That's great, thanks for the advice.

I'm thinking of the 560 ti which has 1280mb and 448 cuda cores, so the same as the 470 really.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Hey t_3, quick question for you.

Do you think I would be okay running a GeForce GTX 560 Ti with my 470? Seems to be pretty much the same spec but I guess my concern is if it has a different architecture, would that cause any problems? I'm not bothered about using SLI at all.

Thanks in advance ...

Thinking it might be a 570 at the moment, think nvidia are phasing out the gtx 470 because it was bit of a flop and there aren't actually that many around, all the £200 470's seem to be sold out.

I'll let you know how I get on. You never know my avatar might be smiling next time you see it...

Ah right, thanks for all the advice t_3!

Yeah thinking about it space might still be a bit tight. I've got a Cosmos Cooler Master, the power supply at the bottom is quite close to the spare slot.

Ha ha! Thanks. That avatar was a bit of work I did years ago, an army general that I never finished.

I think I know what you mean about mounting the cards. I thought they were a bit close when I installed the gtx 465 next to the 470. My current 470 is a Palit and has 2 fans underneath and the ASUS ...

Thanks for the link t_3.

Thanks for the replies guys, the company I bought the card off are taking it back and refunding me the money which is good.

Just need to find another 470 at a reasonable price now.

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has encountered this before.

I bought a new GTX 470 to go with my current GTX 470, after installing though it is showing up as a lower spec GTX 465 (less onboard memory etc). The weird thing though is that rather than having 352 cuda cores as the 465 should it's ...

Thanks for the reply Populus.

I've played it safe and gone for another gtx 470 which I found for a good price. I hope it's as easy for me as it was for you.
