Why ASUS? The engineers at ASUS lay still a high value on good workmanship and low temperature variations (and thus long service life). I'm not übermäßg "brand believers", but I've just not enough money to afford it can, in the wrong place 20, - to save Euro - or 50.
Result: 100% satisfied with an absolute "eye-opener".
Although I purrs an old ASUS motherboard with PCIe 2.0 using (yes, please do not hit) the GTX 670 in my current favorite games at maximum graphics settings in most game situations with 60 to 80 FPS to himself. Despite the old board and without the Asus Tweak tool.
The "conversion" of my old ATI 5830 was expected to be super-easy. ATI drivers uninstalled without rebooting and precaution downloaded the latest driver from NVidea (this is newer than the driver supplied on the CD). Old map out, GTX 670 pure, turned on computer, installed drivers, started Game :-) The whole thing reminds of the simplicity of Lego.
And ... the ASUS GTX 670 is actually so quiet that I know the difference immediately noticed when turning on the computer.
In summary a super graphics card at an affordable price - and for the future is there for me at least still a lot of potential in it.
With a current motherboard is still a boost in terms of graphics power to pick up and as soon as the price of the GTX 670 has dropped significantly, it makes the medium safely sense a second GTX 670 to set via SLI next, as in 3 or 4 years back to invest in a new map.
// Edit: Meanwhile, two months on, I am still 100% satisfied. Titles such as Hitman: Absolution (100% uncut), The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PC, Standard Edition) or Far Cry 3 (100% uncut) run smoothly and usually liquid at maximum graphics settings. The video editing with SONY Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 runs beautifully smoothly and without any problems.
