You can get a 670 for £287
Or you can get a 660 for £275.

Too much IMHO.

Bah, in my neck of the woods, some GTX660 Ti's cost more than a GTX670, peeps, do some research and price checks before commiting. IMO, it's silly to buy a GTX660 Ti when a GTX670 can be had for a little more, equal amount or even less than the GTX660 Ti. Heck, the Palit GTX670 2GB I'd gotten cost less than a souped up GTX660 Ti....ridiculous. Glad I'd decided to commit to the GTX670 SLi plan.

The pricing is way off, far too expensive. They need to come down if nvidia want to sell any.

You are right.

AMD is filling the price gaps at the moment, things will settle after a bit.

And the game stats are give and take.

It is a very good video card, even if I lean a ATI and they do not emit much noise.

Prices are stupid, i think the reference model was supposed to be listed as 300 dollar, but here in the eu, a reference is 320 euro, thanks nvidia/retailers for the big shaft in our back.

A msi 660ti twinfrozr, 349 euro, put down 20 more and you have a 670, what the hell.

Ah thanks, deleted. Yeah i reckon the price will drop after a while. Still think my 7850 is best bang for buck.

That's messed up. Here in US and Canada, you can get an msi 660 ti for $299
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127697

I think $299 or less is a fair price, but I guess the prices in the UK or Europe aren't. I'm no computer expert though, so I might be wrong.

Your not wrong, the pound and euro currency is still worth more then dollars, 300 dollar is not 300 euro.

However, since this is launch day and many people have been expecting them, i dont mind the prices now, but if they stay the same for a month, then it is wrong.

Too much IMHO.
British Pound £229 + £46 VAT = £275 or in our currencies USD $359 + $72 Taxs = $431 so that is expensive.
It should be about British Pound £191 + £39 VAT = £230
Now if we where buy it at a local retail store here in USA $299 + Taxs which can be $0 to high side of $34 depend on the state where you live at in USA.
