Product Gallery GeForce GTX 470

Let's have a look at the GeForce GTX 470 first. Do not underestimate how much performance this little card has under its hood. Targeted at a MSRP of roughly 350 USD it still packs 1280MB of gDDR5 memory, its core frequency is clocked at 600, its shader processors at 1215 MHz and that memory at 3348 MHz (effective). This card is positioned directly against ATI's Radeon HD 5850.

The TDP is a little lower opposed to its big brother, a more convenient at 215 Watts. Overall, a nice dark themed looking card offering a nice powerful bite in performance.

A very clean backside, it's interesting to see that the new reference models all have a gap in the PCB at the cooler location, likely drawing some more cold air into the cooler. The cooler itself it not at all noisy.
In this article we review the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost OC WindForce 2X with that OC for a factory tweak and the Windforce indicating a silent yet powerful two fan cooling solution. The product is customized with a new PCB, cooling and a few tweaks, it has 2GB of memory with both that memory and the core base-clock slightly overclocked. An tasty product at an interesting price in the lower segment of the mainstream market.
ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini review
In this article we review the ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini edition, a compact performance graphics card designed primarily for small form factor PCs with mini ITX motherboards. The dual-slot card measures just 17cm and features the NVIDIA GTX 670 GPU. ASUS has re-engineered the DirectCU cooler to fit small form factor cases. While shorter, it introduces a copper vapor chamber placed directly on top of the GPU for faster heat spreading and dispersal with 20% lower temperatures than reference GTX 670.

In this article we review the EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost SC edition review with that SC for superclocked. The product is fairly reference looking but does come with EVGA's own styled cooler, it has 2GB of memory with both that memory and the core baseclock slightly overclocked quite significant.
