Is the GTX 670 still a good card?

[numnums]

Hi everyone,

I had the pleasure of owning the then super powerful GTX 670 upon its release, and never thought I would ever upgrade my GPU. Fast forward two years and I bought a 290x upon release ( lol) and haven't really given a thought about it since. Anyways, is the GTX 670 still a relevant card to use in today's modern games? I just have it collecting dust and was wondering how well it would hold up. Any opinions is greatly appreciated!

Around as good as a 760, so yeah, it's not bad at all.

The GTX 670 is still a good card today for modern games, where High/Ultra settings at 1080p is perfectly attainable for most games at 40+ FPS.

[thekeemo]

its about the same as a 760 and the 290x will WRECK IT

Would it work well with an FX-6300 OC to 4.3 ghz?

It's practically identical to a 760. (tmyk not a correction)

For AAA gaming yes definitely. You might be a bit limited in some heavily single-threaded games that are CPU demanding, but the number of them isn't large.

Should work fine with little to no bottleneck.

[Ostwind]

It is, it's as fast a a 760 which is plenty powerful for modern games.

[RevoltTrain]

It's still a really good card, better than what I'm running at least

[DeViLzzz]

The GTX 670 is better than the GTX 760.

[Bussinateur]

670 can run most games on ultra at 1080p

[Humbug]

Still good

[JustCallMeVlad]

670 is a step behind the 680 and faster than the 760. Still a great card today

[Speed6408]

the gtx 670 is a bit faster than the 760 and basically at the same level with a good r9 280 (non x). The only thing that's holding it back nowdays it's the 2gb of vram

[alphaproject]

 

Since you get get a used 770 4gb for around $230-250 not really.  It's still a good card but not for what it used to cost. The best cards out for the money would be the 770/780 series or the R290 series with killer coolers. I suppose if you wanted to go budget the 280X is still decent.

The 670's main problem now is the 2 gb of Vram.

Really its the only reason i still have my ASUS GTX 680 oc card. Does everything that is needed.

 

And I would't see any improvement going to a newer faster card at 1080p 60hz that I use it for.

Its like a 960 speaking performance. The 760 is a 660ti.

It is, it's as fast a a 760 which is plenty powerful for modern games.

 

Starting to show its limitations though on newer games which require 3.5GB+ frame buffer on ultra 1080p, like Dying Light did and like The Witcher 3 and The Division will.

 

But it only takes one step lower shadow map resolution (down to 2048p) to get within the realm of 2GB again, so even Dying Light plays fine on a 760/ 670 on almost max.

 

Pretty sure 4096p is going to be the new standard shadow map maximum in games from now on.

I have a gtx 660 sc and i never go below 60 fps on max settings

[Lumaci]

I went froma  GTX 970 to SLI 670 and i can only say i got more fps then what you would think.
I know many games aint SLI optimized but went from solid 100 in BF4 to SOLID 130+ In BF4 (Ultra without AA)
And thats not even the game i got the most fps in, went from Fallout 4 90 fps to 100, Far Cry 4 60 fps to 90+ FPS, and it only gets better over time.
