NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 Review Feat. EVGA: Bringing GK104 Down To $400
by Ryan Smith on May 10, 2012 9:00 AM ESTMetro: 2033
Paired with Crysis as our second behemoth FPS is Metro: 2033. Metro gives up Crysis’ lush tropics and frozen wastelands for an underground experience, but even underground it can be quite brutal on GPUs, which is why it’s also our new benchmark of choice for looking at power/temperature/noise during a game. If its sequel due this year is anywhere near as GPU intensive then a single GPU may not be enough to run the game with every quality feature turned up.
With our second game the GTX 670 already begins to dig itself out of its hole from Crysis. Like the GTX 680 it doesn’t do particularly well here compared to AMD’s best, but it’s enough for a very slight lead on the 7950. At the same time however the GTX 670 falls farther behind the GTX 680, hitting an 8% gap at 2560.

To think a few months ago you could have gotten a pair of 7970s for $1100.I'm betting there are a lot of sad AMD fans out there. Their viral marketing group in the forums is going to have a rough year for sure.

I doubt anyone that places happiness in their preferred companies products being #1 is all too happy to begin with ;)RampantAndroid - Tuesday, May 15, 2012 - link
Sure, but realizing that waiting a few months could have saved them serious $$$.Same probably goes for GTX680 owners.

The partners of nVidia are going to be happy, because what comes out of the 680 and 670 is an auto overclock and an overclockable card, with locks on power increases, and therefore far, far less chance of anything burning out.Overclock to your hearts desire - you won't be burning these up while the amd cards will still be a housefire and cost the partners plenty to replace.
nVidia's partners are very, very happy.
