ASUS Launches 4 GB GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II
We've seen more announcements on 4GB boards in the past week, ASUS now follows as well with their GeForce GTX670-DC2-4GD5. The cards is based upon their DirectCU II 2-slot design and now thus comes with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory. The memory bus obviously remains 256-bit with the memory itself clocked at a 6 GHz effective datarate (192 GB/s).
The card makes use of a custom-design PCB, with 6+2 phase Digi+ VRM that uses SuperAlloy choke. The Digi+ VRM controller provides a certain degree of software voltage control using the GPU Tweak tool. But as you have been able to read, that will be limited. The core clock is set at 915 MHz, with a 980 MHz GPU Boost.
Monitor wise you can connect towards two DVI, and one each of HDMI and DisplayPort. The 4 GB GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II from ASUS is to be priced around US $450.

Really sucks that Nvidia is locking the Vcore down to 1.175. Really no reason to jump at a card with beefed up VRM when even reference cards will offer the same overclocking experience. Glad to see more vendors offering 4GB variants though. ASUS's DirectCU designs are almost always top in their class compared to other vendors' offerings so this card definitely still has something to offer over other models.

Excellent, 2gb just isn't future-proof enough.
Not that nvidia cards are gonna be very future-proof anyways now they're anti-OC.
they are not anti overclock they are anti overvolting. thats a big difference

no overvolting puts a very short leash on overclocking.

thats dependent on each and every individual card. the actual models that would be affected are evga ftw 680 and msi lightening. castrating both cards, the vast majority of models have always been restricted and probably could not handle higher volts for long periods of time
