    Because I like the news section. I don't really bother with anything else. You might say it's mostly a matter of finding other uses with my money, like buying food and paying for rent. The amount of money I take home at the end of the month, on a grad student's pittance, isn't much. In fact, I would not have purchased one without my tax return.
    Why not buy a midrange card like a GTX560 or 6870, it would have been a massive upgrade, similar performance per watt, and an all around better bang for your buck?


    Also, all GTX670 models have garbage stock coolers, and higher idle wattage, while I purchased a Sapphire 7870 with a much better and quieter cooler for the same as MSRP.
    As mentioned above, buy a more common AIB model at the same price.

    Do you really not see the difference between someone saying "the card has similar performance to a card you could have bought a year and a half ago at a similar price but at least it draws a little less electricity" and "its faster than the competitions offering, cheaper, and draws less electricity while to boot"? Really?

    Because when the 6870 was on sale I did not have money? Also, pretty false on perf/watt.

    None in stock. At least, none price gouged.

    I have no idea what you're saying and where you're going with this. Why would I purchase a card that offers equivalent performance for my old 4850? I'm paying money to get the same card back?

    Sure would be nice to be able to read about 680/780 and less about dumb bickering back and forth.

    Three models in-stock, MSI one shows over 100+ in stock, and appeared several hours ago. GTX 670 has been in-stock at a few places most of the time, except for some few-hour spans and yesterday (which was a Sunday) since its launch. Lots of them to go around and they've been selling like hotcakes judging by how many have been coming in and going out.
