Re: Video card to replace 4870?

won't be as fast as a gtx 670.

remember to show us some benckmark result. and over clock it.

oh, also one of the hd5770 went to my parents PC, replacing the gtx275. since they dont play any games.

Definitely a good swap with the 275. While it's still a decent card, that was towards the tail end of the era where GPU manufacturers didn't care much about idle power consumption on desktop cards. The 5770 should use a LOT less power at idle.

Well this PNY GTX 670 is a reference design card so I don't expect much in the way of an OC. The price was right so I won't complain.

Yeah, the game deal is quite nice. That's what pushed me to get the 680 when I did. Just as an FYI, Borderlands 2 is through Steam, and AC3 is through Ubisoft and their funky download manager (the game is downloaded in multi-part RARs, WTF?).

Good info there, thanks.

Too bad they both weren't Steam.

BTW, just as a heads-up Newegg has already shipped the order and sent tracking info. Very fast turnaround indeed. The card might get home before I do.

The PNY GTX 670 was just delivered today. That was really fast!
