Many graphics card vendors have different ranges through which they group cards based on different levels of tweaked performance and for MSI this has mainly resided around the top level Lightning series cards, much like the GTX 680 Lightning that we looked at mid last year in June and the lower entry level HAWK range that offered up value options for the budget user. MSI however have noted that there is a gap to be filled in between these two card ranges and this is where the Power Edition range of cards come into play.

The Power Edition is MSI’s way of offering up a balance between overclocked performance off the shelf and great value for that performance at the same time. This is not to mean that cut backs have been in other areas however. With these cards we still see the same high level of quality that we would with any other card including the feature of MSI’s Twin Frozr cooler and Military Class III components.

The 670 Power Edition comes in a blight blue box with minimal detailing of the card’s features on the front. We do see though that this is an overclocked card and features the Twin Frozr IV cooler as well as an enhanced PWM design and triple overvoltage. Under the front flap we find a whole host of information on the cards features including a dust removal system that spins the two fans in reverse for thirty seconds to expel any dust that may have built up.

Alongside the card we find a pair of molex to 6-pin power adaptors and the obligatory DVI to VGA adaptor as well.

    Whilst this is the same card that’s currently running in my rig I find it to be poor value as opposed to the HD 7970 which can be had (in South Africa at least) at an equivalent or cheaper price. But seeing I got this thing for free I’m not complaining. Great performance (if not overkill) at 1080p.

      Free is always good lol The whole 670/7970 debate is always a tough one as the cards excel is different areas. If you are using your card for other tasks (not gaming) then the Nvidia card will win, when it comes to folding and GPU acceleration in certain software.

        I tested cards from both manufacturers from very entry level all the way to the range toppers but my personal rig is kitted out with a GTX 670. As you say each have their advantages but from my experience I’ve found the HD 7970 to be slightly better value for money overall (at least in South Africa but mileage could vary depending on location). Generally I find nVidia is slightly faster.in frame for frame gaming but what difference does 5/6 fps make when you’re running well over 60 fps anyway? If I paid for my cards I would take the cheaper everytime. That said I’m really looking forward to getting my paws on the GeForce Titan. Pity my suppliers won’t let me keep it so I’ll just go sit in the corner and sulk.

    A heavily overclocked 7970 will blow the shit out of any single GPU nVidia card, even including the 680. Check out Anand’s benches, in most, the 680 loses to the 7970 Ghz by a margin.

    But that’s purely because the 7970 Ghz has a higher stock clock.

    The only card that’s the exception is the Galaxy 680 White, AKA, KFA2 680 LTD OC.

    That card is built better than anything out in the market. With it, you’re looking around a 1200 Mhz OC.

    That card can pull the heels of a Titan.

      the 7970, wouldn’t stand a chance against the Titan…

      • johndoe

        Chris, you do realise the Titan did not exist at the time I wrote that comment, right?

        And Epiphone’s fucking suck shit. Gibson LP’s are the way to go.

        LOL.
