You guys have got to check out this picture of Galaxy’s dual GPU GTX 470 that has popped up everywhere today. There isn’t a whole lot to go on right now but we promise to post more info as we get it. In the mean time, feast your eyes on this:
 
Thisll make those people who have 1000-1200 watt PSU feel like they didn't waste their money.
 
O wonder how much ram will be on it. And can it compete with the ATi 5970? Especially considering the 5850 is faster than the 470. And what kind of heat and noise does it output. i for one cannot wait until [H] gets their hands on it!
 
I honestly have no idea what the point is of dual-GPU single-PCB solutions now that every enthusiast motherboard has two or three PCI-E slots anyway. With ATI, you can at least say that a 5970+5870 will give you TriFire, but will a GTX 470x2 and a GTX 470 give you Tri SLI? And what's the market for people who want three video cards, which is three times the cost of one video card for nowhere near three times the performance and watercooling is practically required?

Must be a damn small market.

This same meme is repeated endlessly around here, as though it were true. No, sorry, the 5850 is slower than the 470 in almost every review you find, except maybe here on [H]. It's also slower in multi-GPU configuration because of poorer scaling.
 
so im guessing liquid cooling only if the gpu's are at full clock ?
 
You don't need a 1000W PSU for this. It can only draw 375 watts maximum, 75 from the slot and 150 each from the two 8-pin power connectors.

5850 is not really slower than 470, as [H] already shown..

If you trust other reviews other than [H], then what is your purpose here?
there is a reason why more people trust [H] than any other... :rolleyes:
and only [H] review is the most closet one you can possibly find that actually reflect to real world gaming instead of some canned benchmark program :p

also, 5850CF does not have poorer scaling, no idea where you got that from..
 
Count the memory ICs, these are 465s, not 470s. There are also rumblings elsewhere that the heatspreaders say "GF100-030-A3", also pointing to the chips being 465s, though I haven't seen any pic clear enough to say, yet.
 
I wonder if it's possible to mount a frying pan on there and make an omlet?
 
OMG...........

Anand has a review up of the Zotac 465 and as a result a dual GPU card with two 465 GPU's on it really makes me question whether this is good or not. The cliff notes are that in the review, one 465 performs between the 5830 and 5850, but is louder than the 470, as hot as the 470, and has a power draw almost exactly the same as the 470(actually higher power draw in Furmark).

I just wonder how practical this card will be considering that we know it will scale well, but that is an aweful lot of heat that will likely result in an exotic cooling solution, or one that resembles a dustbuster.
 
I would suggest that right now this is not under retail consideration for NA, but more of a proof of concept and Computex showpiece.
 
cool, but a single gtx 480 already plays basically everything at 2560x1600 with 4x fsaa smooth as butter, at least in my experience (however, to be fair I have not tried metro 2033).

Hell half the games I play are smooth as butter at 32x CSAA, so i have to question where the market for such a card is, at least until nvidia surround is available.

faster ati cards did make sense since eyefinity was out, but its not hte case for nvidia (and part of my wonders if a gtx 480 wouldn't be able to drive 3 displays just fine anyways)

You troll every thread with the same stupid meme. "Hurr if you do not believe in this one [H] review than you don't belong here hurr!"

Get over yourself. I use my brain and take a broader view of reality: if the vast majority of places come to one similar conclusion, I go with that. Or maybe you have deluded yourself into thinking that everyone is paid off except [H] or something, who knows...

And yes, SLI scaling is superior to CF scaling, and the 470 SLI is faster than 5850CF; maybe if you bothered to read anything on other reputable sites you'd have a clue about it.

I got myself the GTX 295 instead of 2 GTX 275 partly because I wanted to avoid any cooling issue. Looking at reviewer's picture of SLi 275/285, the gap between the top card cooler's and the second card is too small for my comfort. While I know it works fine for many people here, I live at a warmer place, cooling has always been an issue.:(

ps: I got the single PCB version. Dual PCB would probably be an issue for me.

Two phrases: Water Cooling and Overclocking. A friend of Mine has two GTX480 cards cooled down to about 45C and their overclocked and water cooled.

I'll take three to go with Koolance water blocks, There is more to video card usage today than just mere games, There's Boinc projects like Seti@Home or Einstein@Home(looks for black holes) or even Folding @ Home(Not a Boinc project, Although It could have been), etc, etc. :)

Calling it "superior" is a bit of a stretch. SLI averages about 80% scaling vs. CF's 70% (for two GPUs). So better, yes, but not by much.

470 SLI is faster than 5850 CF, but the 5970 has two 5870 GPUs that have been undervolted and downclocked, and driver support for upping the voltage and OCing them back to 5870 speeds. So really this wouldn't be competing with 5850 CF, but 5870 CF (more or less)

While you don't need a 1000W PSU, this can definitely draw more than 375w. The GTX 480 is only supposed to draw 300W max, but it hits 320W+. Nvidia is playing fast and loose with TDP and power specifications with the 4xx series.
 
Just less than 3 months ago there was news about not expecting a dual-Fermi GF100 card any time soon http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1502518

Might need a case similar to this to keep that card cool..

Dang.. that card is starting to resemble the Bitchin'fast3D2000..

If you look carefully at these pictures here and here you can see GF100-030-A3 on there.

Good insult....

But you still prove the fact that [H] is the most accurate than any other bullshit out there...

Why are you here if you don't trust [H] review? You still haven't answer this question..

If you believe you use your brain and take the broader view of reality, then I really have nothing to say about that... :p

SLI scaling is not superior than CF scaling, it depends on game and engine, different software have different way of scaling things.

By what you mean for "reputable site" you mean [H]? :rolleyes:

sorry bro, I don't trust any other reviews out there since I have done too many benchmark myself that does not match to others beside [H].

Keep insulting if you like, I am just speaking the truth here..... :)
 
I like nvidia and this card from galaxy looks pretty hot. (performance and waste heat wise)
 
"Fermi is hotter than the big bang!" "Can god make a fermi so hot he himself could not overclock it?" ... :rolleyes: Gets a little old when every fermi thread has the same trolling in it, I mean, don't you guys get bored about the 500th time you post this crap? My fermi is fine, and doesn't have the multitude of problems my 5870 had, guess I'm crazy.
 
Man, Galaxy has been delivering the goods lately! I think I'll give them a shot when it comes time to get some new hardware.
 
I am definitly giving Galaxy a considering, especially since the invent of WHDI and Galaxy's intent on supporting it, now I can throw away my HTPC <3

I think it boils down to monkey see monkey do. They see Kyle mention the cards hot and it gives them impunity to declare it the hottest card in existence while I've got a HD 4890 in a secondary machine that with flay the skin from your bones at stock speeds.

odds are they are unlocked 465 chips thus 470 chips running 1GB of ram per gpu.. so in turn it ends up being a duplicate of the GTX 295 fiasco of it not being GTX 260's but also not being GTX 285's..

as far as the other person that asked wondering if this would perform the same as the 5970.. i highly doubt it since these would have to be insanely underclocked or completely cherry picked GPU's to even run 465 or 470 clocks at 375 watts.. like kyle said this card will probably never see the light of day on the consumer market and is just a show piece/concept idea..
