Which GTX 670 ?

[arc@css]

(sorry for hijack) I currently have a 1G 5870 would I see a significant improvement with a GTX670 ?

I need a card with 2 DVI ports and DP as I run 3 screens (Dell 2007P - Dell 3008 - Dell 2007P) but only in desktop, I only game at 1920 x 1200 but I need the 3 screens for work. The lack of 2 DVI ports is what is putting me off the AMD stuff this time.

Big jump.

AS he says go with the AIB's that give you a decent warranty, if you not planning on watercooling the Gigabyte is worth the cost due to 3 year UK based warranty, GTX680 PCB and custom cooler. If you are watercooling you may want to get the cheaper of the cards or get an EVGA who allow you to watercool and not void the warranty.

Gigabyte are like EVGA for watercooling now btw. So long as the card is returned with the original cooler etc they pretty much accept it (minus if your coolant leaks all over it or something like that)

I just got the Palit Jetstream today and its very impressive, clocks faster than the gigabyte it stays cool not seen it get hotter than 76c yet, my previous card was a HD6970 and this GTX 670 is twice as fast

HD6970 BF3 Ultra 35fps - 45fps
GTX670 BF3 Ultra 80fps - 120fps

Tested on Metro 64

I've not done any overclocking and it clocks at 1175mhz

Is MSI Afterburner netter than Palit Thunder Master ?

The 5870 is a gigabyte also and its done a sterling job tbh its going to be put out to stud in the Wifes PC where it can relax a little

1175mhz is about normal, seen a few windforces including my own who's stock boost is 1180mhz.

Program wise i prefer afterburner for oc'ing, as it's basically what im so used to using.
