The GeForce GTX 670 graphics card from Gigabyte has been pictured, by the same company that leaked MSI GTX 670 OC pictures earlier.

It seems that this model is based on non-reference PCB, which is much longer than default one. It is equipped with large WindForce 3X cooling solution, which is made of aluminum radiator, three copper-plated heatpipes and three 92mm fans. Because this card is featuring factory-overclocked clocks, Gigabyte decided to equip this model with both 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors.

It offers reference 2GB of GDDR5 memory on 256-bit interface. Base clock was set to 980 MHz and memory to 1500 MHz. As reported earlier it features 1344 CUDA cores with a performance better than Radeon HD 7950.

Card is offered for RM1499, which is $491 (including taxes).

I wonder why they still use Blue PCBs, while most of their Motherboards are Black now.

blue on black on cyan or something... i agree it's ugly, i prefer black or red.

anyway if you're not going to show off the card physically and if it cools well and it's an overclocker and especially if the price is good, go for it.

Having experienced a tri-fan model (570 OC), I will never go back to a reference cooled card again. The Windforce cards not only cool very well but are much quieter than the single fan ref models. Because they cool very well, fan speeds almost never go more than 40-50%.

tempting, but aren't the 670 gtx like the 680 gtx limited to OC ? (they use autoverclock). neah ill stick with the single fan, i had 2 radeon hd 5850, i know what noise from videocard is... i hope i will not hear something like that ever again
