Thanks for the heads up, just bit the bullet and got one. Now I just hope it fits in my case :)

I guess they are our of stock even for preorder now since AMazon is back to the crappy "marketplace" vendors for $475... The prices for those vendors is dropping about $10 every few days though.

Looks like a fantastic GPU. When you get it installed. Let us know the outcome. What are your other machine specs?

It's a card in high demand you gotta remember :)

For what it's worth Amazon had a pretty good supply of them it looks like. The first time I checked after it was posted was a couple of hours later, then another 1hr or two after that and they were in stock. I'd lean more towards alot of cards than nobody buying them.

Go to the site then video cards and look at the top 100 and it's listed as #1 currently :)

Just want to let everyone know that out of two DC2T cards I bought, one artifacts and crashes right out of the box, and seems this is not an isolated issue if you google it.

With SLI I managed to pull 15-20 minutes of BF3 before crashing probably due to the fact that there was half as much workload on each GPU and the cards were hotter (because they were sandwiched) and therefore the faulty card was less boosted.

But upon individual testing, the working card boosted to 1267 under 70C (1254 after 70C), the faulty card boosted to 1293 and crashes almost instantaneously. Setting a negative offset fixes the problem. The card also shows artifacts during POST pre-windows.

Seems IMO that Asus want a little overboard with some of the TOP cards.

Buyer beware.

This blows! I just ordered one of these a couple days ago (never been a GPU early adopter before) and now this looks bad. I got a non-TOP... hopefully they're not affected.

Did you return your card or were you able to fix it by scaling back the OC?

The vanilla card will be unaffected, it runs at stock nvidia clocks, which are certified to work after many months of in house testing.

Partner overclocked boards are tested for a few weeks before they are sent out, and sometimes stuff like this happens (see EVGA GTX 670 SC recall).

I'm not keeping the card, screw that. I paid for a working card and I expect it to work without supplementary tweaks.

Sounds like the second one is a defective card. RMA that.

Also, the TOP are not good in SLI due to the hot exhaust going into the case. I would get the eVGA FTW if I wanted to do SLI.

I've received my Asus DirectCU 670 (non-TOP) and am pleased to report excellent results so far. GPU boost goes up to ~1080 in benchmarking and testing. I haven't noticed any aberrant behaviour, although I really haven't had a chance to game with it at length yet.

Best of all, it is really really quiet. The fan idles at 10% and speeds up modestly under load.

I'll probably try OCing it tonight or this weekend. What's the best software to use with Keplers? I've never overclocked anything with GPU boost before.
