GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GV-N470SO-13I ?

[Dogger1]

I've been looking for a couple of cards to replace my 2 XFX GTX285's and during my dd I came across that card. Not a whole lot of info on it, aside from http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...-470,2713.html where they were able to O/C it to core clock to 800 MHz and the shader clock to 1600 MHz, while maintaining more than reasonable temps.

It's about the most expensive GTX470 available Newegg.com - GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GV-N470SO-13I GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card but cheaper than a 480.

Any thoughts on pulling the trigger on two of these cards?

I suggest holding off on any major purchases in the GPU department for the next two months.

Why? Is ATI or NVIDIA releasing anything new soon?

Expect a review of the GTX 470 SoC soon. It is an excellent card but buying two of them is just a bit....excessive. ;)

yeah, ati's half way there cards are not supposed to be the ones we weren promised, instead were getting the next best thing that wasnt supposed to come out but after, albeit on 40nm process since a certain fab screwed up :)

or so they say.

After reading the preliminary info on the 6870 I'm glad I followed your advice.
