GTX 670 for £263.99, good deal?

PhysX is important to some people and some would want it I guess. It was a valid point.

I don't tend to play loads of games, just a select few that I stick with. The ones I'm playing ATM and will be for some time use physx quite abit so a 670 was a good choice for me. I didn't want to compromise physx for maybe an extra 10-15fps by getting a 7970. You can always xfire/sli for more FPS but if your AMD And you fancy physx your stuffed.

I know you can run hybrid by using a nvidia card as a physx card but after the hassle of buying another card, increased power usage and temps its not worth it. Plus these hacks for hybrid Physx aren't guaranteed not to be patched up eventually.

and those games are?
 
Yes, in answer to OP it's a great buy. I suspect it is just a nVidia reference card with a sticker on, but that's no bad thing.

Great buy if you want nVidia that is.
 
If physx is required, just get an AMD card for better performance and an Nvidia 8800 for hybrid physx. Should be able to get a 7950 and 8800 for less than a 680 and have better performance ;)
