Member Reviews: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5

I got the first one in November and the second in December. These cards are very good, they were even considered the best overall 670 model by Tom's Hardware. I have successfully overclocked them to 1293/7010 and they tear anything up that I throw at them, except... The game's with tessellation really do not seem to like nVidia based GPU's, when ever I implement tessellation in a game it becomes less fluid than usual. When the fans reach 95% they get quite loud, but usually don't need to(set to 68C to avoid down-throttling @70C) but when I am running Heaven or Valley benchmark they really get hot and loud.

Here is the review of the Gigabyte GTX670 Windforce video card with 4 Gb of RAM: http://www.overclock.net/t/1328607/gtx670-vs-gtx570-benchmarks-20-games-tested-on-1920x1200

Ive had 2x of these monsters runnig in sli for a couple weeks now and i couldnt be happier. Let me say first that prior to this i was running dual 7850s and even with one 670 there is litterally no comparison. For a week i only had a single 670 and the capabilities astounded me. Comparing the dual 7850s to a single 670. This is what i found. The 670: 1. Ran cooler then the dual 7850s (with 3 monitors plugged into it) 2. There was significant less screen tearing 3. I could push games to slightly higher settings (this is with a single gpu against 2) As well after being a longtime diehard for amd nvidia has really won me over with these gpus and their responsive time for new drivers and...

I've been using the Gigabyte 670 for the last 3 weeks and I can not be happier. After selling my 590, I had my doubts over the 670 series GPUs. Few benchmark sites out there claimed that the 670's potential was almost as fast as the 590 in certain games and at first I did not believe this, but after using the GPU myself, I am not really missing my 590 even a bit.   I have over 80 titles on Steam and been playing few of them frequently lately. The GPU intensive games I play are Alan Wake, Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2. I can easily say that when everything is maxed at 1080p resolution, i rarely go below 60 on all these titles. This is an incredible feat for a single card, single...
