Wow nice! this thing looks like a good bang for the buck at $399.

Plenty in stock for now at NewEgg too (not sure how long they will stay in stock though):

Yeah they are going quick with all vendors it seems:
http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/gtx670/

I expect it will be like the 680, hard to find and most vendors will raise the price for the following stock cycles...

When the 685 comes out (if it ever comes) I will need to jump on it early on release day I guess hehe, at least it is a good sign of Kepler yields that they have enough to release the lower priced 670.

GK110 is dead, it'll be a long wait for a chip that was doomed from the start, add in yield and binning issues and that pretty much says it is a proto-type chip that never made it. Gx110 (GTX780) will prolly be the same design, a chip 70% larger than the Gx104.

Yeah you are probably right, I'm hoping to hold out for when the Gx110 comes or at least the roadmap is clear, the price war is certainly good news and is making my patience harder to justify :P

Wow looks like EVGA have a GTX 670 SC 4GB VRAM for $489 (in stock as I type this):
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...PWI2muXPW7CGLoA

That 4GB VRAM is what I've been waiting for, very tempted if I was not waiting for the phantom Gx110 (685/780)...

UPDATE: looks like that is actually a pre-order, I was tempted enough to add it to my cart and go through checkout and it says delivery date would be June 21. Good thing as I can now avoid the impulse buy and continue to wait and see biggrin

UPDATE2: I am weak and went ahead and pre-ordered this 670 4GB anyhow, the retail for the upcoming 680 4GB cards is $629 and 580 3GB cards are still selling for $500+ so I figure this 670 4GB at $489 will be going fast, better to try to get one while I can, EVGA stepup program will cover me if the 685s ever appear.

Edit Reason: preordered
