We have always been impressed with the high end MSI graphics cards, thanks in part to the excellent Twin Frozr cooling solutions. Today we look at the latest GTX 670 Power Edition which features a factory configured overclock and the latest Twin Frozr IV cooler. Is this the ideal card to be shortlisting for a new gaming system?

Nvidia's GTX670 has proven popular with the enthusiast gaming audience and for good reason. The price point is certainly very tempting, often costing £100+ less than the GTX680 and HD7970 flagship models.

We already know that an overclocked GTX670 will give the more expensive GTX680 a close run battle. On paper, the MSI GTX 670 Power Edition OC should be ass kickingly good. That said, it doesn't always translate as we would imagine from paper to the real world, so let's take a look at the card.

The MSI GTX 670 Power Edition OC ships with the proprietary Twin Frozr IV metal cooler with multiple heatpipes and dual fan configuration. How does this card slot into the current high end?
