| What should I say. I mean the GeForce GTX
670 DirectCU II Top leaves the AMDs Radeon HD 7950 in a cloud of dust.
You don't really need to compare this card to a 7950. Even a reference
Radeon HD 7970 is no match for this heavily overclocked card.
Furthermore ASUS equipped it with their dual slot DirectCU II cooler
which is almost inaudible. An then there is the power consumption where
this card excels too. So what do you want more? We really didn't find a
thing that isn't perfect with this card. This is the first time ever we
experienced such a situation (after more than 700 reviews!). |

| Because of its very high
clock speeds this card outperforms a reference Radeon HD 7970 quite
easily. In fact, in some games this card is even faster than a reference
GTX 680. The massive factory overclocking really makes this a quick
card. And the card gets even better if you look at power consumption. In
this test it's almost in a league of its own. Last but not least there
is ASUS DirectCU II cooler. This time they put they mounted their dual
slot version on the card. The noise level is really low and even under
full load the cooler is almost inaudible. |

| The recommendation
for this card is quite simple: If you're looking for a new high-end
graphics card that costs about 400 Euros (est. CHF 480.-), then there is
not better alternative then this card. |
