EVGA GTX 470 SC Benchmarks and Temps

[AAbed1984]

I have the Gigabyte version of this card & it's good,,,,

the main and only disappointment that it's loud

[YorianSevenfold]

I'm still afraid of those high temps dude, you're almost at the deadline of the temp.

[Atomfreak2009]

Just capture the screen with Fraps or something like that ;D

[tommy714pham]

I just got the evga 470gtx sc today, you said it came with a lifetime warranty but I only got 2 years after Registration? should I called evga about this?

[ducking0101]

@tommy714pham i think lifetime refers to the life time of the card. but im not sure if it should be more than 2 years

[SirEsahc]

Even though these cards are rated at max temp of 105c, that is some serious heat.

[LMAOTutorials]

THATS GREAT FOR ONE GFX CARD, great job.

[HARV3YHAN5RA]

My GTX 460 got about 1900 on 3D Mark Vantage on the Performance Preset

[StefanTrifunovic]

Which Card is not Better, GTX 470 or ATI 5850 OC from Sapphire ?

[Monstarex]

I have a question that I would like to be answered, does framerate only depends on the GPU capacities or CPU also have something to do with it?

P.S.: I forgive you for the background glare :P

[1543V]

@Monstarex

it can really depend on either the game itself and the qaulity of the parts being used. if you used a high end gpu with a mid range cpu the cpu would bottleneck the gpu's performance. they would still run good but if you used a high end cpu and a high end gpu together performance would increase. then you get cases where games are more dependant on one component then the other.

[Krimghor]

is the sc adition significantly better than the regular?

[Valcgo]

@Krimghor they are over voltaged a little from the factory but beyond that there isn't anything you can't do with evga precision ie core clocks, shader clocks etc.

[mottoman216]

dude set your fans up 60c idle is not good... i have 2 gtx 470's in sli as well 800core/1600shader/1900 memory and they idle around 43 max load temp gets to high 70's. with an i7 shouldnt you be scoring more than 45k? my qx9650 gets around 54k. well nice video anyway =]

[Masterzerg32]

have you make a test of temp with the fan at 100%?? would you recommend this card??

[LuGiank]

R u in sli? Cause evga precision says u have 2 gpus

[Saiphedias0815]

What's the music in the beginning ?

[VolumeLowHigh]

the software you checked for the temps.. whats that called. I need one of those @ 5:03

[hl2ep3]

OH MY GOD 2:18 there's a giant white door in space, i wonder where it goes! :]

[903harman]

THE SPACE DOOR!

[Ace33blue]

Hmm, Something wrong with your cards.. They are too hot.. REAPPLY TIM.. I did that ( and added back plate) i now idle at 39c and max out at 87c.. custom fan cfg 50-70%.. Im betting on 100% i woulndnt go over 70.

[TheFatal05]

thats weird, my friend got this idle at 40 degrees, u should really check the air circulation ur probally not getting it enough

[Gripen90]

What are the settings for Unigine Heaven Benchmark ? normal or extreme tessellation ? :)

[AxemastaGAMING]

What is cooling those cards????  My gts 250 loads at 50 degrees, yours idle at 60 xS

[civixboi]

@AxemastaGAMING The new cards (fermi) runs a little bit hotter than other nvidia cards. But, these cards are rated to run at a max temp of 105c. But they max out, under normal use, at 70c - 80c. During 3D Mark bench testing, they run at a blistering 95c. Yet, these high temps are normal according to nvidia.

[DarkProPower]

@civixboi Temps are like my old GTX 9800 Black Edition :) 60°C in idle, about 90 while running Vantage and Furmark an freeze with black screen :D

Stock air cooler sucks, even the from the 580 and 570 -> they got an fucking cheap looking, but are cooler than the 480's...

BUY WATERBLOCKS with CHILLER's or CASCADE (or SS) :)))))

[kakka626]

@AxemastaGAMING my gt230 runs 67 degrees on idle and you really dont want to know how many degrees on full load.

[IXcrispyXI]

@AxemastaGAMING i guess u dont throw big enough stuff at it i got mine to hit 78 yesterday but it was a very hot day + i dont have proper cooling yet

[AxemastaGAMING]

@IXcrispyXI lol it wont run crysis, it laggs out. I got a gtx 260, muuuuch better :D

[sapphire4890]

WoW...EVGA GTX470 SC is very good

Why My card only get 20111 on 3D mark Vantate=[

[zhopenza]

@AxemastaGAMING Having two cards in SLI will block a bit of airflow for each card. I have a single 470GTX and it idles at around 50 degrees - which is normal. Upon load it can get up to anywhere from 60-80 degrees. Wouldn't say they are the most efficient card on the market but can't complain. Just gotta have sound higher than the fucking fan (which is very loud at 80%). At temps over 100 degrees you can really start damaging the chip.

[STEAMflipp25]

You have to see the quality of the GTX 400 cards yourself, because quality...cannot be seen on YT ;)

[Techmaster05]

So you where running SLi??? hmmmm... I thought 2 470's would do a lot better in vantage. My GTX 295 with B/P (oced) does 21000 in vantage. I know its a dual gpu card but two 470's put together should smoke it. Than again when my card comes to tesselation and all that, wont stand a chance against this card, but kind of a let down in my opinion to see that my 295 is almost as good as two 470's

[civixboi]

@Techmaster05 Well, If you look at my newest video comparing one gtx 470 versus 2 gtx 470s. You'll see that my sli gtx 470 kills your gtx 295 by 3,000 points. My sli 470s tops at 24,000 points. And 3,000 is a lot. Could you get your gtx 295 to score that much?

Bragging aside, =), a gtx 295 is a pretty powerful card. And yes, it wouldn't be a huge upgrade.

[KillyWildlands]

@Techmaster05 how could you get 21k? my gtx 470 only got 18k with i7 950 and 12gb ddr3 133 no OC

[THEdestroyedONE]

What kind of monitor is that?

[civixboi]

@THEdestroyedONE 24inch Gateway. 1920x1080

[aldobu1990]

holy mother of jesuss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what high temps crap shit! i order this card i live in central america its not hot but not cold also the temperature in my country is 33 CELCIOUS dam i this will run hot in my house :( i thinki had to run the fan at 100% all day long lol!

[Prettyboy411]

can you benchmark just one card as well so we can see the performance difference from 1x to sli. thanks.

[SweSportDudes]

this or the 5870, what to buy?

[linuszero]

What game is it?

Is it EVE online?

[NeonTrigger]

Can u do a benchamark video of the same settings with only 1 gtx 470 plz

[TheFatal05]

wait u ran these benchmarks on SLI?

[duffmanw]

i got my GTX 470 2 weeks ago, i have it set to 700mhz and 1400 on shaders and i havent seen the core temp on 100% fan speed go over 75 C with furmark for 12 hours, but i do play games with a headset and cant hear the fans noise at all, im happy with this card and will be getting a 2nd one later in the year

[67CopperHead]

i cant wait to get my GTX 470 Evga

[TheXxxLoganxxX]

i get P26600 something like that with my GTX 275 SLI

[civixboi]

@TheXxxLoganxxX That is awsome!!!!

[Qbite]

Another question :D IN this vid. are aou running 2 Gtx 470's?!?! Or just one?

[civixboi]

@Qbite Two gtx 470 sc

[Qbite]

Is this Card loud? I got a Gtx 275 at this moment. Is the Gtx 470 Sc louder than the gtx 275? PLs answer me :)

[civixboi]

@Qbite at lower fan speeds, like 40 - 45%, it stays pretty quiet. But at speeds above 50% it gets pretty loud. At 100% it sounds like a hair dryer. LOLz.

[Qbite]

@civixboi lol..yea but the 275 sounds like a hairdryer @ 100% too :D Do you thing i should buy this card or a Ati 5870?!?!

[civixboi]

@Qbite Both cards are pretty good. And since the 5870's are going for about the same price as the 470's it's really tough to decide. But since I love nvidia, I would go with the fermi cards.

[mdy18]

@civixboi The 470 is about $360. The 5870 is about $500. 470 FTW.

[tiagom135]

470 pwns 5870 with new drivers!

[ShadeRx93]

Wait a minute! Your Core clock speed is at 1.7GHz?! but the memory clock is 405Mhz and Shader clock 810Mhz? just please tell me that im not seeing this ok?

[civixboi]

@ShadeRx93 Are those speeds not ok?

[ShadeRx93]

@civixboi I am pretty sure that the core should be around 700mhz with the superclock... Just look it up ok?!

[ysatria]

Nice score, but my crossfire 5850s has a better gpu score on this performance preset 3D mark vantage (26287). I have the score video on my channel if u wanna compare the performance. Thanx for sharing! :-D

[ysatria]

@adrienspawn : He said in the beginning two of them running in SLI. Pay attention to the video when u watching dude...

[adrienspawn]

@ysatria yeah I know, removed the comment a while ago. His score seems low though. I get 20K on a single GTX285.

[TheXtremeGamer90]

what u mean super clocked?

[kaysniper]

has the 470 got 2 gpus? as in 2 physical cores?

[adrienspawn]

@kaysniper No it's a single GPU. All the 400 series so far is one GPU. The dual one is coming out in two months or so and is the GTX490.

[wobbs07]

core clock on them gtx 470 1701 lol aint they spose to be summets like 604 on core

[nuclearbananaphone]

CPU is by far not a bottleneck. I use a Core i7 920 overclocked to 3.5Ghz, and my machine still doesn't do well on MW2. If you want to game, get a Phenom and a 5970. However, I'm not a huge gamer. I'm just an enthusiast. I like to have a fast computer.

[Fatalexty]

@nuclearbananaphone well sir u saying bullshit i7 920 way better for gaming thn AMDs CPU also lol 5970 ? u wonr see any different in game if u compare to GTX 470 only that u have a bit more FPS but yet it will still run as smooth as on 5970 or even GTX 480....

[oOGremistaOo]

1 question... do (or does whatever) my i7 920 at stock speeds bottleneck my gtx 470?? what about my 6 gig ram 1366(i think)?

[HosakaBloodLust]

hey friends i am getting 2 470 but i want to know the temps at load at 100% fan 70%

plz and i am getting the corsair hx 1000watt psu is 1000watt good for 470 on sli ?

[oOGremistaOo]

@HosakaBloodLust it dependsbon the 12v rails each gtx 470 need 38 amps.. but as it is an corsair psu i think it is good enough

[ChuckManiac]

Wow! Look at the white door! It's so smooth, no ghosting and lagging whatsoever!

Anyways, I'm planning to get this card for my upgrade to play Crysis and other highly demanding games. Hope to see more of your games with the GTX 470.

[Djcrazy32]

lol look like a laptop :D

[RiVvenGuard]

i just purchased a 470, do you think you can benchmark it on only one, instead of 2?

[snoop6604]

should i get a 470 or a 5850??

[Hotrod768]

Lol the word is scaling

[civixboi]

Lisp? LOLz. Honestly, with an overclocked i7 860 at 4.0ghz, I only get maybe 5-10% increase in vantage scores. So yes, to a certain extent it does bottleneck. In this video, though, I wanted to show how the cards performed at stock speeds. Because that's what people want to know about. Thanks for the comment, it was a good point to share.

[thereddog223]

Is your board dual pci 16x

[SacredSoldier13]

@civixboi hey, are you happy with your setup? do you ever feel like you should have gone with the 480s? im asking cause im about to squeeze the trigger, and kind of feel like what in the world would 2 480s do me if i just want to game maxed out... i dont care about benchmarking etc, just like to game with everything maxed. what do you think?

[civixboi]

@SacredSoldier13 I am very happy. I thought the same thing before I bought these cards, but two 470's are good enough. I don't do much benchmarking either, and my game play is as smooth as silk at max settings. The only thing I got after these two cards is a 9800gt for physx.

[stealthrt2007]

nice lisp.lmao.first of all your bottlenecking the fuck out of those cards with no cpu overclock.

[Gripen90]

They're great card :-) I replaced my 3xGTX280 with 2x evga GTX 470 SC's too and dispite making a little lower scores in the synthetich benchmarks, the games have higher minimum fps and overall also a better average. Nothing beats real game tests :)

[richardh754]

You running 2 470s?

[civixboi]

@richardh754 yeah.

[richy123xd]

@civixboi Were you 100% satisfied with the 470? Just wondering because I was thinking of buying this or the xfx 5850

[SacredSoldier13]

@civixboi hey are you happy with your setup?ever feel like you should have gone with the 480s?

[noneterry]

Hey, why was your idle temp that high?

are you running with dual monitors?

[Gripen90]

@noneterry No he's running SLi. Nvidia states in the latest driver release that:

"In the case of SLI or multi-GPU PCs, the second GPU will always operate with full clock speeds; again, in order to efficiently drive multiple displays"

[mda40000]

lol try these settings on heaven 2.0. 1920 x 1080, extreme tesselation, 4x AA and ALWAYS no less than 16x AF (it takes no performance hit on todays cards). you'll see a better balance of what the 400's are capable of sustaining.

[MrPassivemenis]

penis

[civixboi]

@MrPassivemenis I Don't get it...

[TheFatal05]

hmm what do u think if i put some AS5 ( arctic silver 5 ) on the gpu (gtx 470), would that help? o.o

[civixboi]

@TheFatal05 You could try. I haven't heard anyone do that yet. Maybe you could do a video showing the differences in temps by doing it.

[c0d3w0rd]

@civixbo So if I get a single one of these, then I want a second graphics card later (To add on, not replace) what would my options be?

I am building my own PC soon, and the price is at $1,800 and that's already probably going to end up as being too much, and I'll have to cut some stuff off, or find better deals. It's my first custom build, and my first gaming PC. If not this graphics card, which one?

[civixboi]

@c0d3w0rd Wow! $1800 would get you a really nice gaming pc. To answer your question, if get one of these and want another one later, you would have to get any brand gtx 470 to run a proper sli setup. Be sure when you're picking out the parts to your new computer, you get parts that will allow you to upgrade in the future. I will pm you with more detail.

[TheFatal05]

this is shit, no overclocking abillies with this shit high ass temps Nvidia fucking fails,

[civixboi]

@TheFatal05 What do you run?

[TheFatal05]

@civixboi im no fan boy, i like ur videos, kinda getting the same build i what i am getting it for is overclocking yet nvidia makes there cards turn way to hot to do so. i might have to go with a 5870 -_-

[civixboi]

@TheFatal05 The 5870s are also fast. I have one too and in a single card to single card comparison (gtx 470 v radeon 5870), the 5870 is way fast! But don't let the heat issues with the 400 series cards scare you. It's not as bad as everyone says it is. Just so long you have good airflow. Good luck.

[xguntherc]

Set the fan speeds manually....Then you wont be getting 90c.

Wow.. my GTX 480 doesn't top 80C in any game with fans manually set.

[mda40000]

@xguntherc exactly. i have my GTX 480 at 80-82% fan speed and its not really annoying until you get to 85%. but never set it automatically for the lifespan of the card's sake.

[IHunger4Battle1]

93C....almost boiling water temp....yeah...those won't be going into my case. lol. I'll keep my 5850s. Impressive scores, but I don't need anything in my case that can't keep it's cool. *2 thumbs up regardless*

[Larsson19933]

Can someone make a benchmark of one gtx 470 with dx 11 in heavens 2.0 with extreme tesselation and every else on the highest to? Whana se have it is vs 5870 in extreme tesselation.

[marland66]

Nice! I think they R about as good a the GTX 285's!

[searay230]

Nice video. what chassi are you using?

5870 CF (stock) in Cosmos S running vantage.

82c/77c and 33%/31% fanspeed. (max values)

[civixboi]

@searay230 It is a cooler master cm 690 II advance with the side window

[WestCoastMods]

Nice vid bro, i hate it when i have a brain fart...lol

Even though these cards are rated for X temps, i wonder how hot they run after hours of intense game play.

Cheers

LazyMan :-)

[tallandme13]

You should really use afterburner on this card.... keep it cooler because precision sucks with heat

[NZSFMASH]

u guy might want to look at hardwarecanucks they have a review on 470gtx sli.

NVIDIAs cards arent exactly what we would call mature drivers atm but yea

but 470gtx sli kill ati5870cf Unigine: Heaven v2.0 lol that game fun to play

[HSEesfofun]

Wow..That did good. 3D mark is better then my GTX 260's in SLI. Hmmm.. Great vid perhaps gameplay? haha thumbs up

[bmw2go11]

THIS. IS.. AMAZING!!!
