Agree, the above.
Really quiet, runs really cool with great performance. I myself have no plans to O/C - and at this rate do not need to as have not found anything to really stretch it.

You do know where you are?. *looks at site name then looks back at Philmo
If there's no need to overclock then there is no point. Also when you could do with that extra bit of power you then get the enjoyment of fiddling with your card. Well maybe I'm strange and enjoy these things but hey ho.

Funny how easy it is to advise and go to bits when the choice is yours
I honestly cant hear the thing

Not eveyone is as mad as you,
also you'd never catch me overclocking

Nice one
.It is absolutely silent. I've never experienced gaming as pleasurable without my headphones before and I don't think I will ever again. It's that quiet I didn't even know the fans were running so the cooling must be magnificent.
Have you overclocked it yet or like Philmo, do not feel a need to even try with the games you're playing?. Oh one more question, do you know what is your boost and max boost yet?.

Its running as it came from the box.
Had to build another PC up yesterday for it, so that took my time up.
Still very fast at that. I'll look forward to see what you can get out of it over time, when you get some that is

No that's not why they have more VRAM. They have more VRAM as it was 1.5GB or 3GB
Even in 2560*1440 you are GPU limited and VRAM doesn't come into it.
I would buy the 7970 in your position - overclocking doesn't raise noise that much if you buy one with a good cooler.
What's the point in the ram then? Vega did a video showing four 680s running out of VRAM and he was playing on a huge resolution on Battlefield 3 higher then 4960x1600 and when the ram ran out the game dropped into single digit FPS.
I prefer AMDs drivers over Nvidia's.
Soldato
Yes but with 4 GPU's he had the GPU horse power to push that resolution and drive the settings which exceeded 2GB at that resolution.
With 1 or 2 GPU's he would not have enough GPU horse power and would have had to lower settings to achieve playable FPS anyway and such drastically lower the VRAM requirement in the process.
At your resolution in BF3 you will run out of GPU power a long time before you run out of VRAM.

Ah that makes sense, sweet that opens up the 670 2GB to me but is AMD better at multimonitor as the 7970 smashed the 680 in a lot of games in wide res.
