GTX 670 review

http://wccftech.com/nvidias-gtx-670-...-early-launch/

According to tweak-town, this card uses less power than pitcairn AND trades blows with the 7970...

So much for Pitcairn being more energy efficient than kepler.

[RPGWiZaRD]

If the tweaktown figures are accurate, didn't expect it to be quite neck and neck with HD7970 honestly, was expecting it to be more closer with HD7950 (but very slightly ahead in avg), nice!

I still hope $399 would be the final price, if those performance figures are true it could be priced up to $449 if Nvidia wants to but IMO $399 is the ideal target as the card is small (it has to be rather cheap to manufacture probably) and putting more of a price pressure on AMD instead of milking highest possible price point where the card would still sell would make more sense with the size of the card taken into concideration, would do more damage for the competitor.

$399 / 350~370 EUR is about the highest I would ever spend on a GPU so please make it happen Nvidia! ^^

I'm going to try to buy one direct from green-sum.

Same difference They are just going to have first crack at the original batch before Green-sum lists them.

Awesome, I didn't know the OCN project had borne fruit! THANK YOU for that link.

Yep, OCN has been filtering all posts that mention the website and new monitors for an unknown reason since it doesn't violate the auction-based website rule... I think they're just butthurt they didn't get cut in on the deal.

Technically speaking, wouldn't those monitors be compatible with 3d vision since they are 120hz?

[RPGWiZaRD]

I'd love IPS + 120Hz but at more reasonable resolutions that doesn't need constant $500 GPU upgrades to maintain a good FPS ratio required to really benefit from that 120Hz as I read that monitor can't support 120Hz in a lower res either so.

i didnt even think LCDs could do higher framerates at lower resolution, thought that was limited to how crts worked.

Is it confirmed that greensum will be selling them direct on ebay? Much prefer to buy that way if so.

No, it would still need 3d features built into the firmware. Even if it were possible the crosstalk would be horrendous. The pixel response time just isn't fast enough.

Yeah, I really was surprised by how much of a hit in performance my 680 took when going from 1080p to 1440. I've also become accustomed to a higher framerate no thanks to my 120hz display. Thats honestly one thing that I really do like about 1080p. I just wish that the 27" 3d vision displays weren't so expensive.

No it doesn't. Their consumption figures are a total mess. I think your'e looking at one of the whack OC model figures

It actually shows it using more power than a Diamond HD7970, which would be hard to believe

Yeah but buying off eBay is easy, I don't have a 120hz forum account and have to send $450 to him too?? If green-sum has them I will buy off them.

[The Jesus]

Theoretically, yes. A member on OCN (HyperMatrix) attempted it with a 3D Vision kit, but the monitors have to be certified by Nvidia.

Lol, sorry, I don't have that resource :P

Surprise! Lol. Nah, they've had 120Hz LCD for awhile, all of the 3D monitors have to be.

He's going to be selling them on his own website (no idea on a link). Not positive on eBay.

Its the same thing honestly. They're both just going to be forwarding the money to the company, neither is making a profit on this model.

GTX670 stabs the back of GTX680...

I'll buy one if the price is right, they look amazing so far.

[Kallenator]

Really really small, this is very cool, water cooling kits will be very cheap for those! I just hope they haven't nerfed the power supply on them!

[JaD]

It's literally HALF length, what do you think?

[Manicdan]

that actually didnt answer the question at all. i was quoting this:

... as I read that monitor can't support 120Hz in a lower res either so.

to which i asked if any lcd could even run faster by outputting a lower res, to which i dont think any do (which all crts could do)

[kgk]

I'm not big on 3D stuff/optics so correct me if I'm wrong but in 3D displays isn't the total Hz split since each eye is effectively only receiving half of the monitor's refresh rate? So that's still only a 60Hz effective, just in 3D. That's why 3D has to have a lower baseline refresh since otherwise even people with the worst eyesight would notice flicker on a 60Hz 3D display.

I don't think I even see 3D televisions at the local electronics store with less than 200Hz (granted they don't display anything higher than 1080p)

GTX 670 SLI

[highoctane]

Now if someone can figure out how to cram the 670 down to a half height card by lengthening it, would make for a mean slim entertainment/htpc.

Edit 1: Bummer, time to stop this habit of calling 'single slot' as a 'half height' also.

Edit 2: Not a half height but this should be doable, no?

[Manicdan]

^ half height so it fits in shorter cases, not a single slot card.

[andres1]

ehehe


I'm just thinking that I allways end up burning my shorter cards XD

[Kallenator]

Ain't thinking, hoping

[Mungri]

I have a pair of Zalman VF950s sat around to replace the stock cooler on the GTX 670 and get rid off all the extra cooler length. I'll only be buying one on launch though, and maybe a dual GPU version much later on when they go cheaper.

I'll go with EVGA because I want to change the cooler and they should last for a long time with adding more in SLI later on.
