Planning to get a pair of Gigabyte 670's in SLI, is there any issues with the cards or not?
Its kinda funny that GTX 680's are somewhat hard to find but GTX 670's are plentiful in stock, not to mention the 670 performs very close to the 680 and is cheaper too.
Mine kick ass! No issues. Run cool. I run them at +60 on the core & +400 on the memory in SLI, though totally not necessary. Every game gets demolished by these cards, including BF3, at 2560x1600. In fact, two of them is probably overkill but I like 4xMSAA.Quote:

I had a pair of Gigabytes in SLI but ended up returning one... my single 670 WindForce OC @ 1354mhz core full-time & +250 on the memory runs BF3 obscenely well, the only benefit I had from two was using 4x MSAA instead of none (I use post-process low now), & HBAO instead of SSAO... two is definitely overkill @ 2560x1600 even (which is what I play with as well). I run 70-80fps most of the time with minimums of ~60fps in 64-man conquest servers. Other games get great frames and quality also... I really intended to go for SLI again as I have the past few generations, but this time it was really TOO much power for me (I don't need 90fps with 100% visual quality when I can get 98% @ 70-80fps... and that's in my most demanding titles, only a handful). I'm still surprised Gigabyte let their custom-cooled OC version run the same MSRP as reference 670's.Quote:

Yeah... the extra bit of quality is definitely nice :D always.
The gtx 670 is an awesome card but where are the rest of Nvidia's cards? I thought when they launch a new generation of cards they're supposed to have gtx 660, 660 ti, 650 ti and maybe even a 665 gtx that has a chance to unlock to a 670? I'm really disappointed, there's hardly any mention of midrange budget cards and even if they do launch them, i'm thinking they will be in short supply like the rest of there 28nm cards. This is a really craptastic launch.
