Nice!

They should have ran the Borderlands 2 promotion for another month though

Lucky me I ordered my GTX670 the day before the Borderlands promo get it, so I didn't get. Oh well, didn't care much for the first one.

tempting.. I'd prefer a lifetime warranty tho & tbh I think I can get a 680 for closer to that price around bf.. :/

Would it be worth it to pick this up to replace my 460s (1GB) in SLI?

It will be 20-30% faster in most games and use about 100w less power. Up to you.

Thanks, thats what i could not find was a comparison between 2 460s v 1 670. Even the comparitor here at Anandtech did not have the appropriate dropdown.

So how much faster will it be than 1x Gtx 460? 40-60%?

Btw - this deal has changed OP. Price went up $10...

I think you did the math wrong. The 460SLI is already 80% faster, so the 670 is about 110-120% faster.

But you can compare them directly here:

homercles337 I have the same setup and been looking for a while.
I am hoping when ati releases its new cards in nov that the 670 and 680 prices will drop.
but with most of my plans they will go up LOL

they used to release at the same time, don't know why they give a 6 month head start to ati now.

of course when you read stuff like this it makes you wonder about big N now.

the GeForce GTX 650 Ti was on average 7% slower than the old GTX 560 Ti, a graphics card that was released almost 2 years ago now.

 

[RussianSensation]

etrin, AMD has no new cards until next year. Right now the rumored dates for HD8000 series are February-June 2013.

Also, not sure where you got that GTX650Ti is just 7% slower than 560Ti. It's more like 16% to 18%.

That statement was a cut and paste

ATI was saying they planned on getting new cards before the end of the year but Feb or later sounds like more of a REAL release date.
