Reviewers Liked

  • Performance is surprisingly close to pricier GeForce GTX 680
  • Short board length makes it a good fit for tight cases
  • Shortest PCB in its class
  • Uses the least amount of power from all the high-end video cards we have tested
  • Runs quietly during full load in fairly well ventilated
  • Support for PCIExpress 3.0 and DirectX 11.1
  • Support for CUDA and PhysX

Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Expensive
  • Less onboard memory than comparable AMD cards
  • Memory not cooled
  • Dynamic OC can't be turned off, Manual overclocking more complicated than before

At the heart of all of Nvidia's high-end GTX 600 series cards is the 28nm GeForce Kepler GPU, codenamed GK104. This GTX 670 and GTX 680 are almost identical, but the GTX 670 has fewer CUDA cores (the processing cores in the GPU) and it runs at a...

Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 670 performs nearly as well, in some cases, as the pricier GTX 680, and it bests AMD’s similarly priced Radeon HD 7950. It’s a good fit for demanding gamers who want serious performance at high resolutions, but don’t want to pay...

Some hardware lives on in the memory long after it has been retired from active duty. Anyone who owned a 3DFX card at launch time will remember the mind-blowing levels of eye-candy. Equally the E8600 has gone down in folklore as a hardcore...

Nvidia's latest GPU equals the performance of its high-end predecessor, the GTX 580, with a less rarified price. It's almost as quiet and power-efficient as a GTX 680, too....

After a relatively quiet 2011, this year is already shaping up to be a big one for Graphics cards. We have already seen the launch of AMD's flagship GPUs, the Radeon HD 7950 and 7970, and now NVIDIA has completed its high end lineup with the GeForce GTX...

Due to the long wait for the GTX 670, the key question we need to answer is whether the GeForce GTX 670 is worth the $399 price tag. To try to answer this question, we try to put ourselves in a consumers point of view. The card definitely has the...

Really, it’s hard to argue against the qualities of the GTX 670 2GB. Despite costing 25 per cent less than a GTX 680 2GB, it delivers frame rates that are only between 5-10 per cent lower, and which still manage to largely surpass those of the Radeon...

It looks like NVIDIA took their highly successful GK104 graphics processor and tried to reduce cost of all the other components as much as possible. We see a tiny PCB, low-cost cooler and conservative component selection. Normally this should be a...
