So why the hell :) the switch?
All power-saving, powerful and especially quiet maps. With the 6870 you can still play all the games on high today. (GW2 absolutely no problem, for example)
My purchasing criteria are price / performance / processing / power consumption. In this case, the GTX 670 a criterion was not met, the purchase price.
For voices all other criteria to all cards that it currently (Date review note) returns. the 7970 is a beast but I really want to 150W more Stromverbraucht? I buy a graphics card and wants to play with you, I want nothing overclocking (even when it comes with this).
Alsos why the GTX 670. Because I can finally play with their BF3 on ultra without having frame slumps. Stable 70-80FPS.
Also ANNO 2070 Ultra just hammer (but postprocessing of this is the CPU in charge) and 70-100 FPS.
and the map is not to hear from the PC.
I have installed only Silent Wings PWM from be quiet, they are also not heard.
The loudest in my room, the external hard drive on the table and with temps of 40 ^ idle and 68 under load even with OC on TOP level there were nearly 71 ^ degrees without any noise !!! That's why I brought my GTX from Asus, because I even hear the phone unaufgelegte my neighbor ..
Asus did the job done pretty damn good. the Gigabyte 670 not hear that Asus 670.
Now available for all who wonder: Should I get the TOP or non TOP? This is precisely what concerned my main concern:
is the build quality poor and I have possibly limitations compared to the GTX 680 TOP variant of ASUS? - NO!
The concerns are totally unfounded. The factory overclocking the TOP version is marginal and by anyone with a little understanding of the hardware and the Tweak UI easy to perform, the other 20 euro difference not to be found in the components. I had both here the TOP and non TOP (the gigabytes.)
no difference in processing !!!
There are no disadvantages compared to the TOP version. Is 1: 1, the same board, same same GPU fan, even the numbers in the software, when reading, agree.
The Tweak UI can be any data the GPU temps read and recognize power peaks. the new Asus Tweak UI is not messy or cluttered with visual trash, this time there are only the stuff in there that you really need! (GPU-Z is da Asus also implemented)
The map is very well made, very chic packed, it smells good: D, there are no games as an additive - only driver, adapter cable and the card itself.
I have no regrets buying, 380 are really a lot of coal, but processing power and the non-existent noise have been me good value for money, it's really awesome how she does not listen.
(Ok i have my 6870 sold well, otherwise I would not have brought me the card)
Pro:
low power consumption
Good cooling
very good performance
no noise
Contraindications:
Price
The only alternative for the price would be a 7970 from ATI which one between 350 - can get 380
It is from the power simply pops just crass with driver updates which determines the larger 680 away.
But noise and power consumption about 150 W are not good.
Some models also cheeping.
Hardware is relevant today and tomorrow no more, He has every Tooling live, but I think with the GTX 670 I will have the next 2-4 years of peace and can you recommend anyone who sells his old card.
Each of you would have liked, but think: is far too expensive, I can only give 380 rights are very much money.
Moving from a 6870, or 560 or 570 is not necessary if you do not want to play on ultra games.
Medium and high also lead to good results and a good gaming experience.
6870 plays with "my system" at BF3 to LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / ULTRA between 70/60/50 / 30-40
The GTX 670 takes place on ULTRA with 60-80FPS
The GTX 670 consumes only 20W under load more than the 6870 ... Just for comparison
There are now many good reviews to the map just ask the search engine ...
Those who can not decide to wait.
Who wants to save power and ULTRA want to play without noise gets the GTX 670
Who does not want to save power and want to play the ULTRA Ati outdated 7970
Who wants to save power and can wait maintains its hardware and play on low / medium / high :-)
I can recommend this card definitely, it is a good and leistungsstrake graphics card without quirks.
It is only slightly longer than a 6870 - but it fits in with no problems Midigehäue pure.
possibly a bit pricey but definitely just quietly ...: D
