Zotac are using the same box artwork throughout their range, so sadly no picture of the GTX670 on the front.
The bundle includes a user manual, software disc along side video and power converter cables.
The Zotac GTX670 is a great looking card built on a black PCB, finished in black with orange ‘racing' trim. The cooler is plastic and the fan is off set to the side. It is a dual slot cooler and the hot air will be forced out the rear of the card and outside the case.
The GTX670 has two SLI connectors, for 2, 3 and 4 way configurations.
The card takes power from two 6 pin connectors, which are stacked on top of each other. I find these rather fiddly to fit and much prefer the traditional side by side configuration.
The card has two DVI connectors alongside a full sized HDMI and DisplayPort connector.
The cooler has a copper base which connects with the core. There are plates at the side to cool the memory.
The GTX670 GK104 core is built on the 28nm manufacturing process. The core clock is running at 954 mhz. The memory runs at 1,500mhz (6Gbps effective), and the 2GB of GDDR5 memory is connected via a 256 bit memory interface. There are 1344 CUDA cores onboard alongside 32 ROPS and 112 TMU's.
Fantastic reading thanks GTX660ti all the way for me !
I have wanted the HD7950 now for quite a while, but cant afford it. ive decided to wait until the next gen, later this year. good article, shows the good GTX660ti performance well.
Im very happy with my HD7870, will do me for some time, and when it doesn’t ill pick one up cheap to CF them,
Now this will totally affect my decision on buying a vga
GTX670 is great, but GTX660 ti is the bargain right now. I like that Sapphire card though, im sick of fan noise 🙁
Good article, very helpful as im thinking of buying one for my new system soon.
Greg, you might want to look at the Asus Direct CUII version of the GTX660Ti – I got one recently to replace a Gainward GTX260GS and the reduction in fan noise is astonishing.
I agree with Andrew. Even though the Gainward GFX cards are very durable, but if you want high quality Nvidia cards that are also silent you should look at the ASUS cards with the Direct CUII cooling solution. It’s really no comparison.
Kitguru said: “Today’s article won’t be featuring the AMD HD7970, HD7990 or Nvidia GTX680 or GTX 690/Titan. Not because we don’t like them, but because very few people can afford to buy them.”
This seems very disingenuous. There’s hardly any difference between the avg. 670 and 7970 prices. Does put nVidia at the top of the charts with the O/C’d 670 though. :
Well its not meant to be disingenuous. the GTX680 is the flagship to battle against the HD7970. If we included the HD7970 then we would need to include the GTX680, sometimes seen for £350.
The point was to try and get a variety of cards and not focus on the flagship single GPU cards.
Bear in mind the GTX670 didn’t get a top award in this test, due to the pricing. The Sapphire HD7950 Vapor X did due to cost, cooling, noise etc.
