What gpu do you have? Reference card? If that's the case just get a similar one, I think the one you posted is overclocked and not likely to have the same clock speed as the one you have right now so it will push both GPUs to the lowest clock speed.

lol, you generally dont need a bump on these forums, but anyway.

I'd get another of the exact same card you have now. Two different models of the same card will work fine, but sometimes there can be issues. One issue here would be whilst that Gigabyte card might look like it has great cooling, (it probably is good) all it does is cool the gpu, then dumps the hot air into the case... Which is going to be right under your other 670, or up towards your cpu heatsink then out the case... pretty much warming everything up. Im not sure what card you have now, I presume its a Palit card, but i'd get another one of them. Then you are sure not to have any compatibility issues. And i think the palit cards exhaust out of the back of the case? if any palit 670 overs can confirm?

If you order by the cut off time for dispatch (before about 3pm I think) and they have them in stock it will be generally be dispatched on next day delivery on the day you order, so if you ordered now, you could probably have it tomorrow (presuming its in stock).

Edit: tom_gr7 beat me to it.

Right so if i Order at 12am Thursday morning from PCS i should get it Friday or Monday?. If i got one from Ebay i could order it earlier because of PayPal (PayPal takes a few days to remove the money from your account) i get payed Thursday lol.

12am PCS will be shut :D

but yeah midday you would get it the next day, IF they have it in stock.

But if you order on ebay, and say in 6 months you get a problem with it. Then you need to think about what kind of support are you likely to get? If any? Is it a private seller? Might be a pain to get it sorted through Ebay.
