This thing is fantastic. Absolutely slaughters anything you throw at it. Is super fast and easy to install. It is quite large. If your looking at upgrading a dell xps8500 (as i was originally intending) you will have a bit of a problem. The graphics card will fit but the PSU needed to get the most out of it wont. However, I have since built a new machine and this thing fits nicely into the corsair 550D. Initially the fans on the card were running a bit loud. The 550D is a silent case with sound proofing and it was too loud. I understand that a performance card isnt going to be silent, but still. After running 3d mark (excellent scores and temp at full load didnt go above 80C. Temps at idle remain at around 27C) it must have given it a blow-out or something as it has been whisper quiet since then. I would highly recommend this card to anyone looking for a gtx670.
I've been running with twin, water cooled HD6970's for around 12 months. I run at 2560*1600 and they coped pretty nicely with most of the games I could throw at it. Exceptions started to appear however. Maxed Crysis 2 DX11 would cough and stutter a bit. BF3 same story. Time for a change it was.
I quick bit of scouting around and I end up deciding to jump GPU ship again from AMD back to Nvidia. The choice was between the HD7970 and the GTX 670. When it can to the resolution I'm running at, the 670 seemed the way to go so here I am.
The 670 AMP seemed a bit past halfway house on the cost front between the 670 and 680 but when I saw one at a very decent price (<£50 more than a standard 670), I got the card out and made the purchase.
Now that it's been in and running for 10 days I've got to say it's the most impressed I've been with a card since the 8800GTX (2006ish). Crysis 2 DX11 is now fluid. BF3 is absolutely stunning. And what I though was a game issue on Wargame EE, where there was initially stuttering at the start of a campaign, is now gone too. In a nutshell, performance is staggering. Rumour has it that it beats a stock 680 on certain benchmarks.
This machine is used for work too and I demand machine that runs as close to silence as possible. Hence the water cooling on the HD6970's. I had already began researching what I would have to do to get the same level of noise again and I was going to be looking at another £100. Ouch. But then the card arrived and was fitted. Power-on and there it was, that NOISE! But once the driver was installed in Windows, the fans practically stopped. Fractionally noisier than the old setup but easily liveable even for my fickle mind - and I run open chassis so the fan noise is even more exposed. So this would all change once I stretched its legs a bit? Ermmmm, no. In Speedfan it reports that the GPU as I compose this, is at 29C. When I run something GPU hungry for an hour, when I come back out, the temperature is around 50-60C. In GPU land, that is ice! The fan doesn't seem to do too much. Sure it ramps up a bit but nothing significant. Easily the quiestest, out of the box card, I've ever owned. And the warranty stays intact for a change...
I can't comment on whether the extra money for over clocked performance is worth while since I've not seen a GTX670 in action at this resolution. I would hope it is. Highly recommended piece of tech!

bought this for my stepson and he is extremely happy with it, not being a gamer myself I have no knowledge of these things but am more than willing to take his word for it and recommend this product.
