Overview
GeForce GTX 670 is a High-End Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Kepler Architecture.
Architecture
The Kepler Architecture was NVIDIA's big step to power efficiency. Each Stream Multiprocessor (SMX) now hosts 192 Shader Processing Units - against the 48 of older Fermi Architecture, and has been redesigned being now clocked at the same speed of the Central Unit. This means they are more energy efficient and will consequently lead to cooler operating temperatures. However, it also means they are weaker. It can be said that one Fermi SMX is as fast as 2 Kepler SMXs.
Additionally, and not available in all GPUs, Kepler also introduced the Boost Clock Feature. The Boost Clock is an even higher Clock Speed activated when in gaming mode and becomes the effective speed of the GPU.
GPU
It equips a GPU Codenamed Kepler Kepler GK104-N13E-GTX-A2 which has 7 Stream Multiprocessors activated and thus offers 1344 Shader Processing Units, 112 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The Central Unit is initially clocked at 915MHz and goes up to 980MHz, in Turbo Mode.
Memory
The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 1502MHz.
Features
DirectX 11.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for SLI, CUDA, OpenCL, DirectCompute, 3D Vision Surround, PhysX, Realtime Raytracing and other technologies
Power Consumption
With a rated board TDP of 170W, it requires at least a 500W PSU with two available 6-pin connectors.
Performance
With one Streaming MultiProcessor disabled, when compared to the higher positioned GeForce GTX 680, its performance lies somewhere between a Radeon HD 7950 and a Radeon HD 7970. However, at higher resolutions, Radeon HD 7970 is considerably faster.
System Suggestions
We recommend a Powerful Processor (Intel Core i5) and 8GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GTX 670.

will my cpu bottleneck this graphics card?
Yes it will, but only if you start playing on higher resolution on 1024x768 you should be fine. Still it will be massive upgrade to your current card.
Smaller the resolution more work has to be done for cpu
And Will GTX 660 TI work on my Cpu?
Yes sure but I would consider radeon hd 7850 sems good match for your cpu
thanks alot mate.. :)
Gigabyte R9 270X 3X OC 2GB better than the GTX670 and GTX960. Happy with my new GPU. :)
Sorry bud but it isnt faster. GD doesnt take into acct overclocking properly.
You shld still be happy with ur new card tho :)
Gtx 670 is close to r9 280x.
nice card for medium 1080p gaming
its a good update from my current graph or should i take more maney and purchase the GTX 960?
If you're on a budget I'd definitely go for the 960, seeing as the 670 is pretty old. But if you can go for it, go for a 970 because it'll last you atleast 3 years, and is great bang for your buck.
its not that great upgrade but depends how cheap you can get if somewhere 130buck then is worth yes you must to consider its also old tech allready..gtx 960 is also good card for it price but i wouldnt tuch that save mony for gtx 970 or similar from amd r9 290 r9 390..
LOL, The 670 is actually a better card than the 960. It has significantly faster V-ram which can help with being able to turn up certain settings. To be honest games today have not advanced much since 2009. And they do not need much GPU.
of course its better card imoo i know that this was $399.00 when relised and gtx 960 $200 so you cant compare even from this point of view but just go look for some gaming benchmarsk how even gtx 770 cant keep with gtx 960 why maybi you ask nvidia for some answers
Hi, will my CPU (i3-4160) bottleneck this graph. card?
No, Haswell i3s can take one GTX 970 without much problems
as far i know, a ivy i3 can take the GTX 770 and a sandy i3 take a GTX 670 without any problem with bottleneck.
The GTX x80 series need a i5 of minimum CPU for heavy games.
an i3 could actualy bottleneck it in some games. Like GTA V
i3 will bottleneck even gtx 660 in some heavy cpu tensive games like bf4 64 lobby, arma 3 , gta V
Only 1% worse:-).The asus gtx 660ti dc2 oc version is about the same performance as this card with a 100mhz core oc and a 400mhz memory oc.
My i5 runs at 2.8ghz, will i notice a bottleneck and would it be worth upgrading from my current gpu (found one for a great price)
if really the price is good and if you can sell your corrent gpu then go for it should be worth yes abaut bottleneck there would be no bottleneck paired with gtx 670 good luck :)
Will my cpu bottleneck this?
Yes it will :)
I'm still thinking of getting it cuz ill prob upgrade my cpu eventually. Will it be a significant improvement from my current gpu even with the bottleneck?
you could minimaze with oc besides your can be oc well and also i think the bottleneck could be slighty noticed in cpu tensive games but not much.. but why not gtx 960 or amd r 3xxx to come
I actually just found the gtx 96o and was so amazed by its price that i bought it. Thanks for the info
Will this bottleneck my core 2 quad q9300 2.5 GHz?
I'm looking for a decent GPU which wont be too bottlenecked by my CPU, Would I be ok with a GTX670 or would I be better off looking at an AMD card? maybe an R9 280x?
Nah bro you will notice a bottleneck in cpu intensive games maybe if you oc your cpu for about 20% that bottleneck will fade out but still they are still powerfull cards for a a10-7800 :) hope that helps
