Hi there

I've got short and long ones using GTX 680 PCBs in stock.

They shall be over £300 though folks, but not much and damn they are quick! Bencher one today against a 680, I was impressed.

^fixed

Oh good! I like like LONG ones

Any sli testing Gibbo? Thinking that two of theese will be a nice sweetspot, low power use and hopefully cool running.

Hehe, got Asus DirectCU II, EVGA, Gainward, Palit, MSI OC, Gigabyte WindForce 3X, KFA STD & EX OC and more in stock.

KFA one for me then. Save me a keyring!

I'm wondering why anyone would pay over £300 for a 670 when surely a better option would be a 7970 for a few quid more.

Depends on how much it's over £300.

If performance is inbetween the 7950 and 7970, and price is too, then no reason why people wont buy them.

Well I only use Heaven and done testing at 1920x1080 4X/4X and certainly not much in it, the 670 shall be an amazing card for the money.

I know the link was posted but I'm guessing not many people actually looked at it, so here are the pictures.

680 is out of my price range and TBH I will never pay that kind of cash for a GPU again as I have done in the past. I maybe tempted at £320 or less as it does look to have decent performance at stock so with some overclocking it should rock.

ya Im in the same boat - was on the fence about spending for a 680 but a 670 seems about right -

I think the 670 will be the one for me. I can feel a new BenQ/3D Vision 2 bundle coming on as well. And lets face it, probably a 256GB Crucial M4.

LMFAO.....

I still can't get over how small this cards pcb is especially as the performance is rumoured to be around a gtx580. It looks more like a sound card or a low end gpu. Very impressive.

Is the 7970 a better option though?

My personal issues with NVIDIA and the issues that TweakTown on a whole have pushed right aside, the GEFORCE GTX 670 is just an awesome video card that is going to be a serious headache for AMD. The performance of the video card is really quite crazy and the fact that this is the second option for NVIDIA when it comes to single GPU video cards is bad for AMD when it has no issue competing with their strongest option; the HD 7970.

Chortle, a coffee choke on that one, and it came out my nose :s

RavenXXX2 · 5 May 2012 at 12:24

It's up there with a 680, guess it must have a decent boost clock set, looking good.

RavenXXX2 · 5 May 2012 at 12:27

Yeah nearly 1000 core with boost.

lol those results are pretty awesome. Let's hope Nvidia don't get greedy with the pricing, a decent price and maybe we'd see some serious price drops by ATI if those TweakTown numbers are anything to go by.

3D Mark 11 > 7970
Unigine Heaven > 7970
HAWX 2 > 7970
Mafia 2 > 7970
AVP ~ 7970
Just Cause 2 > 7970
Metro 2033 ~ 7970
DiRT3 > 7970
FarCry 2 > 7970

I think we should treat the tweak-town preview as FUD.

One look at the Unigine benches should tell you all you need to know about this advert masquerading as a "Preview".

Wait until someone decent has reviewed it properly.

my £470 MSI TF3 680 is getting DSR'ed for sure now

2x GB Windforce 3x 670 should do nicely

I really did lol at them.

I might just cancel my his 7850 order and get this if it's out next week. Just need OCUK to do some launch day specials.
