OhI thought you meant heavy throttling.
Its not heavy throttling but heaven tends to crash and stutter when it starts to throttle unless I up the fan speed to 100%

I was in the same boat, the problem is the 2GB frame buffer of the 670's unless you have the 4GB version.
The MSI 970 is about 10-20% slower than my old SLI 670's
Both at 1200p with Ultra Preset and TressFX enabled.
MSI 670 OC SLI min/avg/max (1280/1241Mhz 7000/6700Mhz)
Tomb Raider 68 95 140
MSI 970 Gaming OC min/avg/max (1530Mhz 7800Mhz)
Tomb Raider 60 80 104
I am planning on getting a 1440p or perhaps 4k monitor a little later so 4GB frame buffer is more important to me. I am also planning on just adding another 970 later.
Resale value for the 670 is in the toilet
Hope this helps you decide.

So basically its best to get shot of my 670's now if I plan to lose less in the long run?
Yes.
Wow thanks Flakey. There is just no way I can see that card fitting in, it is a few mm to long and then it would be touching that case fan even if it did which can't be to healthy.
I sent a web note to OCUK yesterday and (is Gibbo Gibson?) got back to me today. They have swapped the G1 for the MSI gaming card instead which is 269mm so leaves me enough room to fit it.
Shout out for sorting that for me OCUK thanks a bunch! It is really appreciated. I am also extremely glad someone brought it to my attention. I have Tuesday off which is ETA of the card as well, I think I would have cried upon getting it and it not fitting.

Well I enquired about sending my Galax cards back and swapping for Inno3D but have been told that I will be liable for up to 25% of the as items have been taken out of the packaging (as per new laws). Unable to be more specific until they would have the cards back.
Let me know how your returns go...

Depends which profile your card is using.

Up to 25%??
They said up to 20% for me. But I just managed to get a full refund.

I have just ordered a Gigabyte G1 for delivery tomorrow. How do I overclock a graphics card?
Once I have it stable can you write it to the bios or do I have to always run third party software?
