-Great performing card but it is a little noisey even at idle

What a great card! Kudos at NCIX for delivering it to me from Vancouver in less than 24h at the release date!

Synthetic tests are not a perfect indicator, but will share this:We already have a Gigabyte GTX 680 (301.10 driver with no global or program specific changes made). The balance of the rig is an I5 2500K k 4.5GHz. FSB was not changed, all multiplier. 1600Mhz 8 Gb memory Z68 motherboard. We removed the 680 and installed the 670 (301.34 driver with no global or program specific changes made) without changing any graphic card clocks or voltages and these are some results:Furmark 1.8.5 Xtreme Burn in, Displacement, Post FX and 8XMSAA, full screen: score 3011, Min 44fps, Max 51fpsUnigine Default test 1920 x 1080 full screen: FPS 109.8, Score 2767, Min 40.2fps, Max: 227.3fps3DMark11 Performance test Score P8561, Graphics 8829, Physics 7981, Combined 7653The GTX 670 Stable overclock using Precision X: 122%, voltage at 1013mv, 1227MHz sustained core, "6.912" GHz memory, all tests 1920x1080: Furmark 1.8.5 Xtreme Burn in, Displacement, Post FX and 8XMSAA, full screen: score 3531, Min 53fps, Max 60fpsUnigine Default test 1920 x 1080 full screen: FPS 118.2, Score 2976, Min 49.3fps, Max: 235.1fps3DMark11 Performance test Score P9017, Graphics 9436, Physics 7998, Combined 7901For comparison, the GTX 680 has a stable overclock using Precision X: 132%, 1142 MHz sustained core, "7.052" GHz memory, all tests 1920x1080: Furmark 1.8.5 Xtreme Burn in, Displacement, Post FX and 8XMSAA, full screen: score 3067, Min 48fps, Max 52fpsUnigine Default test 1920 x 1080 full screen FPS 115.8, Score 2917, Min 29.4fps, Max 225.5fps3DMark11 Performance test Score P9061, Graphics 9547, Physics 7938, Combined 7777I wouldn't bother with a 680 at this point..

Bought this card to upgrade from my GTX 570 and Oh My! It's simply fantastic. It's 50%+ faster in most games, consumes 50W less power, and runs 10 degrees cooler. It's really quite incredible.With a bit of tweaking in the newest version of MSI Afterburner I was able to get +120MHz OC on the core (1087Mhz core/1166MHz boost) and +333MGz on the memory (for an effective 6.66GHz memory clock). This means my GTX 670 has clock speeds -faster- than those of a factory OC GTX 680. Very impressive.If you're on the fence about this card, don't be! It's a great buy and retails for $100 less than the GTX 680.Oh, and it can properly enter an idle state when running a 120Hz monitor - something the GTX 570 couldn't do. Dynamic boost tech FTW!

First I want to start by saying that it took less than 12 hours between the Checkout and the time Puro knocked on my door. Distance is Vancouver to Montreal, very impressed.I tested a little the Card so Far but I hit 9k in 3Dmark11. I dont think you can go wrong for such a powerfull card for 399$, I was first looking at the HD7850 but as soon as they announced the GTX 670 I changed my mind ! It is well worth the price difference (140$).
