just seen a review on another site that showed that the 670 is a very impressive bit of gadge and performs similarly to then7970 at a similar price. plus the fact the thing is tiny is cool. i cant wait to see a real review in the form of one of toms videos. i can check all the oter sites in the world but unless the ttl says yay or nay thats when i will consider something lol

The 670 is the best card on the market at the moment in my opinion obviously the 680 will clock higher but considering the 670 is £100 cheaper and overclocks faster than a stock 680 I know which one I would buy.

The numbers on the other sites don't lie though dude, especially Anandtech, i'll still watch/read the OC3D review but the proof is out there

The stats I've seen so far for the 670 are quite significant - I'm just curios to see how the competing prices adjust, if they don't, the 670 will sell like hot-cakes.

That's ifthe stats are accurate...

Indeed it does seem good, better power consumption and temps than the 7970 to, When it comes to comparing graphics cards I look at the benchmarks from games that I would actually play and according to anandtech the 670 beats the 7970 in all of them

I'm waing to see the 3rd party efforts that don't use the extra bit at the back for cooling. Potential size if this card, non ref, is interesting.

Picture I saw of the asus direct cuii a while ago had full sized cooling, but this is an immediate reference card bolt-on. .. perhaps a Zotac, 3 slot depth, single fan cooler. Add a matx mobo.. hmm nice small cased gaming computer.

Nicer still would be a firm willing to put a fan at the back that blows directly out the case. Think you can get 80cm over 3 slots. Look odd maybe, but the rest of the bits in your case would be happy.

I want to see this card with a waterblock on it. Would only be 1 slot and very short. Would be awesome in some of those tiny ITX builds.

too bad the power connectors are in a horrible place I may get a 4gb evga signature edition if they clock better than a 680

Excellent card, but gutted because I had to upgrade my card when I did so went for the GTX 680.

If this had been out at that time I would of got the 670 instead.

Anyone looking for a decent card to invest in now should certainly be buying this card.
