Description
The GeForce GTX 670 is an average of 10.1 percent slower than the GeForce GTX 680 according to our benchmarks. The price is also about 22 percent lower, however, and you don't need to be a math wiz to realise that the price/performance ratio of the GTX 670 is better than that of the GTX 680.
The most interesting difference is with the similarly priced Radeon HD 7950. Nvidia's GTX 670 performs an average of 14.9 percent better than AMD's card. While you can find some good discounts for AMDs card, at an equal price the Nvidia card gives you more bang for your buck.
In areas other than performance it's a draw. Energy consumption is almost the same and both feature PCI-Express 3.0, support three monitors on one card, an integrated video encoder, excellent video decoder and DirectX 11.1.
With one exception, the GeForce GTX 670 is powerful enough to run games in Full HD on max settings and 4x FSAA. If you plan on using three monitors, then you do need to get a second card to get good frame rates. SLI works fine with the GTX 670. Triple SLI encountered too many compatibility issues for us to be able to recommend it.
