Palit GTX 470 Review - PAGE 11

good review


btw, what is it with nvidia and odd numbers? 1280 mb of ram, 320 bit bus? why not pick more even numbers....? you know, multiples of 128 [color=#c6d0e7][size=1]

If it makes you feel better... 1280 is a multiple of 128 ;-)

Seems like this is a good card. Makes me sick how fast these cards are gaining power. Not sick.. ok, I'll say it... JEALOUS! Just when I was top dog with the HD4870... there are cards 3x+ more powerful than it. I wouldn't mind having one of these, but depending on price, I might would go with a 5870 over the GTX 470.

Arithmetic fail.

Arithmetic fail.

i didnt word it right, i meant multiples like 256-512-1024-2048 like ATI does. normal ram multiples.

Just a potentially stupid question that I am 90% sure I know the answer to. I am going to read the full review later, but before I do, I am assuming that the fact that this is a 470 and not the 480 means it is the same generation of cards but a step down from the top of the line, similar to the differences between the 280's, verses the 260's?

ChiroVette that is correct.

Iceguy2003 you'll be top dog again one day.
