GeForce GTX 470

Next-generation gaming has arrived. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 470 gives your games an adrenaline shot with incredible performance and futuristic, visually-stunning graphics. Experience heart-pounding, cinematic visuals on your favorite games with the combined power of DirectX 11, CUDA™, and NVIDIA® PhysX® technologies. And expand your visual real estate across three HD displays in jaw-dropping stereoscopic 3D for the ultimate in immersive gaming. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 470: pure adrenaline meets visual bliss.

Incredibly detailed visuals Experience an unprecedented level of detail and realism in the latest games. Tessellation- one of the biggest new features of Microsoft DirectX11- helps developers create more detailed characters and terrain in games, bringing you sharper, crisper images and a more realistic experience. GeForce GTX 400 GPUs deliver up to 8x the tessellation performance compared to competition*, bringing your games closer to reality without sacrificing the high frame rates you enjoy.

Stunning Gaming Effects Cutting-edge Microsoft DirectX 11 graphics and NVIDIA® PhysX® technology take gaming to a new level. Witness effects so realistic that you’ll have to remind yourself it’s just a game. Repeat: It’s just a game.

Total Immersion Breakthrough the boundaries of your screen. Games, movies and photos enter a new dimension with NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ technology. Thrill seeker? Use two GeForce GTX 470 cards in NVIDIA® SLI® configuration to project across three displays with NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround1 technology. *Warning: May cause screen envy.

Futuristic Graphics Prepare yourself for the future of gaming. GeForce GTX 470 powers interactive raytracing, bringing spectacular, photo-realistic renderings to your screen for the first time. Go ahead, spoil your eyes.

* NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround requires NVIDIA release 256 driver, two or more graphics cards in NVIDIA SLI configuration, 3D Vision glasses and three matching 3D Vision-Ready displays. See www.nvidia.com/surround for more information.
** A GeForce GTX 470 GPU must be paired with another GeForce GTX 470 GPU (graphics card manufacturer can be different). SLI requires sufficient system cooling and a compatible power supply. Visit www.slizone.com for more information and a listing of SLI-Certified components.
*** Supported video software is required to experience certain features. Visit www.nvidia.com for more details.
**** Blu-ray 3D playback requires the purchase of a compatible software player from CyberLink, ArcSoft, Corel, or Sonic. Upgrade your GPU to full 3D capability with NVIDIA 3DTV Play software, enabling 3D gaming, picture viewing and 3D web video streaming. See www.nvidia.com/3dtv for more details.

PC Perspective
“We find [GeForce GTX 470’s] performance much closer to that of the HD 5870 but at a lower price. This makes the GTX 470 a very attractive option for gamers looking for great DX11 performance on a tighter budget than the current $429 pricing on the HD 5870 will allow.”

Hexus
“The Inno3D GeForce GTX 470 Hawk is quiet, relatively cool, overclocks well, and is certainly worthy of being placed on premium graphics-card shortlist”

Bjorn3D
“The PNY GTX-470 offers great performance at a better price than the GTX-480 and holds its own against the HD5870. Considering the PNY GTX-470 is $50 less than a HD5870 and performs in line with it in most games, has DX11 capabilities, and packs all the new GF100 technology it's an attractive option for high end graphics.”

PCFormat (89 out of 100)
“And the results are pretty damned good for the green side of the graphics divide. Almost across the board, the GTX 470 comes out on top of the HD 5870”
