Conclusions
Palit GeForce GTX 470 1280MB GDDR5 is a custom product, from the shortest PCB among all GeForce GTX 470 cards to the quiet cooler. The rather high core temperature is probably an issue of our sample, because the cooler is the same as that on Gainward GeForce GTX 470 1280MB GDDR5 GS, and the temperature shouldn't exceed 80°C. Although 89°C is still satisfactory for a graphics card of this class.
As for performance, test results indicate that GeForce GTX 470 handles new DX11 games nicely, outperforming Radeon HD 5850 and sometimes Radeon HD 5870.
We express gratitude to Palit for the provided graphics card. The PSU is provided by TAGAN, the monitor is provided by NVIDIA.
