Testurteil: "4.5 out of 5 stars"
Test: Einzeltest: ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP 2GB
Zitat: hexus_award_recommended_small
Pro: + Very quiet and relatively cool
+ Solid core overclocking
+ Voltage control over the GPU
+ Matches GTX 680 performance
Con: - No as-shipping memory overclocking
A few factors become apparent when giving the ASUS GeForce GTX 670 Direct CU II TOP a good look. The firm has done a commendable job in ensuring it stays cool and quiet in all conditions, which is a fact worth appreciating given the hike in core frequency over a reference card. Indeed, the TOP´s performance is as good as a GeForce GTX 680´s, thus making its £350 price tag more palatable. And it´s also better than the competing AMD Radeon HD 7900-series cards and, as we found out, than a pair of GTX 560 TOPs in SLI. For the most part, it renders the GeForce GTX 680 redundant, so based on its core strengths of speed, quietness and relative coolness, it´s well worth considering if you want to game with all the bells and whistles on. Perhaps our only gripe is with the lack of out-of-the-box memory overclocking, though a quick foray with the bundled GPU Tweaking utility soon fixes this oversight. Bottom line : The ASUS GeForce GTX 670 Direct CU II TOP 2GB is the best GTX 670 we´ve come across thus far, and, by extension, it´s the best premium graphics card to date.
