GIGABYTE GV-N670WF2-2GD GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: I have had my Gigabyte GTX 670 SLI setup since January and I am very happy with it. So far there has not been a game that my rig can't play with every thing on max. Well worth the price. I had debated on getting the GTX 670 or GTX 680 for a couple month's before I got this. In the end I am happy because with the price of the GTX 680 I could have not got two for SLI. I play most of my games on 3 Asus 27" monitors at 5760x1080 and I do not think even one GTX 680 could have played at that resolution max/ultra settings.

Cons: The only Con would be that Nvidia's Surround is not even close to the quality of AMD's Eyefinity. Nvidia has a lot of things to get fixed before that can happen. It works but in most cases just. Not so much with games but at the desktop level is where Nvidia has problems. But even at that I still recommend the GTX 670 to anyone looking for a Nvidia card. The Gigabyte GTX 670 is a quality GPU

Other Thoughts: If you are thinking of getting a GTX 670 or GTX 680 get the GTX 670. It is really very close to the performance of a GTX 680 but $100 less. After having seen a GTX 680 on a friends rig I was very glad I did not get one. The difference in every game I tested was so little it would have not had a impact on any game even running on max/ultra settings. I can play every game I have at 60fps VSyc'ed at 5760x1080 with no slow down what so ever. So with two cards in SLI I saved over $200. Money I was able to put to use else where on my rig.

Pros: Plays pretty much anything on max settings.
At max load it runs at 30-35C.
Came with Borderlands 2 and Assassins Creed 3.

Cons: If you turn the fans all the way up to 100% it gets pretty loud.

Other Thoughts: I got this card for my first build, I've had it for about three months and it's been great. Although the fans get loud at 100%, I don't mind and I also have never had them go to 100% speed unless I made them.

Pros: -Didn't get to try it

Cons: -First one to DOA?

Other Thoughts: -RMA, will update when I get the new one

Pros: This card has been in use for several months. It has proven to be totally reliable and very, very fast. I ended up using this card in a new computer build. The limiting factor on the computer is the SSD drive. The video card pegs out the windows experience number at 7.9.

Cons: None after months of operation.

Pros: Great speed, visuals while it worked, FOR ONE MONTH!

Cons: Only lasted one month of use.

Pros: For now it works. I bought this to SLI with my MSI GTX 670. Temps are low (around 63c at full load, compared to 75-77 on the MSI reference design card)

Cons: None at the moment.

Other Thoughts: Have not used the card much on it's own yet, and haven't tried overclocking it, because then I would also have to overclock my MSI card, which does not want to overclock at all.

I will write a new review later if it continues to work well.

Pros: This is a very powerful machine; plays most games at max settings.
It overclocks. I'm stable @ 1110 MHz core ~= 18% improvement over stock.
Powerful stock cooling: runs 50-60 at MAX load.
Fans are silent below 60%, but they seldom exceed 50%.
PhysX, 3D Vision, Surround, SLI, etc.
(Good) Free games :3
Should fit in any ATX case.
$20 Rebate.

A perfect upgrade from an ATI HD 6850. I have no regrets.

Cons: It's pricey for my budget... :P

Other Thoughts: The neighborhood:
AMD FX-6300 @ 4.5 GHz
MSI 970A-G46
DDR3 RAM @ 3096 MHz

I think I get a slight CPU bottleneck in a few occasions.

Pros: Handles every game I throw at it on max settings and silky smooth game play! (Far Cry 3 on max settings, no problem. Skyrim on max settings, no problem. Assassins Creed 3 on max settings, no problem.) My CPU is an Intel i5 3570K at 3.4GHz, 8 gigs of RAM and Win 7 64bit. Currently, I'm not using the full potential of this card as I game on a single LCD (1680x1050). In the near future, I plan on adding another LCD monitor or getting a larger monitor and then I'll be able to make full use of it. The card is quiet! and stays cold under load.

Cons: Doesn't turn lead into gold.

Other Thoughts: Gigabyte has a great card here! Fast, quiet and stays cold under load. What are you waiting for, order this card!!!

Pros: Very nice card for a decent price, also comes with 2 free games, pretty awesome.

Maxes skyrim (with an absurd amount of mods), borderlands 2, wow, planetside 2, most photoshop cs5 work, and im sure it can handle maya, zbrush and nuke particularly well. seems like a solid mostly quiet card.

Cons: havnt had it long, also when installing drivers, it required me to pull all other nvidia graphics cards out and uninstall all old drivers / delete directories, then do a fresh install for the new card, since i run 4 monitors non sli afterward I added other card back in, took me an hour to figure it out.

Other Thoughts: every once in a while I'm noticing it hang or pause slightly when I start to push my system really hard, I work in graphics and design so im very critical of the system, but honestly its a very subtle pause or quirk. I probably shouldnt be pushing a system that hard anyways.

Pros: The cards runs cool at avg temps of 30-35 C
Runs quiet.
PLaying WoW MoP this card is absolutely amazing! (please read the cons)
2 DVI I ran this card in Dual display no issues.

Cons: Ok heres the bad part of an amazing card.
I use this for WoW MOp, it constantly had driver has stoped responded but recovered, black screen crashes.
I contacted NVIDIA and tried BETA drivers, previous drivers, switching back to DX9 , lowering settings (Not thrilled ) Needless to say the card did not perform for me for what I intended to utilize the card for. Also this happened on D3. So I had the card RMA and bought the Sapphire 6870 It is running also on Ultra/High, in dual display.

Other Thoughts: Newegg customer service is the best, I received the card 1 day early, had it for 3-4 days (mostly trying to fix the issues I described above) No problem talking to customer service and receiving an RMA for my new card which I received the next day!
I will always buy my PC parts from NEWEGG and Highly recommend anyone else to do so.
