Who has bought the Nvidia 670 cards

Well mine just arrived, and guess what? Brown packing tape slapped right around the box and right over the serial number white lables. Shoddy work. How do you stand if you want to return it under DSR?

Will the no not be on the card as well? I know my Gigabyte 460's had. As when i sold them i checked the numbers on the cards to ensure both were matching the numbers on the boxes prior to posting them out. A small tip for removing parcel tape, rub some white spirit on it to soften it up a bit. May help prevent the serial no sticker from peeling when you remove the tape.

They are worth what people are prepared to pay. It is called business. ;)

I always laugh when I read that its the most ridiculous saying ever invented.

I'm going to call gibbo and tell him I am only prepared to pay £50 for one of his 670's. That makes it worth £50.

:rolleyes:

Errrrm no.

He will not sell one to you at £50 as he is selling stock right now at £350, if demand dries up and he fails to sell any more he may want to lower the price and keep lowering the price until people start buying again, hence they are only worth what people are willing to pay.
 
I haven't, not worth the money Nvidia are charging, to me any way.

I will wait and buy a 680 when they become a bargain price like the 480 did and if they don't I will pick up a 7970 as the money worth is there with the AMD compared to Nvidia (Not that AMD are not ripping people off as well, it's just they are actually selling what they should be)

Oh .....

The answer to why performance is so handsome rests squarely with the GPU Boost function. We can log the exact GPU frequency on a per-second basis. Doing so shows our GTX 680 to run at an average GPU speed (GPU Boosted) of 1,097MHz in this title. The KFA², meanwhile, boosts to 1,189MHz, or over 90MHz higher, even though the two cards' GPU Boost is supposed to be similar.

Point here is that GTX 670 is actually running significantly faster than the average GPU Boost frequency mandated by NVIDIA - 1,189MHz (actual) vs. 1,085MHz (NVIDIA-specified) for this card - whereas the GTX 680 is closer to specification - 1,097MHz vs. 1,058MHz. It is this extra, behind-the-scenes boost that gives the GTX 670 greater-than-expected performance. KFA² benefits as a resul
