5.0 out of 5 stars B3F, Skyrim, Adobe? No problem. May 12, 2012

I have been waiting to purchase the GTX 680, but it has not come back in stock at MSRP prices. Even if it were in stock, I was feeling that dropping $500 on a card would be something I couldn't quite justify. Then I read the Toms Hardware review of the GTX 670 and was amazed at their results (this card performs within a few frames per second of the GTX 680, a card $100 more expensive). Judging by how quickly the GTX 680's went out of stock, I sought out and purchased this card from Amazon at $399 in less than 10 mins after finishing said article.

The card arrived today and I quickly swapped it out with my beloved Saphhire AMD HD 4870. My system booted with no problem and within a few mins I had the new GeForce drivers installed. For reference, I have an older quad core, the Q6700 @ 2.666 GHz, 8 GB DDR2 @800Mhz, and a 1920 x 1080 monitor.

PERFORMANCE

Skyrim: Amazing. Smooth. I felt the difference immediately; no more slight stutters when turning quickly. Fireballs, dragons, this card doesn't even blink.

BF3: Turned everything up to ultra/max. I flew a chopper over oil fields while tank and infantry fire crisscrossed the earth. Jets buzzed me trying to get an easy kill but I dodged them like a bad father evades child support. For the first time, Battle Field 3 feels fluid; it's like I'm playing a new game. So smooth, so crisp; it almost distracts you from the horror that is war.

Adobe CS5: After adding GeForce GTX 670 to a text file, Premiere pro implemented the Mercury Playback Engine for extra hardware acceleration during editing. I opened a project where as before my system would playback the video at only about 14fps; now, with this card, it plays back real time. I was able to quickly jog back and forth in the timeline without any major lags. Without any modification, Adobe Photoshop detected and implemented hardware acceleration. I cannot wait until I get CS6 and use photoshop for video effects, I imagine this feature will help immensely.

SOUND

Much quieter than my HD 4870. I imagine this is because the older GPU was working harder and thus auto-setting the fan higher. As it is with the GTX 670, I can barely hear comp when I'm wearing my Sennheiser PC350 headphones.

AWESOMENESS

Yes.

My advice; if you were waiting around for the GTX 680, buy one of these instead (provided you can find stock at MSRP price). Good luck solider, you'll need it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why did I ever buy AMD cards? May 15, 2012

By Ashleigh

Ok, so I will start by saying that I previously had a 6870 and promptly bought a 7870 when it was released. That was a big mistake. In fact, even owning the 6870 for so long and just accepting the problems with the drivers and slowdown in games was idiotic of me. So, I thought I got a bad 7870 because of the blue screens, freezing, slow performance, yada yada, so I got another one. Same problem. I got fed up with AMD and saw this card was just released. So, I got it in hopes that it would solve all my problems. It did, and it even solved problems I didn't even know I had. I always expected that slowdown and stuttering was just normal with graphics cards in some areas. Even in games like Skyrim the framerate would drop to 40 or even 35 sometimes with the 7870. Hell, I bought the 7870 to get rid of the same issues with my 6870. But finally, this 670 GTX made my games run smooth as silk and having a stable system is amazing again. I can't believe I ever jumped on the AMD bandwagon, and I don't think I ever will again.

So, now I will review the card. This eVGA card came nicely packaged with everything I needed. I like how it had two DVI slots, whereas my previous card seemed to have replaced one with displayport. The design looks like a VHS tape, and I was concerned that it only had one fan. However, it seemed to not matter in the end when I OCed it. This card is fast and quiet. Let me emphasize how quiet it is...you rarely hear it over your normal PC fans. My 5870 sounded like a jet taking off and my 6870 was a little better, but this thing outstanding as far as noise goes. As far as performance goes, it handles pretty much anything you throw at it so far. It's a little slower than the 7870 somehow in Crysis and Crysis Warhead, and I have no idea how that is possible. In every other game, it destroys the 7870 I previously owned for a few weeks.

The drivers are AMAZING! I am so happy to not have to deal with any sort of driver not responding issues, blue screens, etc. Those things became second nature to deal with when owning an AMD card. Finally, everything just works like it should. I installed the drivers that came on the CD and haven't even looked at them since. The games all run so smoothly, even when they dip below 60fps. Seriously, 40fps with NVidia drivers and 40fps with AMD drivers are not the same. AMD stutters and it is not smooth. NVidia is smooth, so I don't have to care if my games are dipping below 60fps because I don't notice.

I overclocked the card and tested the stability with the programs provided on the CD the card came with. I had to register to download the app to test the stability, but it wasn't a big deal. Overclocking is a little confusing with the boost, but I just took a stab in the dark and set my base clock to +100mhz and memory to +200mhz. It seemed to be stable after 1 hour of stability testing. I heard there were issues with increasing the voltage, but I didn't have to deal with that. The clock speed varies widely with this card depending on activity and if the boost is on, but it deals with it flawlessly.

This card is the best card I've ever owned. The bottom line is that it's a great price for what you get. Why get a 580 GTX when this has 95% of the performance? It stinks that they can't provide enough stock for the card, but it'll be worth the wait if you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dodged the bullet September 15, 2012

Ok bought one of these badboys to replace my MSI GTX 560 ti that suddenly died on me. This card was quite the improvement and definitely had me getting the frame rate I was missing in my gaming for titles such as Battlefied 3, Crysis 2, Dirt 3 etc. etc.

Note my monitor is a 27inch Asus with its native resolution being 1920X1200 this card is perfect for gaming at this resolution. Note you have to check out the performance of a card in relation to the resolution you play for and find one that is the sweat spot without breaking the bank.

After firing up the rig this card performed well, then it happened.....the screen went bonkers, random crashing to the desktop while gaming till eventual blue screens. So here I'm freaking out until I put in another card and no problems.

Thanks to Amazon I did and RMA and the replacement arrived and boy oh boy this thing has not disappointed me one bit!!!

Remember people it's electronics so anything can happen. I'm a happy camper and you will be also with this card for all your gaming needs!!
