*** 25/02/2011 EXTENSION! *** DEAL OF CENTURY: Asus GeForce GTX 480 1536MB Graphics Card with 2 FREE

stick with the 480

DO NOT RELY ON OVERCLOCKS 470 is a good card and overclock well.

but its safer just to rely on the 480 being awesome at stock

it doesnt matter but thats my view, you either need the power or you dont

[QUOTE='[TW]Yes, at 100% fan both cards sound like a portable tornado but as many reviews have demonstrated the cards dont actually run at 100% fan when gaming![/QUOTE]

I find the GTX580 noisy compared to my HD5870, just depends what your used too, however noise tests done by reviews clearly sure the GTX480 to make more noise then other cards.
 
Man, I need these to turn up sharpish.... My old cards sold really quick so my rigs, stripped down, dusted out like new, reconfigured my fans and no card to play wiv....:-(
 
I debated the pro's and the con's 480 vs 470 over and over, but in the end i said **** it - 480 for me :)

As i just like a single powerful GPU then it had to be the 480.
 
Should I shouldn't I, ultimately I believe this to be the best value for money graphics card out at the moment so I have taken the plunge, twice.

I would have purchased the MSI ones, but they vanished.

These will go nicely with my new i7 2600K build, I hope.

Goodbye 460, hello SLI GTX 480, I loose my SLI virginity come friday! :D
 
Guys
