    We are out of LN2 but in 1st slot the 470 now runs at x16 2.0.... Thanks IvanG for pointing that out!

    nothing special, this card is pretty good, i don't trust afterburner at measuring voltage much so i can't really comments on what droop i have. Plus the vgpu read point on that card is kinda tricky and i don't think i can hold my dmm's probe by hands for so long

    I knew with time and money that we would see Fermi hit the 1GHz mark sooner or later, just wanted to see it on water cooling. If it was a 480 chip you would have taken the gold metal instead of the silver! Excellent job!

    Some help please for a decision...

    I need some help for a decision here.
    After reading many reviews about the GTX 470 I still don't know if I should buy one or the Radeon 5850. From what I understood the GTX 470 is power hungry, very hot and somewhat expensive for it's performance but has extra eye candy like Physx and holds great even with heavy tesselation. The 5850 is cooler, has decent power consumption (although the toxic version was drawing more power than the 470) and is about 5 to 15% slower than the 470. I've always been on the "green team" side since my first computer (RIVA TNT2, GF2 MX, GF4 MX, GF6800GS and currently GF9800GTX that is holding fine) so I'm more inclined to buy a Asus GTX470 and I found a buyer for my 9800GTX.
    The target resolution is 1680x1050 (most of the time) or 1920x1080 (rarely).
    I posted here to get the opinion from the real enthusiasts.

    System specs here, and "recent" pics from my setup here and here.

    Thanks.

    Some 470 fun! Just got a couple 470s and a 480, did some runs with the 470 on air and cold, that a nice little gugger! I just flash it to an unlocked evga sc bios. Only prob even with msi AB was not able to go higher than 940 core.... need to find a better bios... here's what I got so far...

    I think the better buy is the GTX470 even if you don't plan on overclocking the heck out of it, I noticed that your i7 920 isn't overclocked, are you planning to overclock your CPU and GPU? Nvidia's Fermi's are doing pretty well considering there still on first generation drivers! Get the GTX470 that has the larger flow ports in the rear if your going to keep it on air cooling.

    I'd go with the 470. It seems to be the best bang for the buck and runs the higher resolutions like a champ. Very strong card even without overclocking. Doesn't really run too hot either.

    Nuff said!
    I'll get a GTX 470 and report my experience later on!
    Thanks!

    Kado

    P.S.=>Overclocking can be done easily to 4GHz (20x200) using 1.27v and temps go to about 75c (prime95, 8threads). I normally get a aftermarket air cooler when it's available, mostly from ArcticCooling, so I can get better overclocking results on the GPU.
    My 9800GTX runs @ 58c with 842MHz core, 2000MHz shaders and 2400MHz ram from NVIDIA stock clocks.

    I think it just depends on the GPU. Mine does 901/1167(which is 2334 memory) on 1.138v but others may vary.

    hmm previous experience with sli/tri sli
    ure mem clocks normall reduce when u do this
    core slightly

    that memtestgpu program is awesome for gc mem test for single card.
    my gc passed at 2085
    but from previous experience should back it down to 2080.

    Any idea how much the VRM on the stock PCB GeForce GTX 470 heats up (stock clocks) if it does not have any cooling on it?

    Here are my stock results. Keep in mind, PhysX was enabled but attached to a GTX 260. I'll run again with it disabled but tend to keep it enabled for Vantage.



    I'm curious about the posts above indicating flashing the BIOS. I'll have to read more about that. What tool does everyone use to OC the cards? What if we use different brands? I have a Gigabyte and an MSI 470.

    Anyone have Tri-SLI on 470's yet?
