The GTX 480 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Fermi set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 470 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 349. NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Fermi graphics card inside the GTX 470, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, HD 6870, the GTX 470 was -8.4 % slower.
