ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II Top @ Ocaholic
|
 Today is the official launch date of NVIDIAs highly anticipated GTX 670. We got a sample from ASUS which comes with a massive factory overclocking as well as a completely redesigned PCB. We`re really curious how this thing performs in our new benchmark parcours where we have the results of 62 different cards!"

The GTX 670 and the Case of the Missing (and Returning) 4-Way SLI Support
|
|
In our launch review of the GeForce GTX 670 2GB graphics card this week, we had initially mentioned that these $399 graphics cards would support SLI, 3-Way SLI and even 4-Way SLI configurations thanks to the pair of SLI connections on the PCB. We received an update from NVIDIA later on that day that in fact it would NOT support 4-Way SLI."

Virtu Universal MVP Review @ Hardware Secrets
|
|
The Virtu Universal MVP is a software-based technology that is available on most motherboards based on the latest Intel Z77 chipset. It allows you to combine the CPU integrated graphics processor to your regular video card, increasing gaming performance. This is similar to what occurs with the NVIDIA`s Hybrid SLI and AMD`s ATI Hybrid technologies, with the notable difference of not being limited to GPUs or CPUs of a specific manufacturer. In this review we will see if this technology really works and how much performance you will gain by using it. We will also take a look at the performance of the integrated graphics processor available on the Core i7-3770K (Ivy Bridge) CPU."

Zotac GeForce GTX680 2GB Review
|
|
The Zotac GeForce GTX680 2GB and the newer 4GB version, are the only NVIDIA-based models Zotac currently make in the 600 series. We have the 2GB version for review and we were very impressed with the results. The Zotac GeForce GTX680 2GB is definitely a card for enthusiast gamers. The GTX680 is on par with the ATI HD 7970, but are a much cheaper price...

Gigabyte GTX670 OC Video Card Review
|
|
Gigabyte GTX670 OC Video Card Review The Gigabyte GV-N670OC-GD2 has many things going for it starting with the new GTX 670 GPU. This may be a cut down version of the GTX 680 but it has plenty of power for most games and some to spare in others. Most of that power comes from the impressive decent factory overclock which was due, in part, to the custom designed PCB and Windforce thermal solution.

Ivy Bridge PCI-Express Scaling with HD 7970 and GTX 680 @ techPowerUp
|
|
Today`s latest graphics cards come with support for PCI-Express 3.0, which promises twice the bandwidth, while still being compatible with older motherboards and graphics cards. In our article we analyze differences in PCIe performance on Intel`s Ivy Bridge with GeForce GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7970, using 20 games at five resolutions, each at all three PCIe generations and x4, x8 and x16 link width."

Diamond Radeon HD 7870 2GB Double Black Diamond Review @ circuitREMIX
|
|
Shortly after the launch of the Radeon HD 7870, the only video cards available were clones of the reference design. Now that we`re past the initial launch period, new models of the 7870 are now available which deviate from the standard. The model we`re looking at today is called the Double Black Diamond. A step up from the vanilla 7870, the Double Black Diamond comes with an overclock of 50MHz to the GPU and 25MHz (200MHz GDDR5 effective)."

EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB Superclocked Review @ Hardware Canucks
|
|
As the GTX 670 launched, many wondered what kinds of changes NVIDIA`s board partners would make with the final retail cards. While Gigabyte, ASUS, Galaxy and some others went the route of fully customized versions, EVGA stuck with the reference design for their new Superclocked edition. But other than increased clock speeds, EVGA has packed in a few additional surprises for us. "

GTX 670 & 680 Clock per Clock and GPU Boost Analysis @ Ocaholic
|
|
In this article we are going to analyse two things: first the clock per clock performance between the GTX 670 and GTX 680 both clocked at 1 GHz. To do so we have bypassed the GPU Boost so the graphics cards have a minimum and maximum clock frequency of 1 GHz. Second, we have raised the TDP of our GTX 670 to see how the GPU Boost will react and what it`s impact on performance actually is. So let`s find out what`s really happening behind the scene, let there be light!"

Gainward GeForce GTX 670 Phantom Review
|
|
After many months of talking up its latest architecture, Nvidia reclaimed the single-GPU performance crown with its GeForce GTX 680, which outpaced the Radeon HD 7970 by about 7% in our tests. Kepler's arrival forced AMD to slash prices across its Southern Islands lineup, including a $70 drop on the HD 7970, putting it at $479 or about 4% cheaper than the GTX 680's MSRP of $499.
The HD 7950 also took a $60 cut to $399, making it one of the most tempting 7000 series cards because it has no equal -- or had no equal, we should say. Continuing Kepler's rollout, Nvidia has unveiled the GTX 670, which is priced against the HD 7950 at $399. Despite being $100 cheaper than the GTX 680, the GTX 670 doesn't appear to be much slower on paper, and that could spell disaster for AMD.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 Reviews, EVGA and Gigabyte
|
|
Hot on the heels of the impressive, dual-GPU powered GeForce GTX 690, which launched just a few short days ago, NVIDIA is already back with a much more affordable Kepler variant featuring a slightly pared down GK104 GPU. What’s perhaps most interesting to all of you though, is that this new card will offer near-GeForce GTX 680 performance, at prices starting under the $400 mark.
The new GeForce GTX 670 we’ll be showing you here today sports the very same chip that powers the high-end GeForce GTX 680 and 690, but with a few shader cores disabled. The cards will sport a more compact design and a few other tweaks as well...
