Amazing!,
I got this GPU about a month ago(from a different seller due to payment reasons), it is an amazing card. I can run most of my games(that support it) at 5760x1080p maxed out(this includes guildwars 2 and battlefield 3). it runs cool, it looks great, and it eats any game you throw at it.
Pros:
+Runs Everything
+Keplar based GPU
+Twin Frozr IV cooler design
idle: 28~30c(fan30%) load90~100%: 45~65c(fan 55~65%)
+Dust Removal during boot
Some people find this a con but I actually really like it, when the system starts up as you go thru the boot process the GPU runs its fans at 100% reverse to remove dust. after
20~30seconds it calms down and becomes quiet.
+After boot, it is a vary quiet card
+Runs within a few fps of the GTX680
+Looks awesome
Cons:
-6pin plugs on the far side of the card(but this is nvidia’s idea not MSI’s)
-Only 2GB GDDR5
-as always supplied drivers with GPU’s are outdated and should not be used. download the newest at […]
other:
~keep in mind the 600 series is still really new and for the most part Nvidia as well as game designers have not released optimizing drivers for it.
~if your even considering a GTX670 or higher card, you shouldn’t be saying price is an issue. They always run high.
~a lot of people claim MSI afterburner doesn’t allow the OC’ing ability that it is suppose to, but most didn’t understand that voltage clocking wasn’t enabled until version 2.2.3 which came out at the end of July. I have not tried myself.
~I couldn’t be happier with this card.

|Not as advertised,
While this card does cool well and does overclock pretty nicely, it does have a few things wrong with it. I wanted to leave a review up so people would know officially how the card worked before they bought it with false hopes.
For other pros. I was able to hit 1303mhz stable and the card still stayed at 64c with the fans at 100% and an ambient temp of 28c. As far as noise, I have an AC running so I can’t hear it over that, but it’s about as loud as the reference 670 fan if both were at 100% speed.
Now for the bad part. The overvoltage this card claims to have is false. While it does let you move the slider up, the actual voltage doesn’t increase from the 1.175 that a normal 670 can do. So if you expected to be able to go even higher than the stock amount, all the slider does is set it to normal TDP.
I tested the voltage with a meter hooked up to the card to make sure the software wasn’t lying.
This card might as well just not have the other stuff and just have the twin frozr 4 cooler since that’s all it’s good for.

|Great product, poor support.,
Product:
Great card! Fast, cool, quiet… three things every GPU should strive to be. This one nails all three. If you want a great card, get a GTX 670 (only 4-5% slower than the 680).
Support:
I ordered this card mere days before NVidia launched the Borderlands 2 promo for all 660-680 cards. I called Amazon to see what they could do—nothing. Then they told me that returning it would result in a restocking fee. I would’ve loved to have opened it, put it back in the box, and returned as “DOA” before ordering the same thing from Newegg. Sadly, I don’t have a second pile of cash sitting in my account that can be used up. Never again will I purchase electronics from Amazon.
