which brand of gtx 670 should i get

i was looking at this one

http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=71245&vpn=02G-P4-2670-KR&manufacture=eVGA&promoid=1254

but are there other models that are better at overclocking or better in some way?

this evga one is currently 50 bucks off and the sale ends tomorrow

I think the Asus DCUII variant is awesome, or any non-reference PCB 670. I would take a reference one in a heartbeat though if it was $50 off though.

I want to get a 670 as well. I look on NCIX almost every day for good deals and stuff! I live like 2 mins away from one, so its really easy for me to go over there and pick stuff up.

also im planning on possibly getting a second one some time next year along with either a 3d monitor or doing a 3 monitor set up. would my coolermaster 750 watt psu be enough for 670 in sli?GamingVengeance

I would go with the EVGA they generally have excellent great priced cards. and they have amazing customer service.

I'd go with the ASUS one.

Either that, the Gigabyte or the FTW edition.

From what I've heard is that Asus, EVGA and Gainward are excellent brands. I have a GTX 670 from Gainward.

I've had a Zotac GTX 260 and no problems encountered with it at all.

And dude, that EVGA GTX 670 looks horrible in its appearance! The FTW version looks hell a lot better but it's overclocked though.

I personally don't like overclocked components as they tend to produce more heat, and this could lead to failure at some point in its life.

But I could be wrong, I don't know. I'm not passing this opinion as fact, obviously.

The FTW edition has a full length pcb and a better cooler than the reference 670s, so no worries there.

And yes, it does look better ^_^

Yeah, that looks bad too. :P

you guys think theres any chance DX12 will come out next year?GamingVengeance

[QUOTE="GamingVengeance"]you guys think theres any chance DX12 will come out next year?mitu123

So I have an EVGA 670 ftw and under full GPU load it doesnt go over 57 C

I have two Asus GTX 670s and they are great. After coming from a reference 8800GT which ran hot as hell and sounded like a jet engine, I was amazed with how quiet and cool they ran. They also use a larger PCB and a redesigned VRM.

They're also one of the best looking non-reference cards imo:

The number of games using DX11 seem to have grown recently, but seriously what excuse do developers have for not using it? don't they want their games to run on many PCs as possible and as optimized as possible?

Can't go wrong with EVGA

I was an EVGA customer for life when they replaced my old 9800 GTX that fried with a brand new GTX 275 a few years ago. Saved me a bunch of money because I probably would've sprung for a GTX 460 or 560 when they came out if I had still been using my 9800.Guppy507

SAY WHAT!? Thank god I chose them for my GTX 570 :shock:

I've had nothing but great experiences with EVGA. They even upgraded me to an 8800GTX when my 8800GTS auto fan control stopped working. That was when they still did lifetime warranties though.

Thanks for the input guys. I decided to go with the Evga one. Can't wait!!!GamingVengeance

Good choice, I would probably have gone with them. I should teach myself not to be bothered with how the card looks. :P
