GTX670 4GB with real PCB info thread

This card sounds interesting Cleeecooo.

'ZOTAC adds three cards to its lineup, every card is slightly different. The 670-2GD5 Extreme Edition features full length PCB with large dual fan cooler, which is 2cm higher than reference one. ZOTAC claims that this cooling solution will provide up to 38% better cooling performance. This model is also equipped with OC+ overclocking module. Card requires 8+6 pin power connectors. Card has default set of display outputs. ZOTAC decided to equip this model with additional backplate. Card is set to 1100 MHz base clock and 1202 MHz boost clock. Memory is overclocked to 6600 MHz.'

Drool................LOL.:D:D

That does sound nice!:eek:

Shame only 2gb :(

And lol elmuzzy :p

EK may do blocks for the current 670s

According to cooling configurator the short PCB blocks are 'coming soon'.

You never know cleee, maybe EK will over-size the blocks? Giving an overhang like the stock coolers have, put a backplate on no-one would ever know :)

Logic tells me that there surely must be 4GB 680 PCB cards in the pipeline though. If anything for the sake of a decent custom cooler...

I hope they oversize their blocks :D

But i doubt it. The whole reason for putting these crappy PCB's out is simply to be able to save money. A nickel base is pretty expensive so if they can still charge £90 for a tiny thing, EK will.

EVGA aren't making a 4gb FTW version of their 670 :(
 
wow, I would have thought a 4GB FTW being on a 680 PCB would be a given.

From looking at the 680 4GB line up, seems a 4GB Phantom may be something to keep an eye on?

What would look incredible on those 670 short PCB's, would be if EK made an overhang made purely of plexi to allow water to move through. Save on nickel costs, add to looks ;)

hat would be amazing, but i doubt EK'll do that :9

The FTW is on a 680 PCB, just no 4gb versions :(

I', keen on sticking with EVGA due to their warranty
 
Just sit tight I would say, though no 4GB FTW are listed anywhere it doesn't mean its not in the pipeline. The 680 4GB FTW cards aren't due in stock until the end of the month, so maybe EVGA are just waiting to clear the backlog of 680 orders before killing the SMX unit to turn some into 670's :)

IF they do make one, what price range do you think they are going to fit in? As it is the FTW 4GB 680 is £600, while the 4GB 670 SOC is £420. Around £450 for the FTW then?

Nah, I was busy chasing te important people for theirs ;)

Anyways, back in topic, it's the length that's the main issue. I'm used to handling long cards. 6.5" is simply too small for a graphics card.

It's as big as it needs to be for the thing to work! Supposedly any revision of the 680 will have the same small layout. This is a positive development in graphic card engineering,most of us would argue that cards have been far too big for the last 6 or 7 years. You guys are wired!

I'm not denying that. But Nvidia are trying to pass off a mid end card as a high end. If they're going to do that atleast have the decency to make it look high end!

That's partly why I'm waiting myself. I get the feeling these cards were designed for a lower price range.

I'm also looking at 4GB cards and I was wondering if there is apart from the size any other difference between the short and long pcb?

Apparently the ability to overclock is better on the larger PCB. I too am looking for 4gb 670's and am pretty disappointed with the lineup.

I did see zotac will have a 4gb 670, tho i forgot where i saw it :(
