Graphics GTX 670 1344 Core 2GB Benchies up early, Launch 10/5

cant believe the size of that pcb, it looks like a soundcard! Imagine one of these on an ITX board, could make a seriously tiny gaming system

 

It's only the GTX 690 thus far in the kepler line that has vapor chambers. The GTX 680 has embedded heatpipes.

 

Some more pictures and info bits for everyone.


Zotac GTX670. Gibbo (Overclockers UK purchasing manager) has said that the only Zotac GTX 670 to use a GTX 680 pcb is their 4GB flavour, so this looks like it's that. But he has no ETA for it at the moment.

Gigabyte Windforce 3X OC v reference GTX 680 As you can see they are exactly the same pcb.

I know the normal one will be clocked at 915/ boost: 980MHz and the TOP edition will be clocked at 1058/ boost: 1137MHz

 

Call me impatient, but...

It's the 10th, and Scan and ocuk haven't got them listed yet!

 

clocks just clicked over to the 10th - NDA will be 2pm UK time

 

The 8th... what?! Haha

 

Very very interesting PCB.

 

Looks like a lovely card for my new tiny system im planning on building muhahaha

 

It's just occured to me; EK have quoted that the 680 block will fit the 670, surely not with the length of the card? It'll overhang like nothing else, won't it? Still; Does mean we might get cheaper blocks for the card, simply because of the sheer tiny-ness of the card.

 

Might be wishful thinking but you never know, but with that small card and a water block on it any build will look very tight indeed.

 

What do you guys think about performance of a 4GB version of the 670...... Going on these numbers, do you think it will deal with 1440p at max setting on most games? Or is the gtx 680 the way to go?

 

For me I'm considering the 670. I was going to go 580 SLI, but if I can do a step-up it will be two 670's.

 

I would like to see a 4GB variant of these at launch, I mean; look at the bare PCB shots, there's half the memory sockets unfilled, assuming that the GPU has the ability to see those; you could totally use a double-memory version of the card straight from the factory on the almost-stock PCB. Whack some Samsung 30nm modules in there and we could all have some fun!

 

the GPU can only see 8 memory chips i think what you are seeing are the back of memory, they could be using a cheaper 4 layer PCB.

even at £200, i can see this 670 being very profitable for nvidia.

 

Hrm, so it would nessecitate double-size modules, rather more expensive, but still possible.

If those cards did come in at £200-£250; I'd be all over them. Grab two, use the money I've saved by not going for more expensive cards to upgrade to a much better screen, ???, Profit!

 

gibbo on ocuk has said they will be at lest £300

 

well then, it'd be a high profit year for nVidia.

i blame AMD for setting their 7970 price too high. 680 forced a slight price drop, but still not low enough considering the amount of performance we SHOULD be seeing. (40nm to 28nm is a massive jump)

 

Now up on scan for £300+

 

EVGA card £300.94 Inc VAT on scan

looks like excellent value in comparison to a 680 as there looks to be only a few frames between them

 

All the prices have been shooting up in the last few minutes. I guess demand is pretty high.
