I must say that I be in love with this card ! I upgrade from a q6600\/evga gtx470 to a i7 37700k\/gtx 670 . the old rig serve I very well but it be finally time . I have be wait for the 600 series and Ivy bridge to drop for the last 6 month , and I be really glad I do . the old config just wasnt able to drive my 1920x1200 28 '' setup and my Nvidia 3D Vision projector setup at full setting . with this new cpu and the 670 , I be able to run everything max out usually above 60fp -lrb- which I consider a bit overkill , but in 3d mode I really do need the performance -rrb- . bf3 64-player mp battle be be bottleneck by my old cpu big time , but even on empty server I be only get 35-45fp with certain settin . with the new hardware combo I be get around 120fp with the same setting . with every setting max in full 64-player map @ 1920x1200 I can hold a solid 60fp . my CPU be only runnign at abt 50-60 % so I have ample room to later add in a 2nd gtx670 if need and when price drop . about the look : I be really dread buy this card because the picture make it out to look ghastly . whilst it be still not exactly pretty per-se , its nowhere near as ugly as the picture make it out to be . the mesh on the side be decent , and the `` white '' strip along the top be actually brush aluminum . there be other manufacturer that have better design -lrb- even ref be nicer imo -rrb- , but EVGA have the best customer service\/warranty -lrb- which be now intl. -rrb- \/ and the step-up program so I really do not have any other choice . if the ftw version be available on launch day I would have get that . another point to look out for : this card only have 1 dvi-i port and the other be dvi-d . this be a problem for I because both my 28 '' ViewSonic and H5360 3D projector need dvi-i . so in order to connect both at the same time -lrb- and be able to switch use Windows + p -rrb- , I would need to use 1 DVI out plus 1 dvi to VGA converter -lrb- for the projector -rrb- . however , there be no converter from dvi-d to VGA . currently I be use my old 470 as a physx card plus output for the PJ . I 'll prolly sell it and replace it with my very old 8800gt , but that my problem . all in all , the 670 be a truly great buy if you can get it at the $ 399 msrp !!
