Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 GC 2GB Q's

Sammells · 10th August 2012, 11:29 AM

Hey guys, how are we?

Just a quick question regarding the Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 GC 2GB. They have just come available for $409 on PCCG and I'm extremely tempted. Few basic questions.

Is this using the 680 PCB?
Anyone had bad experiences with Galaxy card?
Is overvolting enabled?

So tempted, really tempted so sell my 570 and upgrade. Any ideas?

Did you read the review that is linked on PCCG:

http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/..._card_review/1

It says:
"The GALAXY GeForce GTX 670 GC is printed on GALAXY's custom PCB. The custom PCB is full length, not following the shortened PCB that NVIDIA had paired the GPU with. " - http://www.hardocp.com

Apparently you can, just not on the reference 670 PCB. Other vendors such as Asus, MSI, with their chips can be overvolted......
