GIGABYTE Launches GeForce GTX 670 WindForce 3X Graphics Card

btarunr · May 11, 2012

GIGABYTE's first and only GeForce GTX 670 graphics card is the GV-N670OC-2GD, a non-reference design graphics card that implements the company's popular WindForce 3X cooling solution, coupled with its UltraDurable VGA+ PCB. While the PCB layout appears to be identical to that of NVIDIA reference design GeForce GTX 680, it is backed by GIGABYTE exclusives such as 2 oz copper PCB layers, electrical ripple control, tier 1 GDDR5 memory chips, ferrite core chokes, low RDS (on) MOSFETs, and Japanese solid-state capacitors.

Out of the box, the GV-N670OC-2GD features clock speeds of 980 MHz core, 1058 MHz GPU Boost, and 6.00 GHz effective GDDR5 memory. It loads 2 GB of memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface, with 192 GB/s bandwidth. Display outputs include two dual-link DVI, and one each of HDMI and DisplayPort. The card is capable of 4-way SLI. The cooling solution consists of two aluminum fin stacks, to which heat is transported by three copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the GPU, and ventilated by three 90 mm fans. GIGABYTE is asking US $415 for the GeForce GTX 670 WindForce 3X OC 2 GB.

Three fans plus full sized PCB FTW. This could be my next card (possibly SLi) if the price is closer to $400 or less when the time comes.

so you are ready to spend about 800$ for GPU's but worry about 30-40$ :wtf:

and I thought you want good GPU's..., but any way - I wont get how 30$ discount from 800$ could be "good deal", maybe "a little better deal"

Take care.

This card is currently on sale in the UK for £366, that translates to $590 :eek:

Nice card though and is actually one of the cheaper models on offer.
