Hi,
I want to buy a GTX 670, and plan on overclocking it like I did with my 6870s.
My 6870s are stable (with minor voltage increase) at 1005/1225, which is the max I was able to and still maintain temperatures below 85C in furmark. Also, the cards turned off at anything higher when doing the unigine tests, and around test 15 or so would crash. Considering they're reference with no aftermarket anything, I'd say that's pretty good!
Anyway, I've been looking at some of the 670s and I was wondering which one would be best for overclocking.
I looked at the EVGA FTW version, but I am a little wary of the factory overclocked moniker. My friend had an ASUS overclocked card that had to be downclocked... which kind of defeated the purpose of buying an overclocked card. Also, its reference so the fans are probably loud. My 6870s are unbearable over 35% fan speed (but this keeps them quite cool, with the top card max temp about 70-75C in bf3). Still, really annoying.
The Galaxy 670 loooks nice but how good is it for overclocking? Is the aftermarket cooling on it good or is it just for show?
Also, is it true that with the 600 series all you do is increase the power target or w/e to 125% and work from there? It seems much easier than finding the right voltage as it looks like the card automatically selects the appropriate voltage.
So please let me know which brand/model 670 is good!
Thanks
