Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 OC 980MHZ 2GB 6.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card

Comment:
This is my first ever GFX card purchase and I was really amazed.Been debating between AMD and Nvdia and obviously nvdia won me over on their new 600 series because of low power consumption and physX. Smooth when playing games at max setting. Good eye candy graphics.I have been running this card for 2 months had ZERO issues and i am pleased with my purchase. Brought this with the Borderland 2 promo which was really nice add-in. Would recommend this to anyone.A little thing I notice is a lot of heat is generated when playing games, just need good airflow in your case.

Normally I choose the budget versions of Nvidia's card (6800, 7800, 460, etc) since the bang for the buck is usually pretty good with those. Reading reviews on the 660's was kind of disappointing though. I chose the 670 because performance was quite a bit better, very close to 680 in fact but without the higher price tag. Why I chose this specific make and model was because I had read nothing but good things about it's heatsink. I wasn't disappointed in either regard. It's very fast, runs cool (never went above 60c), and is definitely quiet. Couldn't ask for more.

I just passed from my old imac 24 inch to my new beast. Mounted wiht this GPU and a I-3770k!This card can run evrything i own as game bottleneck!I even try to OC it a bit wiht MSI afterburn, to learn. I was able to push it over 1300 mhz stable. So i know when later on i will need that power i will be able OC it a bit more!This card stay cold as hell, at 1300 and Furmark for 15 min it's was at 55c whole time... Keep in mind i got a Haf932 Advanced

Switched out my GTX 460 SLI set up and wow what a difference! This card kicks azz. If you are looking for the best bang for your buck this baby is it. Runs cool and quiet with the factory fans and the performance for gaming is a big plus. Get this card and you won't be disappointed. Thank you NCIX

Moved from an ATI Saphire HD 5970, 2GB, dual GPU card to this. First, many games that I could not play now work as they should (Sega All Star Racing, NFS Shift 2 Unleashed). The mammoth 5970 had massive stuttering with the "old" Sega game, and the cockpit view couldn't be used with NFS as it was too dark. With Borderlands 2, I had to turn the resolution way down to up many of the settings (the new card plays it well at high resolution and lots of stuff maxed out). All the games that I did play with the 5970 perform better with the 670OC (expected better performance with Crysis though).Always wanted to try Nvidia...so far, so good. Have had good luck with Gigabyte mobos, so I'm glad to give their GPU a shot.

Stress testing this card out of the box, it never got above 62c. The cooler on this is amazing, and the fans are the quietest I've ever had. Throwing BF3 on ultra, starcraft 2 on ultra, or any other game I own, this card throws out a solid 60 fps+ at all times.

Decided to switch out my GTX 480's SLI for 2 of these bad boys. The performance is astonishing. Thank goodness i don't ever have to feel like i'm in a sauna everytime I play a graphic intensive game. Definitely worth 5 stars!

Comment:
bf3 60 fps on default ultra 1080p on 1 card. thats good :D

Comment:
if you are looking for a cheap 670 with a good cooler, this one is probably my go to. if you would like more voltage control, id suggest the msi PE 670. otherwise, get it. cant wait to save up and get another one for SLI

Comment:
Excellent price to performance ratio and Gigabyte's aftermarket cooler does a great job of keeping the card's temperature down even when under load

Comment:
I's a good upgrade from a gtx 560 ti!

Comment:
I went from a GTX 560 Ti playing BF3, fallout, diablo 3, mass effect 3...To this GTX 670 and even games that were smooth anyways, (60+ fps) it was still noticably smoother as even slight stutter was gone. This was a massive jump in performance.Don't forget to turn on Adapative Vsync and FXAA to get the most of this cards. No need to overclock its awesome at OC stock.

Comment:
670 is the way to go!Among 670's I really like Gigabyte's because it has lower price but better cooling than most other ones.

Comment:
I am nothing short of impressed from this graphics card. It has taken any and every game I've thrown at it while still performing well above 60-80 fps.Gigabyte's windforce cooler is phenomenal! It runs sooo quiet while keeping the card so cool. I personally like the blue PCB as it compliments the theme and compliments the blue theme in my case.The price that these 670s sell for is such a steal for what they can do. Benchmarks I've seen have them beating out the performance of a 680... for $100+ less?!? Yup.Overclocking -- that's a different level of amazing altogether. I am able to get up to 1355MHz/6.6GHz stable on a regular basis, while on lower temperatures core clock ramps up to 1380+ so I'm happy I got a good card!

I purchased this card as an upgrade from a GTX580 and it IS an upgrade !!! This is a very fast video card. The ability to run 4 monitors at the same time on a single card is a very welcomed feature.Should be mentioned that it runs very quietly.

Comment:
Right out of the box, it worked fantastic. I been running over 50 hours of BF3 on ultra setting at 1900x1200, and I have yet to see this card go over 50% GPU load. And Gigabyte really did awesome job with their 3 WF fans; the card barely reaches 50 'C while heavy gaming.If you are looking for awesome gaming experience, look no farther. This card is for you.

Comment:
This card is really quick and 99.9% of the time extremely quiet. Infact almost inaudible if fans are set to the default of auto. The card remains pretty cool and under benchmarking the card doesnt go above 60 C. The fans are almost never needed at 100% but if they ever are needed they are pretty loud. This card maxes out every game on the market at 1920x1200. Ive owned the card for about a month and have not had any problems...yet. Enjoy your purchase.

Glad I bought this $399.99 on launch day because this card is well worth $30 more for the non reference cooling design. I OC it maybe 10% more clock speed and it still give good temp and fans are very quiet. The card is kind of long compared to stock design so keep that in mind. A little problem I have with this card. I have a Lian-Li case with tool-less arms to hold my video card in place. The gigabyte gtx670 has a cool looking metal plate near the rear exhaust and it kind of blocked the arm from closing and holding the card. I had to nudge the card up, close the arm half way, nudge the card back down and finally it worked.

I have had huge problems with this card. I would play skyrim maxed out one minute the next minute it would be unplayable. At first I thought that they were immature drivers but after benchmarking the card I noticed the score in futuremark was half of what I had on average. I would have gave this card 5 stars if I didn't have any issues.

Comment:
Awesome card, Haven't got any game that lags with everything to maximum at 1920x1080. Have not noticed fan noise at all so far.

Comment:
This was my first upgrade since AMD HD4890, the performance leap is over 300% in minimum framerates, games are all playable now at 2560x1440 resolution now, amazing upgrade. I just wish prices were lower, like previous gens.

Comment:
I like my computer very quiet and this card hardly makes more noise under load. If you can afford it, I don't think there is anything better right now (May 2012).

This factory OC'd card performs as well as a STOCK GTX 680, which costs $100 more. Not only does this card have the best performance for its price range, it can be considered one of the best price/performance cards in the market. Also, the cooling on this card is excellent, some have reported oc's up to 1300MHz, an over 40% increase! The card uses an 8-pin pci-e in place of one of the 6-pins on the reference board, but the extra power usage is very minor. As this card has a full length pcb, it can be a tough fit in some smaller gaming rigs but most full sized cases will not have a problem. Also, the power pins are located at the end of the board instead of in the middle like the reference board, so routing your cables is easier.

Comment:
Unprecedented performance from a supposedly mid range card. Gaming at 2560x1600, this card does not disappoint. SLI scaling is extremely well and totally worth it for > 1080p gaming.Need not think twice, just buy it.

Comment:
I mostly play Battlefield 3 on ultra (1080p) while disabling MSAA, Ambient occlusion and motion blur. I really don't notice or pay attention to these effects too much, and while I could still average high frame rates with them on, getting rid of them allows me to stay over 60fps in even the most intense scenes, going into the >100fps range often (Although I don't have a 120hz monitor, the high frame rate still makes the game feel much more responsive)While the fans aren't exactly silent under load, the noise is very acceptable, especially compared to the reference cooler that I tried from a different brand, while staying below 70c. The only reason I can hear it is because I try to make my computer almost silent, to the point that I can hear the hard drive idling and a very faint high frequency noise coming from the monitor over most of the fans in my system. Most people definitely won't notice.
