Whilst other manufacturers tend to stick rigidly to the idea that if it isn't blue and black it should be red and black, Zotac have always ploughed their own furrow with their yellow and black colour scheme. We really like it, and it's different which is always a good thing. Although most of you don't see enough hardware to grow tired of certain combinations, we most certainly do, so a Zotac product always makes a welcome change.
The card itself is tiny, but the cooler actually fits on it perfectly. Considering how little space there is to work with (the card isn't much longer than a PCI Express socket) Zotac have done a great job in miniaturising their AMP! cooler whilst still keeping the proportions pleasing to the eye.
There is no doubt that the orange fans help to provide an eye-catching centrepiece to the card.
Otherwise it's business as usual with two DVIs, an HDMI and a DisplayPort, with power provided by the two 6pin PCIe connectors.

Also price difference between the 660ti and 670 is next to nothing, no reason not to save a few extra £ up and go for the 670 or save some money and grab a 7950.
You also didn't say what tesselation? disabled/normal/extreme ?
OC 7950 smokes the OC 7970? wtf?
I bought a GTX570 and it cost £240 then, it still costs £220 now!
The GTX670 came in upwards of £350 and they are still over £300.
The sweet spot for these cards I believe is around £250 at launch.
Then a little while later, when prices begin to fall, the special editions come around and they can charge a bit more.
You mentioned the importance of aesthetics in your review Tom. On that note I would bring your attention to your graphs. I find them difficult to use. I'd like to see the reviewed card in a different colour to make it stand out and maybe group the cards according to type and have the best at the top. And yes I have to agree, some of the results did seem a bit odd, the reference GTX670 in BF3 beating the MSI for example.
That aside, a very good and Prof review as always.
Keep up the good work.
