The GeForce GTX 470 video card is “packed” more elegantly. The length of the board is 24,1 cm (9,5") - again, about a centimeter less than that of the competitor AMD Radeon HD 5850. Additional power (in addition to the PCI Express bus) is provided by two six-pin connectors. The maximum thermal package is stated to be 215 W ( almost 30 W less than the Radeon HD 5870). All heat pipes and the radiator located on the surface of the card casing have disappeared. The card also occupies two slots and is completely enclosed in the casing. The fan blows air through the edges of the card, throwing it out through the input panel. output.
The graphics card's temperatures under load and idle are not as aggressive as the GTX 480, although both graphics cards can withstand the temperatures GPU up to 105 degrees Celsius. The GTX 470's performance is on average on par with the Radeon HD 5870, making it a very attractive purchase.
