GIGABYTE nVidia GeForce GTX 470

GIGABYTE nVidia GeForce GTX470

When NVIDIA released their GeForce GTX 480 the first question was arrised chip hot. Heat levels had to be compensated somehow, NVIDIA opted for a cooling solution that was strong enough. With the release of the GeForce GTX 470 things had got a fraction better, but the GPU was still setting a lot of heat and following the rotation of the cooling fan in the cooling solution has been configured to a high RPM, which makes the products very noisy when fully stressed.As many as NVIDIA partners went on a quest to find solutions best use third, but only a handful of partners AIB AIC / managed to do interesting things on the table. Gigabyte is now saying out loud and proud, "we have a customized solution for cooling the GeForce GTX 470". Besides that they have improved the PCB, fan cooling applied 3-way and overclocked the card. All facts combined created the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 470 edition SOC (Super Overclock).
A very nice card, we can say right now. Currently prices are down thanks to competition from ATI, but also the GeForce GTX 460 popular open the way for price drops. We spot prices from 350 euros for the product, we are testing today. Will it be good? Will he be able to manage the levels of heat and reduce noise under control? I mean, really serious Gigabyte applied heat pipe based cooling solution on top of the GTX 470 with three fans active.
Well, you're all here to find out, head on over to the next page, but not before you've had a good overview of the product tested, and you'll agree with me ... aesthetically it is a beautiful design of the card.
