GTX 670 Which One?

[Dzzope]

I think with how cool the chip runs, any non silent one will just be fail on the manufacturers part.

The Asus card is very quiet compared to some other cards I've had in the past.

I've heard from a friend of mine that the EVGA cards are quite loud.

This is the one I am going to get. Can't seem to find any cheaper than $419 any ideas of where to look.

Thanks

I think that's about as cheap as you're going to get it. I bought mine right at launch for $390 before taxes, but within a day or two the price had already started to rise.

I actually may be selling mine (it's still brand new in box) as I planned on using it with a 120Hz monitor but the monitor didn't meet my expectations. Plus, it was mainly for BF3 which I won't be playing for much longer due to my inability to support in principle EA/DICE's DLC model. Keep your eyes peeled on the BST section.

Glad you responded I was just about to order from CC. I've waited this long a little longer won't matter

I got my ASUS DirectCU II at SuperBizz for $409 they had a $15 saveings for fathers Day and it is weird running games or benchmarks and it be so quiet ,I even turned it to 100% fan and still coud'nt hear it.I overclock both of them to 1200/6800 and it is faster then all three of my overclocked GTX-470's which were running at 800/1800.plus my video cards never went above 40c if I can believe ASUS GPUTweak software.

Get gpu-z to see if its telling the truth. I've used the asus software in conjunction with gpu-z and its accurate enough that I didn't see an issue

Check the reviews to help with your decision. They're quite thorough compared to some I've seen.

For me, I just got my Gigabyte 670 WindForce 2day and absolutely love it. Whichever one you choose I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

my temperture went up to 55c which is still great when overclocking.
