    The cards are really nice. Mine wouldn't work far above 1300 but I guess that's nothing to complain about ;)
    1300 straight were stable in games but I encountered graphical glitches in 3D Mark 11. Dropped the clock to 1283MHz and everything is fine now!
    The RAM, as it's cooled by the heatsink, even works at 3500MHz without any issues.
    Amazing to see how quiet the cards stays even under heavy load and even at these clocks.

    Agreed Radical, these cards are strong. My one good one clocks to 1350Mhz core and 7000Mhz on the mem. Got just under 10K in 3D11. Can't wait to replace my unstable card for another one like my good one.

    My first card does 1350+ MHz.
    The second dont pass (never) 1202 MHz but it does 7100+ MHz on the memory.

    Im thinking on doing the RMA trick too.

    But, what if I get a card that does not even reach those 1200 MHz?
    Dont know what to do...
    A SLI with 2 cards at 1300 MHz would be so awesome, and seeing that 1300+ core is pretty common in this cards, ill take the risk lol

    If the one I receive dont pass the 1100 MHz im going to die :giggle2:

    Well my second card isn't stable out of the box so thats why I'm returning it. would love another 1300+ clocker but would be happy with 1200+ as long as its stable! Loks like its pretty common for the custom ASUS top cards to be pulling 1300+ so hopefully I'll get lucky. Will keep you posted!

    It's rather common for any of the early batch chips as it seems. Most cards seem to run at that speed rather than being much slower. Chances aren't bad at all it seems :)

    So what x'D
    Should I go for it, or should I stay.

    Looking at this review:
    http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-670-2-and-3way-sli-review/16

    Im having almost the performance of a stock 3 Way SLI of gtx 670, with two cards.
    http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3522341

    Also, I can play even (wich is VERY power hungry) Metro 2033 @ 1080p all maxed included all DX11 and PhysX features.

    I may be lucky and have a card that reaches 1,3 GHz and crunch a 3 Way SLI (stock), but I can have bad luck and receive one that doesnt reach even 1,2 GHz...

    What would you do?

    Edit:
    Nah, I go for it.
    Wish me luck :nerd:

    Yeah im going to do it.
    My doubts are:
    -How long will take?
    -Will they test the hardware?

    Sometimes it costs more for a company to take the time to test, on the other hand if they're like EVGA, they definitely test. They won't accept an RMA because you say "Doesn't do 1300Mhz". If you submit it saying something it doesn't do i.e. fail failure or bad vram or something, if they check they will just send it right back saying the issue isn't the card, and you'll be out a second card for a good 2 weeks+ and the price of shipping just because you want a whopping 100Mhz.

    To each their own, but go for it if it's really that important to you. Just don't be surprised if the new card you get back (assuming they accept it) barely breaks 1100.

    RMA'd a 470 once, had a bad clocker that required insane voltages, got back one that was even worse, RMA'd saying bad vram, freezes with solid color on screen, they checked it and said the card was fine. My luck, I was stuck with it.

    Again,t his was EVGA so you might get lucky.

    I had a hard lockup a little while ago and so I backed down to +150 core and +450 memory.

    I had it at +155/+475 after some tinkering.

    Looks like that's as high as it will go. I'm certainly not disappointed with the performance. I just wish the card was quieter than it is.

    My replacement card turns up tomorrow so I can get back to BF3 maxed at 1440p. :D These are actually my first custom cooled cards since I always pull the trigger as soon as new chips are released and I'm loving the quiteness, though they do dump more heat into my case then my ref 680 as my CPU temps have risen slightly. Wish tomorrow would get here already!

    I have good news :D

    I finally arrived to a deal with the shop where I did buy the slow card.
    I've sent it back to them, not using the RMA procedure, but the right (by law) to return items that are not satisfiyng the costumer in the first 7 days. They will make a refund.

    Yesterday ordered another Gigabyte (from another shop) wich arrived this morning; and this time I've had the luck by my side.

    The new card reaches 1300 MHz, so now I do have a pair of golden twins. XD

    With 15 minutes tweaking, crunched the 3Way-SLI setup reviewed in this page. And most GTX 690 scores I've seen on the other thread.

    Now i'll take vacations, will dedicate to play, enjoy the summer and my gf wich needs some attention too (lol).

    Nightmare is over :banana::banana::banana:

    BTW: Graphics Score 20376

    Hi folks
    I have return my new Msi gtx 670 to the store today:biggun::biggun::biggun:

    The card was runing like a charm but the fan motor was making so much noise
    ,and the sound was so annoying that i cant life with it.So i have choose an Asus direct cu II,the fan on idle run at 10% and on full load it goes around 35% to 38% and never goes above 68c.
    So im very happy whit the new card.I think to overclock it a bit is there someone who knows how many mhz i should be abble to put on the basis core frequency the card have stock spec

    thanks,and try to avoid stock cooling

    Well my new card is here, does about 1250MHz on the core, my other does 1328Mhz, both 7k on the mem.

    result: almost 1950 for GPU, P14458 overall thanks to my i5

    http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3566303

    overall I'm well chuffed
