Customer Reviews

Good Card
 

Running two of these in SLI and my machine is smokin...they do run a bit hot so make sure you are on top of monitoring their temperature.

Once the price drops to around 200 bucks this is a 5 star card
 

I ordered this from NewEgg, but I figured I'd throw my review here as well.

Any way, it doesn't run much hotter than my 8800 GTS 640s did inside my CM Stacker 850, however I am running the 470 in a HAF X with a fan blowing directly to the card. Not sure how much of a difference that makes between the cases. My temps are 10-20 degrees cooler than a lot of sites like Toms and BitTech have been getting as well. Maybe I got lucky and I won't know until I buy the 2nd card later this year...

It plays everything I need it to play, and honestly with this card my OC'd Q6700 is now my bottle neck so I'll have to upgrade to a 1336 board and CP before going SLI. As I said in the title, once these drop to around 200-245 or so they will be a great deal. In the meantime I suppose if you want a guaranteed cool good running NVIDIA card go with the 460 (NOT 465)

It's fast but...
 

First things first, I got two of these to run in sli. I also have two xfx 5870's so I can do a direct comparison. In sli the 470's are faster than the 5870's in crossfire. I run two monitors in 1920x1080. In all bench marks the 470 sli system was faster. Not a lot faster - in some cases just a few fps.

These things get hot. Like really hot. During the Resident Evil 5 dx10 benchmark loops the primary got over 101c. It got so hot the back side of my Coolermaster ASTC case got warm to the touch. That was just one look of resident evil dx10 game play.

The 5870's were 25 degrees cooler and run just as fast and quieter.

Sorry nvidia if I wanted to cook eggs in my computer I would run your cards....think I will wait till something less fire hazzardish comes out lol.
