The key advantage of the Palit GeForce GTX 470 is certainly the upgraded cooler, as it reduced load temperatures significantly when compared to the Nvidia reference design. Even when heavily overclocked, temperatures were still lower than that of the reference design, which was impressive. Of course while it was possible for Palit to solve the thermal issues of the GeForce GTX 470, there is little they could do about the graphics cards power consumption problem.

Nice looking card but I am not sure I would buy it over a Radeon HD 5850. |

Yeah I agree the Radeon HD 5850 does seem like a better buy right now but I wonder if this will change at all over the next 6 months. |

I really like this new Palit card, thanks for the review. Sadly I cannot find this card online but I did come across a GTX 465 version which looks exactly the same. I should point out that the GTX 465 is not cheaper than the reference cards, though it is also no more expensive either  |

Given you just wrote an article showing that a pair of Radeon HD 5770 graphics cards smokes a GeForce GTX 470 while also saving a bit of cash I am not all that impressed by any GTX 470 product. |

Having just read the GTX 460 overclocked review I see no need to purchase one of these anymore  |
