I was waiting for the Asus but I'm starting to change my opinion and thinking about going for the Galaxy card now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162109
Had that Galaxy had a black PCB I would have ordered it..

I'm an idiot.. The on screen display for the EVGA tool displays power % first, not GPU usage..
My GPU usage was 98%..
I'm in shock that a single card solution runs BF3 maxed out at 1080P with no lag.. So much better than my 6870's in crossfire.. The microstutter was so annoying.
I don't play BF3 competitively, but it is clear that people running this type of card have an advantage as even aiming seems so much smoother.. I won't miss crossfire one bit.

My card just arrived this after noon, did a quick benchmark!

If I find that you can actually change voltage with controller they put on there I'm selling Gigabyte OC (the second best 670 currently)
I think the answer is unequivocally the ASUS - it's the only graphics card ever been given a 10/10 rating by TPU.

Any Asus sightings yet?
Nothing yet - a post by them on their forums said they'll be coming out very soon so most people are assuming this week. TOP's are gonna be harder to find though since they are going to be binning chips for them.
So after gaming with my EVGA 670 (non SC).. This thing is awesome. The noise level is incredible.. I cant hear it over the 140mm case fans in my Arc Midi even under load. My 6870 CF setup got loud enough I would put my headphones on before I started playing, this thing though after 2 hours of gaming is still quiet.. High temps have gotten into the 60's, but the fan has not gone about 45%.. My 6870's at similar gaming sessions would be in the 80's for both temp & fan speed.. Plus its just smooth & pretty @ 2560x1440
I bought the Gigabyte primarily because it has a VRM heat sink that's independent of the cooler. It makes it simple to WC with my old MCW60 gpu only blocks.
Nice, don't need the TOP version necessarily.
Can you confirm this? I am looking to do exactly this and since there are no fullcover blocks or even VRM blocks out yet, this would save me the effort of trying to attach my own VRM's.

Whats the difference between the TOP version and not?
The windforce gigabyte uses GTX 680 PCB so full cover GTX 680 ref blocks work.
Yes it has a vrm heatsink but I'm not sure that would be sufficient to cool vrms once you take off fans and try to put on gpu only block
Didn't feel like waiting any longer, been waiting since forever and was time to byte (pun intended).
imagine if you got a GREEN PCB
backplate backplate backplate. the backplate doesn't do anything. nothing. and the pcb color... oh my. you fashion conscious walloos

Hehe I hear ya. I got GB too - but flat black spray paint will do what i need done. (all may not want to void warranty but I do on every product I own)
You sir are correct.. The backplate does nothing other then just look damn good..backplate backplate backplate. the backplate doesn't do anything. nothing. and the pcb color... oh my. you fashion conscious walloos
