GTX 670 Club / OCs / Benchies / etc etc...

Hey guys, I am looking to replace my GTX 580 and I am pretty settled on a GTX 670.

I am not sure which one I should get though: the MSI GTX 670 PE or the ASUS DCII.
My main concerns are are noise (number one) and temperature.

Anyone have any input on these two?

Thanks.

EDIT: I went with the MSI. Wow, was not expecting this big of a jump. Runs 1331 MHz on stock volts. Now I need to catch up in the CPU dept.

 

the 670 PE looks like it will have adjustable voltage according to MSI........... the DCII is a nice card, just make sure you do not get the TOP card, as most of those are unstable overclocks anyways and you can do the same with the non-top

with that said i'd probably pick the MSI

 

Ive gone for the Windforce.

 

i went with the evga sc 4gb

 

Hi all,

After reading this post i finally made the decision to upgrade my main pc parts. Got myself a i7 3770K (@4,6 air) with a ASrock Extreme4 Z77 and the Gigabyte GTX670 OC,

And here is the best result so far.
With Virtu MVP GPU Vitulazation OFF



With Virtu MVP GPU Vitulazation ON

 

Here:

There are new BIOS for the Gigabyte 670 OC cards.

"Release For HYNIX Memory-Increased Stability"

Some say it increases 3dmark11 scores.

:banana::banana::banana:

 

how much reach the boost clock in games (with msi aferburner ect.)??

 

i guess my stock i5 is holding me back. oh well im still happy with my rig.

my card is @ +50 core +400 memory

Got one

I got mine from amazon. Is in my info. I will post benchmarks soon..

 

First benchmark with stock eVGA GTX 670 FTW. Looks like things are working as they should.

Gonna start putting up gameplay and benchmarks on my youtube. Starting with this heaven run. I use a capture card to record so there's no lag and performance drop.

My results

Is this fine for my card or is something wrong?

EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB SLI setup finished yesterday:


3dMark 11

Using GTX 670 SLI - 5709 (no overclock yet, using Nvidia Official 301.42)

Using same cpu and memory and intel ssd but diff mobo from Gigabyte:
Radeon 7970 Crossfire setup - 5808 (no overclock on here either)

This picture made me realize just HOW messy and dirty my case has become over the last few months...

 

its ok your processor held your score back because of the physics test.

 

PC has been in bits for weeks.
I've stripped it down to change some stuff around and fit some raystorm water blocks to GPU and CPU and you know I have just passed my motorbike test so have been riding around on my new bike and really cant be arsed to put the thing back together!
It was running so sweet before i just know it going to put up a fight when I put it back together..lol

 

haha get her up and running! and take some pictures of your new setup!

 

Processor is not overclocked at the moment, GPU runs on standard factory overclock.

 

I did a bit more yesterday. The MB has been refitted with it's new block and all the piping has been done. Have mounted the blocks on both the GPU but need to organise memory & VRM cooling, still a little but undecided on that.

 

Hi guys,
I have a Evga gtx 670 vannila.
Came from a 7950 which overclocked easily to 1100mhz on stock volts.
But anyway,i just try to overclock the gtx 670 to get some higher benchmark scores,and i cant overclock it at all.
Even just 25mhz+ on the core results in a restart of pc when starting vantage?:S
So this card has totally no overclock room?
Sotck the card reaches 1110mhz boost.
Anyone know what can be the problem?
I raised both the voltage to 1175v and the other to 122%.
Thnx

 

Sometimes it just comes down to plain luck! My old 5870 OC so little it wasn't worth the effort but both of my 670 are fantastic. My friend bought the same cards and he's got one great one and one weak one. it's just the way it goes.
What I would say is if you have just bought the card(s) then give them some time to settle down they will almost certainly improve. If after some running in it's still poor then remove the heatsink, clean up the paste and remount with some good quality paste.
