Still a decent card for 1080p
1 of 2 found this helpful This gpu will still play all but the most demanding games at 1080p and high settings even after 3 years. If you can find it at a good price, it is something to consider. You can certainly get better performance out of the newer 970, but that card is also over $300. Plus the 970 has that weird RAM issue. The $200 960 is generally better than the 670, but there some games that the 670 is still better at playing. So its not completely superior to the 670.
If you are looking at nvidia, one thing you could do is buy this gpu on the cheap while you save up for a future 1070 release or whatever the next gen gpu may be. We already know that nvidia will be making the move to High Bandwidth Memory, the next generation of RAM with its future cards. So there could be an solid performance boost in that generation of gpus.

The 670 still has value
In this current market where mining is causing serious inflation to the prices of newer graphics cards, the 670 4GB presents a decent value. In particular, the 4GB VRAM is a big help in playing modern games. Most of the 670's out there only have half that. While it lacks the speed of the newest cards, it can still play many games at 1080p with medium or even high settings. Not bad for a card made in 2012.
Quiet is an opinion. Some might think otherwise. For what it is, I think it is reasonable.
Performance is in the range of what 960 and a 1050ti would have. They are usually just a little faster than the 670 at games, but the 670 can beat them in some cases. If all things were equal, those cards might be better. But mining has changed the market. The problem is that those newer cards are much better at mining, so miners are buying them up and inflating prices. That leaves the 670 at a fairly reasonable price, while the newer cards might cost twice as much. As long as you seek out the 4GB version of the 670, I think it has great value. The 2GB version is much less so since many games are using more VRAM these days.
