EVGA GTX 670 Superclocked Graphics Card Review

Overclockers.com · 05-10-12, 08:00 AM

It's launch day again, and this time it's for the second card in NVIDIA's 600 series line-up, the GTX 670. EVGA is one of NVIDIA's most well-known and well-regarded add-in board (AIB) partners, and we have one of their GTX 670 Superclocked cards to run through our testing.

Wow...... what a little beast and $100 less than a 680 and damn close/better in some cases b/c of turbo... heh.

This should force AMD to lower prices on some cards I would imagine!

MattNo5ss · 05-10-12, 08:21 AM

Yeah, I'm thinking so too. Mini-beast for a relatively mini-price

Janus67 · 05-10-12, 08:25 AM

what an adorable PCB with some serious kick to it.

Reminds me of this little guy

Just don't get it in water.

Very nice review.

Might have to change my 580s for 670s instead of 680s!

Moussa93 · 05-10-12, 09:02 AM

Where can I buy it :0
Link is needed

Amazon has it!! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007Z3HZIA/...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Waiting for the Superclocked one ;D

Superclocked link is on!! Should be here sooooooon !

hokiealumnus · 05-10-12, 09:08 AM

EVGA has them on their site:

Vanilla GTX670
GTX670 Superclocked
GTX670 FTW

There is also a Galaxy card @ TigerDirect: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...312&CatId=7387

They aren't up at Newegg yet that I can find.

Janus67 · 05-10-12, 09:24 AM

why spend more on a superclocked? it looks like they have the same VRM sections as the vanilla and a paltry overclock? Save yourself $20 (or $40 from the FTW, depending on if it has a beefier VRM section).

xander89 · 05-10-12, 09:26 AM

anyone know when this will be out in the UK? wana see the 7970 prices drop! hopfully this will push the 7970's to below £300

Thinking the same thing in product specs can't tell. But it does make me question is the 680 worth the extra 100-120 bucks.

Still will wait for Asus or MSI to come with the better cooling models to decided.

Moussa93 · 05-10-12, 09:49 AM

The OverClocked version of Galaxy is sexy as hell: http://www.galaxytechus.com/usa/productview.aspx?id=182

Amazon Superclocked is on!!! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007Z3HZGM/...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Now this one or the Galaxy version? Which one would you choose?

Bobnova · 05-10-12, 09:54 AM

The galaxy is a non-reference board, there are pros and cons.

Pros: Way, way, way better cooling. May OC further, may not.
Cons: Probably no software voltage control. I have no idea what Galaxy's warranty support is like.

Moussa93 · 05-10-12, 09:55 AM

I don't really plan to overclock?

Bobnova · 05-10-12, 10:00 AM

Get the cheapest card from a name brand you can find then.
Skip the OC editions, skip the more expensive non-reference editions.

Now I'll get the Gtx 670 SuperClocked from EVGA... If I'll do 2 days shipping and If I wake up and see the Galaxy one online, I'll return the EVGA and get it. Can't stay here, too sleepy
