@jackson, no don't pay 479$ for a 670. try to find one for 420 or 439$. Are you buying US

And @ absorber yes you can even buy them from EVGA's site right now

 

[-Jackson]

I'm buying from Australia unfortunately, so there's little hope for non-inflated prices..GTX 680s 4Gb models go for as much as $829 here.

There's currently only two available, Gigabyte's windforce version for $519 and Inno3D's one for $479 --670 that is.

i don't know how true is this but it was interesting lol:

if the price of 670 can drop a bit more maybe i can get one of those baby 😛

 

[Rockdpm]

Well between the two.. 479 is about as good as its gonna get for you probably. I would get Inno. Havn't heard much luck out of Gigabyte for their MB's but for GPU market idk

Don't count on it

I might just wait for the EVGA models, taking a closer look at the Inno3D's picture and the PCB looks purple..Think I'm gonna pass :lol:

GTX 670 price will drop for sure...not much but will drop.

asus 670 DC II TOP review:

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_670_Direct_Cu_II/33.html

as fast as 680 but a lot cheaper!! will wait for 660 to come out before making my final decision 😛

 

[mactronix]

£330 in the UK seems very fair considering where everything else is priced.
I mean had this card come out at this price at the same time as the 7970 then things would have been a lot different.

Chances are I'll probably wait for a bit and see if Heatkiller makes a GPU block + backplate for this card..If they do, I'll buy the card. If not, I may just go for a 680..Yeah, being a perfectionist sucks, but what can you do? 🙁

 

[-Jackson]

it's not that being a perfectionist sucks, it's more the art of compromise is painful to learn...

Yup :/

Well, the GTX670 (if we see them in higher quantities) will definitely steal the GTX680 light. At a $100USD less performing within inches away? Nuts. They're definitely a good buy. They'd be great and unbeatable if they were $320USD or so 😛

Cheers!

Wait the GTX 660 Ti...

Hey guys, need input quick!

I have a GTX 680 MSI Twin Frozr

Should I return it to get a EVGA Superclock GTX 670 and get $150 back?

Can get hands on the new card but need to make the decision right away

 

[bruce555]

and then do what with the $150, you already have SSD.?

Ya have Corsair 120Gb GT

Don't think I would add it too my system. There is no place I could add more money too besides maybe a SLI fund.

 

[saint19]

you need to stop doing that....
it's literally driving me crazy because I'm already upgrading everything I got now (almost).
and then here you come and give me more ideas to lose sleep about..

Don't wait for the GTX 660 Ti....

Better? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

"The Game" effect. :lol:

 

[saint19]

ok guys, now come back to the main topic.

 

[bruce555]

GTX 670's in SLi..... seemingly WICKED.
what's your monitor situation.?

Ah just a 24" but plan on doing an upgrade in the near future, probably the same time if I plan on SLI'n but haven't decided what path to go. Surround, 3D, larger high res. But it's going to go up.

 

[bruce555]

Honestly I'm feeling for my dilemma that even though the MSI Frozr has the OC potential def there. That card runs so quiet and cool, thinking that the gap between the two is so small anyways that might as well grab the 670 and think of tossing the money towards SLI or monitor in the near future.

Or maybe towards a case / PSU to finish off my old system for the kids.

 

[bruce555]

need I repeat what you just said.?

I hear ya, kinda sold myself as well when I thought of that.

Hey gang. Been mostly mia due to the weather getting nice, vacation, etc. Still pretty disappointed where we're at today with pricing/availability for new cards. Performance wise it's right where we'd like. Still think this whole situation is bad for consumers with price levels shooting upward at pretty astonishing rates (as the 670 review mentioned we've gone from a $550-$650 5970 to $700-$800 6990/590 to $1k+ 690). I will most likely stick with my 560 ti's for some time until supply issues are resolved and the insanity of 1k+ flagship cards corrects itself. I can live with the lower FPS in the handful of very-demanding titles that we see each year.

Until we see more attractive pricing I'd rather put the (large sums of) money into a sports car than a wildly expensive gpu setup (that imo should be substantially less wildly expensive).

 

[Rockdpm]

Just depends where you put your priority's. If it were me and i already had a 680.. I'd just keep the 680. Your not gonna get 150$ back by selling it off or returning it.

 

[-Jackson]

Basically, just be happy with what you have
