NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 Review Feat. EVGA: Bringing GK104 Down To $400
by Ryan Smith on May 10, 2012 9:00 AM ESTStarcraft II
Our next game is Starcraft II, Blizzard’s 2010 RTS megahit. Much like Portal 2 it’s a DX9 game designed to run on a wide range of hardware so performance is quite peppy with most high-end cards, but it can still challenge a GPU when it needs to.
Starcraft II is another game that just doesn’t seem to be pushing shading or texturing very hard, and as a result the GTX 670 does well for itself here. Against the GTX 680 it’s within 3%, while at 2560 it has a 10% lead over the 7970.

To think a few months ago you could have gotten a pair of 7970s for $1100.I'm betting there are a lot of sad AMD fans out there. Their viral marketing group in the forums is going to have a rough year for sure.

I doubt anyone that places happiness in their preferred companies products being #1 is all too happy to begin with ;)RampantAndroid - Tuesday, May 15, 2012 - link
Sure, but realizing that waiting a few months could have saved them serious $$$.Same probably goes for GTX680 owners.

The partners of nVidia are going to be happy, because what comes out of the 680 and 670 is an auto overclock and an overclockable card, with locks on power increases, and therefore far, far less chance of anything burning out.Overclock to your hearts desire - you won't be burning these up while the amd cards will still be a housefire and cost the partners plenty to replace.
nVidia's partners are very, very happy.
