PNY GeForce GTX 670 VCGGTX670XPB Video Card

Comment:
I got this on sale after Christmas 2012. I used it for a while with the stock cooler but while playing games the sound was very irritating. I did put an arctic cooling accelero twin turbo II on it, which helps with the sound and cooling a lot. The card itself is very reliable, I have overclocked it to a stable level at 1150 Mghz on the core clock. I would say if you don't mind the sound or can spend a little more on an aftermarket cooler then go for it. Warning: putting on a different cooler will void the warranty, but mine has lasted so I am happy with the purchase I made.

Price is good for a GTX670. Noise has settled down some from when first ran but is still loud and annoying. The Asus GTX660 TOP that I bought for my son is close to this in performance and very much quieter. Warranty is voided if you change fans and $300 for a non-warrantied video card would be ridiculous, so I'll put up with the noise. I probably would not purchase this video card again.

Bought this cars as it was the cheapest one available à that point (340$ instead of 370 for other brand). The performance is there, but the noise too. My old 470 was loud too, so it does not bother me that much, but hoped it would be a little less noisy when playing.

Pretty good card overall. not a big fan of the short pcb though

This was my second GTX 670 as I needed to SLI it for my triple monitor setup and I am very happy with it. Performance has been scaled from 1.5-2x. I got it on sale for the price of 660ti.

I replaced 2 x amd 6950s in crossfire with one of these. Its gets about 95% of the performance of my old cards with 1/2 the power/heat and a lot less noise. Game play is also smoother than it was before, but that's a crossfire and sli issue. I haven't tried overclocking it yet but honestly I don't need to. It also runs my three screens perfectly. I don't game in surround mode but I do a lot of graphics work and its great. If you have had another card with the same style of cooler you will not see a difference in sound levels.

I was angry that the original advertised shroud didnt come with the card. It had Palit's reference card design. After talking with a PNY rep, I found out why it happened; They couldnt meet the demand for Boxing day so they switched shroud suppliers and that is what they got.

Loud or not, I got a gtx 670 for less than $300.

I love this card. Bought for around $300 but puts up 680 numbers. Overclocks well to 1200Mhz and runs cool on stock voltage. Yes the fan does whine, but quieter than my 560ti 448 core...buy if on sale.

Comment:
This GTX 670 performs admirably, unfortunately the fan is very loud.

I picked this card up to replace a 6870 crossfire setup that I was getting tired of with microstuttering in certain games and wanted as good framerate performance without all the jitteriness that the crossfire setup was giving. I got that plus more with this card, however I should preface it by describing what I did. Out of the box this card is cheap cheap cheap.. not hard to tell. The box and packaging is certainly low quality, I assume to keep the price down? The card itself is not bad but the cooler is a piece of junk.. for real. Plugged it in turned it on and hummmmmmmm. If you plan on keeping this card and its cooler fully stock, I imagine you will be disappointed with the noise factor. That said, I knew at time of purchase that I'd be mounting an aftermarket Twin Turbo cooler onto it, which I did. With the Arctic Cooler this card is a beast. I haven't even tried to overclock yet but at idle it sits at 36c and at full load it barely reaches over 64. With stock cooler it idled around 45 and peaked out at over 80!For this reason I'm giving this card 4/5 simply because with the cooler I put on it, the card is supreme. Its crunching Far Cry 3 at 19x10 with little trouble (in tandem with a 2600 v 4.6) and other games all play smooth as silk. no more stutter!!If you plan on leaving this card stock, I'd probably give it a 3 as the cooler is a real downer, especially if you're shooting for a noise free system. Performance though, 5/5.. very happy. it doesn't match the 6870CF it beats it for sure.

I like it, I got it for 270 after rebate on boxing day, I just wish it had a better cooler so i could do crazy overclocking, but i have been able to reach rear 680 performance and under 80c but it was 200 bucks cheaper than a 680 so i am happy

Is had 2 GTX 560 in SLI, and decided to get on GTX670 to replace them both. One GTX670 is faster than 2 non Ti 560, I can confirm. Price was so good, I decided to go overkill and get a second 670 to SLI with my first. I have a I5-2500 running stock speeds, and Battlefield 3 is running at 1920x1200 Vsynced with no hiccups at 60fps with all settings maxed.Just ordered a watercooling solution to take care of the noise, which is OK with one card, but in SLI config is too much for my taste, and WAY louder than the 2 ASUS DirectCU II GTX 560 I had.

great upgrade for 3d performance. it is a powerful video card. and it is small which gives you a lot of space.

Comment:
Card is great, fast n cool even tho i put it closest to cpu then i put the evga next to it n it has lots of space to breath but for some reason runs hotter than pny one but all in all i love i recommend to everybody

Beast of a card. Can run Metro 2033 maxed out settings and get 35-45 FPS at 1920x1080. Can reach up to 72 degrees on full load for a while. Bought it when it was $350- $40 MIR

I've been enjoying this video card. I have most things maxed out and I bought it because the price point had dipped back at around 400$ which is the price I wanted to pay for the GTX670s.The packaging is kind of flimsy and the drivers are on a CD-R (I simply got newer ones on nvidia's website).

Picked this up as I was in the market for a new video card and this was the cheapest gtx 670 available at the time, by a pretty large margin. The packaging was a joke tbh, even the driver cd was just a burned dvd! But hey, when you're going budget it's what you should expect I suppose. The nice things about these cards are that they're actually incredibly "short" for the amount of power you're getting, but the reference design sticks a big blower fan onto the bottom of the card, which means you're not saving as much space as you could be, and also the power connections are on the side of the card, not the bottom - which makes it less than ideal for cabling your system nicely. But the bang for the buck with this card is incredible, paired with a (also well priced) i5 3570K I was able to achieve frame rates of 60-100fps in battlefield 3 at 1080p, or over 300fps in older source engine games! crazy! if you're running a single monitor you really don't need more power than this. I would consider replacing the stock cooler with something else, once I see something available here. I haven't tried overclocking the card any more than it already is, as I'd rather it keep running quiet.

Was looking for the cheapest GTX 670 and was a decent buy at 370
