The fact is a GTX680 is just slightly more powerful than a GTX670 (maybe 5 to 10%), but costs 20% more. The latter is definitely the more sensible choice.
I'm tempted by the Gigabyte Windforce as well.
Reference GTX670 are louder than 680, so a a good aftermarket cooling makes sense.
I just compared the two cards on hwcompare and apparently you're right. I think I'm going
to go with 670 after all, since it's $150 cheaper and and not that far behind the 680.
Thanks!
