GTX 470 benchmark with E7500 1080p, 1440p, Ultrawide, 4K benchmarks at Low Quality

It is worth noting that the GTX 470 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. With current 1280 MB RAM, the GTX 470 can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. It is important to know that GTX 470 's max load temperature is very high and might require custom cooling solutions. This combination between GTX 470 and Intel Core2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz has less than 15% bottleneck in many games and can cause minor FPS loss.

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.
