I remember reading a review where they were looking at sli on the 400 cards. I've had a quick glance at Google and have not managed to find it again. Does anyone know of a good review where a 470 sli is pitted against a 480?
I am looking to replace my 280 with a 400 and am not sure if I should go all out for the 480 or start with one 470 with the intention of adding a second in a few months. Cost wise the 480 with water block is about £540 and 2 x 470 with blocks are £730 (Asus cards with EK blocks)
I would hazard a guess that the 470 would only be quicker in games that have great sli scaling. In games such as FSX, which doesn't use SLI, the 480 would be better.
