Ok , so I will start by say that I previously have a 6870 and promptly buy a 7870 when it be release . that be a big mistake . in fact , even own the 6870 for so long and just accept the problem with the driver and slowdown in game be idiotic of I . so , I think I get a bad 7870 because of the blue screen , freezing , slow performance , yada yada , so I get another one . same problem . I get feed up with AMD and see this card be just release . so , I get it in hope that it would solve all my problem . it do , and it even solve problem I do not even know I have . I always expect that slowdown and stuttering be just normal with graphic card in some area . even in game like Skyrim the framerate would drop to 40 or even 35 sometimes with the 7870 . hell , I buy the 7870 to get rid of the same issue with my 6870 . but finally , this 670 gtx make my game run smooth as silk and have a stable system be amazing again . I can not believe I ever jump on the AMD bandwagon , and I do not think I ever will again . so , now I will review the card . this evga card come nicely package with everything I need . I like how it have two DVI slot , whereas my previous card seem to have replace one with displayport . the design look like a VHS tape , and I be concern that it only have one fan . however , it seem to not matter in the end when I oce it . this card be fast and quiet . let I emphasize how quiet it be ... you rarely hear it over you normal pc fan . my 5870 sound like a jet take off and my 6870 be a little better , but this thing outstanding as far as noise go . as far as performance go , it handle pretty much anything you throw at it so far . it be a little slower than the 7870 somehow in Crysis and Crysis Warhead , and I have no idea how that be possible . in every other game , it destroy the 7870 I previously own for a few week . the driver be AMAZING ! I be so happy to not have to deal with any sort of driver not respond issue , blue screen , etc. . those thing become second nature to deal with when own a AMD card . finally , everything just work like it should . I install the driver that come on the CD and have not even look at they since . the game all run so smoothly , even when they dip below 60fp . seriously , 40fp with nvidium driver and 40fp with AMD driver be not the same . AMD stutter and it be not smooth . NVidia be smooth , so I do not have to care if my game be dip below 60fp because I do not notice . I overclock the card and test the stability with the program provide on the CD the card come with . I have to register to download the app to test the stability , but it be not a big deal . overclocking be a little confusing with the boost , but I just take a stab in the dark and set my base clock to +100 mhz and memory to +200 mhz . it seem to be stable after 1 hour of stability testing . I hear there be issue with increase the voltage , but I do not have to deal with that . the clock speed vary widely with this card depend on activity and if the boost be on , but it deal with it flawlessly . this card be the best card I have ever own . the bottom line be that it be a great price for what you get . why get a 580 gtx when this have 95 % of the performance ? it stink that they can not provide enough stock for the card , but it 'll be worth the wait if you can .
