Pros: One card alone, performs very well in 95% of games I have. The only ones that gives this card a challenge are the "graphically intense / open world" games. Those are games like Crysis, Metro 2033 , Fallout 3 with graphics/texture mods, Grand Theft Auto 4, and etc. All other games this card smokes them drastically. BTW this card does run Dirt2 very well on Maxed Dx11 settings. Now TWO of these cards in SLI, that is pure graphical bliss. Right now I can run Crysis in Maxed out DX10 mode, full screen @ 1920 x 1080, with 16x Anti-Aliasing with 50+ frames per second. 2 480's however run it at 60ish. So depending on how many graphic intense games u have, you can pull it off with one 470. But if u have some harsh games, then 470's in SLI mode is the answer.
Cons: Okay, everybody's favorite debate here, is the heat. In my PERSONAL experience, this card does run hot. However, the temps I get on this card are EXACTLY THE SAME that I have gotten with previous graphics cards ( 8800gs / HD4850 / Gtx 275). So personally, I think it's blown way out of proportion because 90% of "High Perfomance" cards produce alot of heat, so that is nothing new. Also certain games put alot of pressure on this card. Depends on how much work it has to process, which goes back to those "Graphically Intense" games. My experience as right now with SLI cards, is 87 degrees consitstently. Remeber that's TWO cards running. One card will be a little less, but at the most I havent broken 87 and that's gaming for an hour atleast. Lower end / older games didnt "Burn" as much. Besides, that's why you register the lifetime warranty with EVGA, youll be covered. Finally, these cards are actually made to handle temps up to 100 degrees, so I promise you guys.....it will be okay.
Overall Review: As of 7-20-2010 there is a promotion on this card for $50 dollar discount AND a free Just Game. So this is a huge steal, because most stores sell THIS card for $369 or a little more, and it's not even the superclocked version. And on top of that, if you're debating on this or a GTX480, you COULD spend $100 more than a single GTX480 and get 2 of these cards. That total's out to $600 470 sli setup Vs $1000 480 sli setup, for $100 more than a single 480! Finally, with all due respect to those that say they don't see a difference between this card and an 8800 series card......... REALLY????? Then you guys must be playing OLDER games, because newer games (2008 and up) and the "Graphically Intense games" have a night and day difference. Anything 2007 and earlier, will have a minimal difference. But beyond that, come on. I had an 8800 series card so I know this from experience. Either way whatever you decide, just enjoy and have fun!!!!!
