While the worst ones steal attention in forums and on hardware sites, Nvidia is preparing more graphics cards with the architecture Kepler, even for those who are not prepared to shell out more than SEK 4,000 for an upgrade. In a couple of weeks, it’s time for the Geforce GTX 670.

Chinese Mydrivers publishes photos and specifications for a Geforce GTX 670 from MSI. As before, it is about the graphics processor GK104, but this time with 1,344 CUDA cores, to compare with 1,536 computing units in GTX 680. The clock frequencies are also a bit lower and stay at 900 MHz GPU and 5.0 GHz GDDR5 memory.
The pictures reveal an anonymous black cooler, by all accounts the reference model, which is funny enough shorter than the circuit board itself. The connectors for the power supply move in about a decimeter and end up closer to the center of the graphics card. More details are connections for two DVI, HDMI and Displayport as well as contact surfaces for SLI.
According to SweClocker’s sources, the Geforce GTX 670 will be launched on May 10 at a recommended approximate price of SEK 3,800 including VAT.
