GeForce GTX 670 Gigabyte 3xWindForce Edition Review

GeForce GTX 670 Gigabyte 3xWindForce Edition is a Special Edition of the powerful GeForce GTX 670. See the standard version for more information about it.
The new features include overclocking out of the box in the core-clock that went from 915MHz to 980MHz while the Turbo Boost can now reach 1058MHz. A new cooling system using the "Triangle Cool" Technology is also featured.
The performance boost is significant and around 5% when compared to the reference GeForce GTX 670 and so even the most demanding games will run at the highest settings and with attractive resolutions.

Even Phenom X6 could fall behind coupled with GTX670 rarely, but that still would be a killer match (CPU a bit dated though) :D

You can get away with the 1100T, if you haven't chosen CPU, I assume you don't have the Mobo either? Core i5 have the best gaming CPUs for the money right now; a capable Ivy Bridge will sufice you :)

The 7970 is a very powerful card. It outperforms the 680 when OCed past 1 Ghz. However, this card performs similar to the 680, if you OC the core to +100 in afterburner. $200 is a substantial difference (imagine the number of games you can buy during a Steam sale!), so I would recommend getting this card instead. OR you can also decide to purchase a 7950 for further savings.
