Final Thoughts and Rating

EVGA's GeForce GTX 670 FTW is a rock-solid card that would fit well into almost any high-end build. Shipping with above-reference core and memory frequencies of 1,006MHz and 6,208MHz, respectively, the card offers GTX 680-like performance and further blurs the lines between NVIDIA's two top-tier single-GPU cards by employing a GTX 680 cooler.

When evaluating in-game frame rate, operating temperature and graphics-card noise, the GeForce GTX 670 performs like a premium GeForce GTX 680 but costs some £50 less. These characteristics make it an enticing proposition, but the FTW card faces stiff competition and in order to stand out, EVGA needs to lower the price tag to move it out of the firing line of ASUS's excellent GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP.

The Good

Offers GTX 680-like performance
Factory-overclocked on both core and memory
Has further overclocking headroom

The Bad

Similarly-priced competition is both cooler and quieter

Small error on Page 9, the top 2 images both say ‘Noise during Batman…’ when they are measuring Power Consumption and Temperature.

670 definitely my next card, dont think I'll bother with a 680, too over priced and an OC 670 is near the standard clocked 680's. For me ASUS might edge it for the quieter life.
Nice card but really quite out of my price range. Now where are those 660Ti's??
Nice review! Typo on first page under GPU Comparisons, you have the Evga labelled as GTW rather than FTW :P
