Hi

Ebay price for GTX 470 ~ 380 dollars
Ebay price for GTX 480 ~ 630 dollars

if we collect from SLI 2x GTX470 ~ $ 760, is $ 150 more than a single GTX480.
Two GTX 470 will be much faster than a GTX 480??

Well I just bought 2 gtx470's. I figure the improvement of having 896 cores (once multi-gpu is ready) would be better then 480 for just a little more money. They wont be here until friday, and multi-gpu isn't here yet, so I can't give performance numbers yet. Anything will be an improvement over the 8800gt or gts250 I'm currently using.

All systems are at stock speeds and settings.
