Asus 670 TOP - $461

vs

EVGA 670 FTW $420


Total price difference including credit card pts: $50

Will try to OC to modest increase. My case has bad air flow.
 
of course get the EVGA for that price difference. where do you people keep seeing these high priced TOP cards? on newegg they are just 10 bucks more than the non top ASUS Direct CU card.

what case do you have and what does the rest of your pc look like including power supply and resolution you want to play at?
 
GTX 670 FTW uses a 680 reference PCB

Vs the Asus GTX 670 custom PCB

Picture says a thousand words
 
That doesn't say anything really...Custom PCB doesn't really mean much unless you're doing some sort of mod and it happens to be easier. The 680 PCB is very good on its own.
 
I was trashed last night when i posted that and i'm not even sure what i was trying to say with that post :biggrin:
 
not true. if it was never in stock how was i able to buy one? you have to know when things become in stock in newegg. its been discussed in the forum before.
 
Nvidia 6xx series do not need help in the cooling department so what I am suggesting is buy a reference card and just OC it. As Quoted from benchmarkreviews.com "NVIDIA's Kepler architecture yields a much more efficient operating GPU compared to previous designs. This becomes evident by the extremely low idle temperature, and the modest loaded temperature. What's even more impressive than these results is how quiet GeForce GTX 680 operates, barely changing levels from silent to almost silent as it reaches full load. Even with an open computer case exposing the video card, it's difficult to hear the blower fan make any noise at all."

the 670 reference cooler is a bit noisy according to many people. it seems to have an annoying sound even at idle.
 
The FTW card uses the 680 PCB design making it a stronger overclocking card. Plus the benefit of the 680 cooling fan, thus a quieter card.

The thing that pushed me to buy it (the FTW - just now) was the thought of selling off my old GTX 480 to absorb some of the price.
