Galaxy Custom GTX 470 out real soon

Galaxy, under their premium brand KFA2 (Karte for Action) series is soon releasing a completely customized GeForce GTX 470. I tell you, the card is looking really good. Custom everything, dual-BIOS, removable fan to clean up dust, standard overclock, lower temperatures, lower noise levels .. well that all sums it up really.

This GeForce GTX 470 has 448 CUDA cores, 1,280MB of GDDR5 memory and support for 3-way SLI multi-GPU setups and 3D Vision Surround. As for actual frequencies, the GPU operates at 625MHz, whereas the shaders and memory are clocked at 1,250MHz and 3,348MHz, respectively.

In addition to a shorter PCB (9 inches instead of 9.5), the video controller uses, obviously, a different cooling mechanism, specifically a dual-slot cooler with four copper heatpipes and a copper base. There is also a fan that can be raised, so that the heatsink can be easily dusted.

Unfortunately, the report did not exactly say what price consumers should expect this product to bear, though it shouldn't be much higher than the one demanded by the stock model (about $350). End-users need not despair, of course, considering that it shouldn't be more than a day or two before the device actually arrives in stores.

The card will also come with new overclock software called Xtreme Tuner HD, allowing voltage tweaking on the GPU.

We have this card inbound for a review. More info here.
