***Official GTX 670 thread***

Do you mean Gigabyte's motherboards?

Both to be fair. The blue heatsinks on the p8 boards are pretty cruel on the eye though.

Then why buy a blue PCB Asus motherboard? They have decent price black ones in the sabretooth range, and rampage series are black PCBs with red slots.

Id love black PCB and red cooler Nvidia cards, but that only ever happens on AMD.

Really not sure about this now. With GTX 680s going for only £407.99, if OCed versions of the GTX 670 come in at high 300s in price, I'm not so sure I wouldn't just spend an extra £20-30 to just get a 680 and just overclock that.

In my mind, the attraction to a GTX 670 would be for OCed versions to hit the £350 mark max and reference cards around £320/330.

I wish nvidia came in black and red... would be so much nicer... black and green is still nice but...

Hard to get Nvidia cards to colour match my R3E, unless I get pure black PCB and cooler cards (my silver MSI coolers clash horribly, I need red coolers oh black PCBs )

I'm not keen paying out £300+ for something that looks like it's been hacked together in 10 minutes, for one it will look naff in cases that have windows, secondly there must be some compromises in regards to power delivery. I will be very surprised if these clock as well as the none reference cards.

Same, I think we should wait for full length PCB EVGAs.

Get the varnish out

what are your thoughts on the palit 670?

 

[opethdisciple]

Aesthetics dont bother me too much.

Its performance/price that matters.

Complete opposite xD

Aesthetics + Noise/Price that bothers me xD

Although it has to be an upgrade in performance before I'll get something else xD

Another blue pcb. Nooooooooooo

Buy a £300+ motherboard and then say that when you have to fill it with blue PCB graphics cards

 

[King Damager]

I guess a slight way around the Blue PCB, for the 680 PCB ones would be to buy the EVGA 680 backplate....

Hmmm, if you want to use stupid amounts of AA, you want a 4 Gb version

But I can see any difference in the pics so my mediocre levels of AA will suffice on a 2 Gb.

I am sure Malx could paint them in whatever colour you like!!

 

[crinkleshoes]

Do not want.

I mean what's the point of the smaller PCB with a full length cooler......

Better cooling than a short PCB with a short cooler

There are actually electro-something or other paints you can get, which you can use on PCBs.

They're just not called varnish...

what's this pcb thing, i could do with a good laugh
