Gigabyte GTX670 OC Video Card Review

The Gigabyte GV-N670OC-2GD measures in at 10 inches in length making it a relatively compact and features the dual slot Windforce cooling solution.  This triple fan cooler is designed to maximize cooling performance while still remaining silent.  Despite there being three 76mm fans you would hardly notice them, even under an intense gaming session.

Flipping the card over we can see the Gigabyte blue PCB and a few modifications to the standard reference PCB.  Can you say custom design?

Video output is comprised of two dual link DVI video outputs combined with a single Display Port and standard HDMI connection.  All four of these can be used at the same time allowing you to run 3-way surround and still have a spare monitor for use outside of the game.

3-way and 4-way SLI are possible using the GTX 670 given the dual SLI bridge connections found at the top of the card.  It is also nice to see that the Gigabyte Windforce cooler drops down to allow for solid SLI bridges to be used instead of relying on flexible bridge cables to wrap around the cooler.

Looking across the top of the card you will notice what might also be one of the nicest looking reinforcement bracket we have ever seen.  Watch out though it gets damn hot during the course of benchmarking.
