Always nice to see that almost 10 months later they are still talking about how well the 670 FTW does against the other 670/680 models.

    Too bad the particular card they reviewed wasn't much for overclocking (1115 boost / 6408 mem). If it had been, the comparison to the ASUS at the end could have come out differently.

    The real question is, with these benchmarks at 2GB, crysis 3 uses more than 2 GB of ram, which im sure crysis 2 does as well.  What if i bought the 4 GB FTW gtx 670? Would i see any difference in fps in my games?

    the difference in FPS its not that big from 2 to 4 gb i use 2 gb one and i use 2650 x 1440 resolution and i never touch 2 gb usage ....1.8 max and in next generation games like crysis 3 if you ever use 4 gb of mem you will dont have gpu power to push that game over 60 fps only if you use 2 or 3 cards in sli or if you have 3 monitors setup then you need more then 2 gb

    I can see why... your card overclocks like crazy!
    1346 core / 7298 mem... i guess keeping the temps down to only 55c helps with achieving those speeds.
     
    My card gets unstable at mem clocks somewhere between 7150 and 7200. I don't know what my max core clocks are just yet. I know it runs at 1280Mhz, but not sure about beyond that. I just have the stock FTW cooler and with the fans running fast enough, I've been able to keep it under 70c thusfar, but not by much.
     
    For grins, I'm gonna find out just how far my card can go on the core clock . I'll put mem at stock speeds and run up the core until it fails (or gets too hot for comfort, whichever comes first). Hope i don't start it on fire or anything catastrophic.

    Lots of happy owners ! Glad to hear from all of you. I too love my 2 670 FTW's, great card. My first card runs 1306mhz core/3707 mhz memory no problem. My 2nd 670 FTW only is able to run at 1280mhz core/3707 memory, but still a decent overclock. Was very happy to see them ranking up on the 680 signature edition on some of those games.
    Here's my sli Valley 1.0 run. My temps don't ever surpass 64C even in benchmarks partially due to my case cooling.
