this GPU be amazingly fast and incredibly well do . I would want to build a new pc for gaming and consider get the gtx680 , but the price-to-performance point be with the 670 . in all honesty , I would have get the gtx 670 ftw -lrb- for the win -rrb- version , but it be out of stock on Amazon , so I opt for the 4gb card . most game be not go to take advantage of the 4gb of memory unless you be run in SLI and run with multiple -lrb- 3 + -rrb- monitor . even if you be just run one card , the 670 be the perfect price point for performance \/ $ $ . the card can run a bit hot -lrb- 73oc -rrb- when run something like bf3 max out at 1920x1200 , but cool down quickly when you be out of game . stay very cool -lrb- 35oc -rrb- when idle or do basic browsing , email , etc. .
