And overclocks much better. Not sure if you can oc the 670 at all, with those extreme PCB temps that other review was showing (IF accurate). Also, I think the voltages are still locked.

my gigabyte oc gtx 670 overclocks to 1302 boost clock and bests my radeon 7970 maxed oc at 1250mhz core by over 200 3d marks without even getting warm , not to mention battlefield 3 runs alot better on the gtx 670 for me at stock.
