**OcUK GTX 670 IN STOCK & REVIEW PLUS AN EPIC PYRAMID/CASTLE HYBRID!!**

Great price on these OCUK but I can't help but feel sorry for the guys who have only just paid a £100 more for the GTX 680. Surely with this card being so close and in some cases matching the 680 it's a bit unfair to undercut there own product by such a margin so soon. I have sold on my gtx 680 now but I would be a bit ****ed off at them to be honest.

Early adopters always get ripped off, they're a captive market, manufacturers know this, they know there's always people with absolutely no patience and just have to have something shiny.

Not at all, this is always how it is. The second tier product always gives you 90% the performance at 75% the cost of the top tier.

Granted the 670 is 92/93% but I doubt any 680 owners would be that bothered, for me I had to go for the guaranteed performance as I was upgrading from a 480 SOC.

Gibbo, as you say at best 1400mhz on air for the 3x, could you take a stab in the dark as to what it would do under water?

Depends on how good it clocks. An exceptional card might JUST managed 1400MHz on air, a poor one maybe only 1300MHz. So a poor one 1400MHz on H20 and an exceptional one potentially 1500MHz. :)

In your OP you say "for 24/7 game running I'd settle for around 1250MHz/6600MHz." And thats for the windforce X3, i bought TWO KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 EX OC. Would you say i could get that clockspeed for both cards on mine or will mine get a little too toasty.

If your running SLI, I'd not clock them at all, let the BOOST do its stuff, which will probably still be an impressive 1200Mhz or so. :)
 
Gibbo, I have a few questions I'm looking to play Diablo 3 on Ultra and BF3 on Ultra because my current specs - X4 955 @ Stock, 8GB XMS3 Ram, HIS 1GB 6950 can't even sustain 60 FPS on low when playing bf3.

So was thinking about these 670's, Z77 board, I5 3570K with a nice 4.5Ghz overclock.

Then while reading your post I saw you say - "If it was my money, then I'd be buying either a Gigabyte GTX 670 WindForce 3X or a KFA2 GTX 670 EX OC, those are the two best cards for low noise and overclock without a doubt."

Then I thought I'll buy a Windforce 3X, is the boost just a press of a button and guaranteed? If so I'll purchase one right now because it's £360 and has the same performance as the GTX 680 ;D "But saying that the Gigabyte WindForce 3X was boosting as high as 1202MHz by itself
