every review i've read, all the new 6670 and 6570 video cards are reference cards. the 6670 is low profile, and the 6570 comes with gddr5. yet when trying to find these reference cards (or similar) for sale, there are none. all the 6670 are full height double slot cards, i need something in low profile. as for 6570, almost all the ones available is only gddr3, not gddr5 like reviewed. can anyone find these cards in reference designs to buy?

Here you go my friend. Tiger Direct had one in stock. 89$. Filter by GDDR5 and sort by the cheapest. You can't miss it.
 
thanks for the pointer. are you talking about this powercolor HD6570? i saw this one on newegg a week or two ago (before it was deactivated), it's the only 6570 gddr5 but it's not low profile like the reference design. i need something in low profile form factor. looks like tigerdirect has the specs wrong, it's single slot but clearly not low profile like how they listed. all other 6570 are low profile, but only uses gddr3 :(
 
I am still waiting for these phantom gddr5, 1gb, 6570 or 6670 low profile video cards that where reviewed. I hope they eventually show up. Currently using a 5570 low profile in my HTPC machine, great card but would like the added performance with the 6670.
 
I wish the price point on these cards was a little lower, for just a few bucks more a 5770 is within reach.

Maybe the TDP of the cards is too high for low profile?
 
Since the 6670 was shown as a dual slot card it would be kinda nice to exhaust the air outside the case using that second slot. For a small case that would rather beneficial and would help cool not only the video card but the whole case. Palet had a GF 450 LP, air exhausting outside the case, unfortunately no where to be found, looks discontinued. I just didn't like the 100+watts for the card. One can make a rather nice Steam app HTPC, low power and noise and yet blow away a PS3 or XBox 360 in performance and convenience. The Steam Box ;).
