GTX 670 or GTX 760

A new 670 for the £200 mark? Hmm, I know of an Asus one online, brand new for £195, the 2GB version however
 
There is no way i would pay £200 for a GTX 670 now. They go in the MM for £130 second hand and should not be more than £160 brand new.

Have a look at this review of the gigabyte gtx760 windforce 3x oc . it has the same performance as a gtx670 and even beats it in a couple of games. it's the same story in this review. Once overclocked it beats the GTX680. It's hardly a slow card. You could always sell the two games it comes with to recoup some money.

If you could stretch to £236 i would get this Powercolour R9 280x which beats both.
 
Indeed, secondhand is the only way to get a cheap 670 theese days. Sold my two gigabyte wf models on here recently.
 
Hmm, okay. I'll be on the lookout for a used one, since I don't have access to the MM :) Already have been on the lookout for a couple of days, one 4gb Asus one popped up but someone got it for £1 more than me -.-

I think the £236 is a bit too much for me, sorry :(

edit: oh goddamn, posted again instead of edit, could someone edit it for me if poss/they see this? :)
 
£200 for a 670 is still reasonable but only if your talking the 4GB card brand new. considering the price they used to be at AND the fact they are better than a 760, although most 670s at stock wont be beaten by a 760(as the 760 has overclocked memory) but this is overclockers! we don't run stock. My card runs at 1202/7008 defo beats any 760 hands down.
 
The two reviews i posted above clearly show that the two overclocked 760's i linked to are on a par with the 670 and even beat it in a couple of games. Yes you can overclock the 670 to get more performance but you can do the same with the 760 which clocks even further in the reviews.

OP, have you seen the MSI R9 280X Gaming Edition OC gibbo has on today only for £220? That is a very good price and is a better card than anything Nvidia has at that price point.

Same as how the 270x is supposed to be on par with a 7950...but the 7950 pull ahead once properly overclocked. The GTX670 and GTX760 are basically just same GPU but with the GTX760 got more cores disabled. How far are the max overclock for the two cards is down to the silicon lottery (and PCB design)...for every example you can find a GTX760 clocking higher than a random GTX670's overclock, there would be other examples of GTX670s which would clock higher than the GTX760.
 
Yep bit of a lottery with overclocking. On my 2 670's one hit 130 core/760 memory. The other could only manage 80 core/600 memory.

means nothing without your K-boost value buddy the memory clocks you got where nice though :)
 
Looking at some 670's on the cheap right now, hopefully I can pick one up with a good deal!
 
Right, I have access to a 6950 2GB for <£100. Is this worth the punt or is a 670 for ~£140 worth the extra money?
 
Well it's harder to find a cheap one than I thought it would be xD The last few I tried to get went above my original budget by sometimes a fair bit - there's still a few more out there but still £10-15 more than my original budget - more of a fuss than I guessed lol
 
Well I literally cannot find one for a good price; does anyone know where I can get a cheap one used? Don't think this would be a competitor-kinda thing as it's used stuff :P
