ConclusionDespite its 12.5 per cent reduction in stream processors and lower base clock, the GTX 670 2GB proved to only be between 5-10 per cent slower than its much more expensive sibling, the GTX 680 2GB. This is no doubt due to the card’s more aggressive use of GPU Boost, as we saw our review sample reach core frequencies of up between 1,045Mhz and 1,084MHz during testing.
In ARMA 2 this saw a minimum frame rate of 56fps at 1,920 x 1,080 with 4xAA and 32fps at 2,560 x 1,600 with 4x AA, both results just 5-6 per cent behind that of the GTX 680 2GB, although also the same, or slower than the Radeon HD 7950 3GB in the same tests.
However, ARMA 2 is the only game where the 7950 3GB comes close to matching the performance of the GTX 670 2GB. In Battlefield 3 its minimum frame rate at 1,920 x 1,080 with 4x AA is an excellent 60fps, 6 per cent slower than a stock GTX 680 2GB and convincingly faster than even the HD 7970 3GB, which manages a minimum of 52fps in the same test.
25 fps faster than a 560ti in BF3 at 1920X1080@Max Settings.
