Inno3D outs GeForce GTX 470 & GTX480

wow. ok na ok ah. sarap mag edit ng videos nito at maglaro ng games..

sana medyo mababa na ng konti yung price nito.

thanks sa post yuga.

mga tol saan mabibili ang gtx 480 sa manila.or sa north province kasi gusto ko bumili nyan.wla kasi ako mahanap na ati 5970

And, as per your advice, I’ve kept the fan on auto. I’ve been told that — as you had pointed out — temps of 85°C and 90°C are to expected of the 470.

I tried playing Arma 2 on high settings, though, and my GPU temps jumped around erratically. At one point, it skyrocketed to over 100°C for around two seconds before dropping back to below 90°C.

The thing is, I would not have noticed the surge in temps had it not been for the graph on the Argus monitor I’ve installed. The gameplay was actually smooth. Be that as it may, I never tried playing that game on high settings again.

I’m considering setting up two 470s in SLI. How would one go about managing the heat on such a system? (By the way, I’ve replaced my i5 650 with an i5 750 — another heat-generating mother–.)

Would appreciate advice. Thanks.

I just installed an inno3d GTX 470 on my i5 650 rig and am a bit worried about temperatures. Unfortunately, I could not get my hands on a Hawk, so I made do with the single fan version.

At stock speeds, the fan kept the GPU at around 88°C, maximum resolution texture settings with 2x supersampling. I tried adjusting the fan speed manually using Nvidia’s device performance panel, and the GPU’s core temp rose to 92°C.

I noticed that on auto, the fan speed varied according to the heat generated. The higher the temp, the faster the fan speed. This was not the case when I attempted to increase the fan speed manually.

I would think that 88°C is a bit too much. Or is it? I don’t like to mess with the hardware and I generally keep things on stock (or auto). What would be the optimum temp at full load on a GTX 470?

Sorry for the long post. I tried to get in as much detail as possible so you guys could offer relevant opinions and — hopefully — advice.

Thanks.

Just a thought! There are a number of consumers who has the money to spend it so let them. It is our right as a consumer to choose whatever we want. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. I feel that the point is well made but it is actually an individuals decision or preference on what to buy. Peace!

Just my personal feedback on the 480. I got a 480 at 25,100 pesos and tried it on my PC. Yup it’s kinda hot so I added fan and upgraded my power supply which I was really going to. I was nor expecting anything because but when I started using it, I never got this kind of performance at all. I is very, very good. I am impressed. I am not tech savy or even that geeky but I just thrilled that NVIDIA has put out this product. I used to have the ATI Radeon cards and I think they are still great but now I am an NVIDIA fan.

Their superior tessalator is the GF100s real weapon against the ATI 5k series. When more DX11 titles come out, then the GF100s will probably show its real value. And yeah, it’s up to the buyers whether they want to spend it on the green or red team. Those who want raw performance on a single card may want to go green. Those who favor efficiency and value may want to opt for red.

What I really want is for the GF100s to push the red team prices down (which may not take place for a few weeks, given nvidia isn’t really in the same price segment – yet).

That, and well, what I said a few times – a die shrink. If they can get the TDP down on that thing, I don’t care if it’s 25,000 pesos, I will buy that in a heartbeat. lol.

Performance vs Performance? Comparing the same metric against itself?

Anyway, that’s a quad-SLI screenshot you just posted. The GTX480 trails behind a 5870 in vantage, so the title of best single GPU is still a touch and go matter. It’s mostly engine/renderer affected.

Maybe out of the box, the GTX480 can perform better as a single card for some titles, but considering the price, power consumption, and heat (oh my god the heat!)it’s closer to a dual 5850 in crossfire (which performs better too) than a single-GPU 5870 (which still kicks its ass in some cases).

Don’t get me wrong though. I’m sure nvidia did the architecture on this one right. They just made it on the wrong silicon process. They need a die shrink fast, or they will lose out even more.

The shroud leads hot air out. So the worry wouldn’t be accumulation of heat inside the case, but rather feeding the card itself with enough air. Most cases don’t have air intake at the lower portion of the side panel. Some that do, don’t have it at the right spot, which in this case, should be closer to the front, to align with the GTX480/470 intake.

Yup. Huge die = huge TDP.

Better to wait for a die-shrink for this one. Reminds me of the G80.. lol.

Nah.. if imabee buyin that card it won’t be in pesos..

I’ve looooong been a member of the green team. Waited like forever for this to come out. Sadly, this is one big disappointment from Nvidia. It’s 6 months late and overpriced.

Though this might be worth buying when the prices go down, or when more tessalation-heavy DX11 titles come out, coz that is where Fermi excels.

Will look forward to the next Fermi derivative/die shrink though. Still green team at heart. lol. :D

@techiebiox

Quadros are geared towards professional 3D apps where it offers hardware acceleration. They are not optimized for gaming and are far, far more expensive.

it’s very expensive!

pede na yan pang DOTA and PvZ haha

That expensive card’s hot and draws much power. It may be fast, but not really efficient.

Sir Yuga pa-raffle mo din ung GTX275 mo hehe :P

spell video card?!

is this more better than the NVIDIA quadro??
