Sparkle GeForce GTX470 1280 MB GDDR5 Dual DVI PCIExpress 2.0 with Native MiniHDMI Graphics Card SXX4701280D5-NM

I have two of these bad boys sli linked to a dual wide screen high def moniter setup. One is a 3D monitor and i have the 3d vision all set up. Of all games I have played, every single one of them (as new as starcraft 2 and bad company 2, and as old as morrowind and gta3) have run using "ultimate" settings at 60fps-300fps, ie virtually lag-less, with or without stereoscopic 3d.

The cards are relatively small/short (compared to similar hardware-to-phisical size) and i was able to squeeze two of these into a midsize atx case along with 2 hdds. I had to stagger the hdds and atx cards but it works until i invest in a good full size case.

I am a fan of nvidia and (i regret to say) purchased a raedon a while ago for an older computer. It had nearly the same specs and I ended up having increasingly troublesome software issues...the drivers/drive apps for this card are pretty basic and im thankfull for it. the more flashy the driver apps, the more troubles crop...Read more

When i got this card i was excited.... Then I started playing games... and i ended up with utter disappointment and frustration. When i ran games with physx support, the games kept freezing my system. After trouble shooting for a while... i realize that the product was defective... I ended up returning the product and getting a product made by a different company.

Be careful when buying sparkle products. This one guy in new egg also had a defective product. I am never buying another product made by Sparkle.
