QUOTE(rav3n82 @ Aug 17 2012, 11:02 AM) I'm sure if you share them with lingloong, he will happily match the price. yup price isnt that cheap but i guess thats what they expect us to pay for a card that has performance as close as 670.yoongkeen/zhen^wei - RM1439 rockrock - RM1400 Added on August 17, 2012, 11:03 am Keep your 670 bro. The current pricing for 660 Ti also not really that attrative anyway. What 670 you're using btw? Right now using asus 670 (non top) but will be watercooling it next year so thinking of changing to a reference design card since i will need to remove the cooler & replace with a WB anyways. or i could just wait till next year & change at that time... |

QUOTE(law1777 @ Aug 19 2012, 04:42 PM) Added on August 19, 2012, 4:52 pmthat guy is just lucky coz he seems like he got a GOLDEN 670 there.. and that 680 of his is just so so.. because asus 680 top can reach 1367+- Maybe those who owns a 680 could do a max oc & benchmark it for us to clarify it since for 670 already got benchmark results? Would be great if those who owns a 660TI to max oc it & post the benchmark results too QUOTE(law1777 @ Aug 19 2012, 07:23 PM) its better to compare head to head. example 670 oc @ 1250 vs. 680 oc @ 1250 and see how much r the differences in scores n fps Yeah to be fair i guess they should do a benchmark with both running at same clock speed & memory but the purpose of that thread i think is for max oc of both cards & comparing it. |

QUOTE(ukimaro @ Aug 20 2012, 07:23 PM) yea i was benching using unigine yesterday. it crashed after 1060mhz gpu clock without voltage tweaking. overclocking now is more tricky than before. I strongly advice you to read this thread: http://www.overclock.net/t/1265110/the-gtx...ng-master-guidewas aiming 1100mhz though. but anyways if increasing the voltage to max in afterburner, is it considered safe ? Best guide available that i manage to find, but to answer your question i believe by increasing the voltage you will just end up decreasing the performance of the card because the temps will surely rise more than 70'C. Unless you are watercooling it then its another story.... EDIT: btw maxing out the power target is safe, but core voltage probably not.

QUOTE(ukimaro @ Aug 20 2012, 07:44 PM) thank you for the link bro, yes thats why. yesterday i bench then i tweak the voltage by 1 notch but still crash in unigine with 1100mhz, after that don dare already lol .. you need to max out your power target first. Because with the kepler cards, they adjust the voltage dynamically & when overclocking mine i notice it crashes whenever the voltage changes but if you max out the power target, the voltage will be constant.Another culprit is probably your temps, if it reaches more than 70'C then thats probably the reason why it crashed. You need to keep it under 70'C so you probably need to adjust the fan graphs. This applies to the non top cards, not sure about other brands though but i heard for the TOP version the temps are at 80'C instead of 70'C. |

QUOTE(riderz135 @ Aug 21 2012, 01:03 PM) wouldnt say "free dust" it blows out dust from the card but dust will clog at your processor, casing fans & around the casing...so you probably still need to do cleaning as usual but probably less on the graphic card. It will probably make cleaning of your graphic card easier Best is to put filters all around the air intake areas, that will minimize the need of cleaning This post has been edited by infernoaswen: Aug 21 2012, 05:59 PM |

QUOTE(rav3n82 @ Aug 23 2012, 10:07 AM) From my experience, it is often priced somewhere in between the cheaper ones from Leadtek and the pricier ones from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte. If budget is of your upmost importance, go for Leadtek instead. different case for gtx 670...galaxy seems to be more expensive compare to other brands. |

QUOTE(ImAintNerd @ Aug 23 2012, 10:43 PM) hello nvidia users I am a proud user here lol. reliable? i been pushing it to the max while playing bf3 so yeah pretty reliable i would say. Only the TOP version had issues when it was released but now everything is settled with a bios update. As for NON TOP version, no issues from the day it released till today.does asus gtx670 non top dcu2 is a reliable card? its headroom for oc is big enough? coz me only can find most detailed review for top model... and who's the cheapest seller in LYN? coz me only got rm1350.. OC headroom is too big i would say...i overclock mine to the max & performance is on par with STOCK gtx 680. MSI PE is also quite good...if overclock that its 3-4fps better than asus. Gigabyte also not bad...but in the end it comes to personal preference. 3-4 fps wont show much difference, but reason why i went for asus is because it matches my ROG colour scheme + comes with a backplate. I heard someone got for rm1300 at viewnet....so should be somewhere around there lor... |

QUOTE(hfi @ Aug 24 2012, 09:53 PM) The boost clock on gpuz is just the 'guaranteed' boost clock that the card will deliver under max load but it can actually go beyond that boost clock. That extra boost (on top of the stated max boost) is what being dubbed as the Kepler boost and every card has different kepler boost. someone did his homework by reading the overclock.net thread Your card with boost of 1248 and max boost of 1340 is capable of doing 92 kepler boost. That's quite decent since good oc are the ones to be above 1300 range. My PE is rather average, only capable of 65 kepler boost and i'm only stable at 1293 but i'm settling with 1263 for 24/7 usage. Btw, make sure the max boost is consistent when you benchmark. If it fluctuates, it's more or less unstable and it's something you may want to work on. Also the card will throttle when it either reaches 70c or exceeding the power limit threshold. |

QUOTE(pcminc @ Aug 26 2012, 07:12 PM) Rule no.1: Define your budget first, then buy a graphic card within that budget.Never add extra just because the graphic card is faster than another (well if its less then rm50 i guess its an exception). Technology & games are keep improving fast, today you bought something awesome...in couple of months something better will come out that outperforms your card & more demanding games will be out and they cycle will continue. So you cant compare today's technology with future, but most of the games can adjust settings, so if more demanding game comes out later you can still play it by adjusting the settings. I also like you before, i overspent my budget & got a gtx 670. Although its a powerful card but now i dont have enough money to watercool my rig...need to wait till next year |

QUOTE(Alfsaw @ Aug 28 2012, 03:03 PM) PE stable OC at 1340mhz? Highest Ive tried for mine is 1350mhz, scared to go higher though i know its possible. card clock speed dosent matter for oc anymore, oc-ing is slightly different now. Most important is the kepler boost as your card wont be running whatever mhz you think you set it. Will surely run higher than that.QUOTE(law1777 @ Aug 28 2012, 04:09 PM) nope, there are silent fans out there too & like what zerohunter said...the flow is very important too.QUOTE(rav3n82 @ Aug 28 2012, 04:17 PM) A reference 670 uses a centrifugal fan (aka blower) that directly expels out the hot air (from cooling the GPU) from your casing. So i guess adding more chassis fans wouldn't help much. A typical two fan setup, one as intake, and one as exhaust should be enough. +1. Well said. Those corsair watercooling cpu will go well with reference design gpu. Non-reference design usually does not expel all the hot air out from the casing. There are some that retains inside the casing, so good casing ventilation is important. Added on August 28, 2012, 5:59 pmwhat! the new driver decreased my heaven benchmark score! will confirm this during the weekends to figure out why different scores and do more benchmark testing..

next time if anybody in this thread ask the difference between reference design card & custom please give them this link and ask them to watch it:

flashing to a modded bios can void warranty if i am not mistaken. In case anything goes wrong there might be a chance they wont accept the card for RMA if they can check the bios.
