PNY XLR8 GTX 470 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express HDMI Graphics Card VCGGTX470XPB

I got this card when it was released, the card is excellent, got it from "Amazon.com", I always buy from Amazon.com, Excellent packaging and all stuff is good, the card is still working very well, Honestly I wanted to get EVGA card but since EVGA cards was +$40 ($390) at the release date and was not available by Amazon.com at all, I decided to try PNY ($350) and this was a good decision.

To be fair, the EVGA cards packaging is "excellent", better than any other brand, including PNY, so if PNY can do same class packaging then it will be perfect, but I don't care about that much since I got it on time and $40 less and the hardware is working.

If I will rate the package quality of EVGA vs PNY, I would give EVGA 5 stars and PNY 4.5 stars, not a problem, but its better to make this a 5 stars one :)

I wish this review helps someone

Great card. Makes a very good upgrade from older Nvidia cards such as 8000, or 9000 series.
Pros: Great cost, speed, memory, and sound.
Cons: Card is very large. Not only width, but length. Be very aware for smaller cases, especially if you are upgrading the power supply also. Card also generates a lot of heat.

i have 2 of these in sli, i can play any game on highest settings, ie bad company. they run hot to say the least so make sure that you have a case that can handle it
