GeForce GTX 670 commands a decisive lead past its competition
well its your choice 670 is good for gaming.... but according to rumors i would actually wait for maxwel if your going nvidia, because maxwell is rumored to be 12x better in performance than fermi... if your going to pay 400 for a graphics card it should beable to do extreme precision
for 60 dollars more you can get a 10%~ boost in gaming and 3x boost in everything precision compute related
MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5 Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR...
plus with 3gb of memory your are future proofing yourself
"for 60 dollars more you can get a 10%~ boost in gaming and..."
Haha, not to rain on your parade or anything but..get out your umbrella.
That's subjective to say the LEAST!!! Why would you lead him to believe that thinking???
I don't see that at all for MOST games currently popular. As a matter of fact, the amount of games that the HD 7970 beats the GTX 670 seems awful minimal. A few games at best from searching te internet.
And look, the HD 7970 is AMD's "FLAGSHIP" card.
And the GTX 670 is NOT Nvidia's "FLAGSHIP" card.
The GTX 680 is. Well, the 690 is now, BUT try to find one.
All you have to do is Google GTX 670 vs. HD7970 and see all the benchmark reviews on the net.
It's common information that the GTX 670 is a superstar video card and is right up there in the stratosphere for a great gaming card.
In case you think I'm a fanboy or something, I'm not.
I also own AMD cards and like them, a lot.
But, facts are facts.
Here - read for yourself...Benchmark Reviews...just one of
many reviews out there
In the DirectX 10 game Crysis Warhead, the GeForce GTX 670 was ahead of its predecessor (GTX 570) a full 11 FPS at 1920x1080 while still leading ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 7970 by 4 FPS. DirectX 11 tests also had the GeForce GTX 670 ahead in most tests. The demanding DX11 graphics of Batman: Arkham Asylum made use of Kepler's optimized architecture,
delivering a staggering lead of 18 FPS to the GeForce GTX 670 over the more expensive Radeon HD 7970. Battlefield 3 continued the run, pushing the stock GTX 670 more than 8 FPS beyond the Radeon HD 7970. Lost Planet 2 played well on all graphics cards when set to high quality with 4x AA, yet the GeForce GTX 670 still surpassed Radeon HD 7970 performance by 6 FPS. In one of the few exceptions, Aliens vs Predator gave back the lead to AMD Radeon products over their NVIDIA counterparts. Metro 2033 is another demanding game that requires high-end graphics to enjoy quality settings, but like AvP this game benchmark favors Radeon products.
Synthetic benchmark tools offered a similar read on these products, mirroring some of the results seen from our video game tests. Futuremark's 3DMark11 benchmark suite strained our high-end graphics cards with only mid-level settings displayed at 720p, forcing the less-powerful Radeon HD 7970 to occasionally trail the GeForce GTX 670 by 4 FPS when it wasn't holding even. Our Unigine Heaven 3.0 benchmark tests used maximum settings, which might explain why Radeon HD 7970 pulled ahead. Taking all our benchmark results into consideration, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 670 commands a decisive lead past its competition while occasionally surpassing AMD's flagship graphics card.
