.

It's a terrible upgrade, you'll hardly notice the difference.

I sort of know what you mean.
I got 2 (to replace 570 SLI) and I'm disappointed (rather than remorseful).
I was expecting them to be cooler, quieter and faster based on what I'd heard.
Already considering what to change them with...

Strange thread...Just load up a real demanding game like BF3, pump up to ultra and sit back and enjoy.

i bought the very same card last week and think its an amazing upgrade from what was an already great card (gtx560ti) . Worth every penny

Mate, if you have upgraded from the ATI 4890 to the GTX670, there is no need to have buyers regret. When you fire up BF3 and crank up the detail to max and you see how fast and smooth every runs you will be

from ear to ear.
I went from 2x6950 to 2x670 and the grin has not left my face.
The wife thinks I have having an affair :cool:

You could be, spending lots of time with 'someone' else rather than her

LOL - She does call my PC my 2nd wife

Ouch,

It's a gainward phantom too.

So, it's rubbish. But on the plus side it might hold more value for my imminent resale. *hopes*

I am building a new machine for my mate with one in. He is going from a Dual core Opteron with a 8800GTS to a i5-2500K with a GTX670, SSD etc in... I think he is going to have a bit of an accident in his pants..
