Final thoughts and rating

We fully understand that laying down over £300 on a single PC graphics card is a serious undertaking. You should expect superlative performance from a card that's also cool and quiet. NVIDIA and AMD's best cards fulfill these roles well, but if it was our money, we'd look to put it on a GeForce GTX 670.

KFA² improves on NVIDIA's design with a meatier cooler and hiked-up frequencies. The GTX 670 EX OC model, as reviewed here, represents a job well done. A combination of better-than-reference clocks and aggressive GPU Boosting capability team together to provide performance which is practically identical to a basic GeForce GTX 680 in a package that costs £50 less.

Factor in the whisper-quiet operation and there's really not much to dislike, if you're in the market for a high-performance graphics card. The KFA² GeForce GTX 670 EX OC functions just like a GeForce GTX 680 equipped with a better cooler, leaving you with enough money to buy a quality game or two. Recommended to the enthusiasts amongst you.

The Good

GTX 680-like performance
Very quiet under load
Looks the business

The Bad

Nothing of note

So an overclocked 670 is almost the same as a stock 680.

Tell me, what's an overclocked 670 like compared to an overclocked 680?

(Overclocked by the manufacturer, or the home user, it's virtually the same results except one of them you don't have to pay for).
Nice looking card. Might be tempted if i didn't buy a 570 a year ago. There is nothing i can't run at max setting at the moment so it seems slightly over kill.
Until the games industry starts to push graphics tech again i see no need for splashing out on this.
agreed, the pc gaming industry has slowed down considerably - im still happy with my 460!

unlike the days of x800xt's and such.. always needing to upgrade then!
The only game I've played since I bought my GTX 285 3 years ago that made me wish I had a bit more power was The Witcher 2, and that still looked great. Looks like it'll make it to 4 years easily.
Well I'm tempted. There's no hope of any price drops for the 680
I'll still wait 'til July time when things have hopefully settled down a bit… but as there is possible talk of 675/685 it could be all change again quite soon.
