I do SLI 480 just fine on my sig rig and they're both OC'd fairly heavily as well. No problems. Except that the microstutter and general incompatibility of SLI for many of the games I play makes me think the energy expenditure isn't worth it. That's why I'm testing it. And it's failing.
Trades blows with the 570, does better mostly at higher res. And they arent that hot or loud. I remember 8800GTXs being in the 90s-100s under load in some cases. My 480 with a custom fan profile hasnt touched 80C yet, and isnt too loud at all.If you just want performance I agree its a good card. Pretty much GTX 570 performance from what I remember. Its hot though. Really hot. If you want a cool PC look elsewhere.
Not bad. I'd be fine running one of these, but if you wanted SLI later it would take a monster PSU...
The gtx 560 448 that was on Amazon on Saturday for $190 after rebate makes this deal look pretty bad. Similar performance with less heat, noise and power consumption for less although the 480 does have more vram.
