Gainward GeForce GTX 470 GOOD Edition Video Card Launched
Gainward recently released their Gainward Optimized Own Design (GOOD) for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 video card. Gainward says that the custom design card received an optimized circuit layout on a longer PCB (10.5 inches to NVIDIA reference 9.5 inches), which enables better overclockability due to they fact that they used more PWM power modules with better solid-state components on the PCB. Gainward also can use a larger heat-pipes cooler with dual 8 cm double bearing fans for improved thermal characteristics and significantly reduced noise at full load thanks to the longer PCB design. Even better, the card is geared with QuattroPorts integrated 4 ports in 1 including DisplayPort, HDMI 1.3a (upgradeable to HDMI 1.4 support for 3D format with upcoming NVIDIA 3DTV Play) & Dual DVIs for truly diverse display options.
Gainward GeForce GTX 470 GOOD Edition features 1280MB GDDR5 memory clocked at 1674MHz (Bandwidth 133.92 GB/sec), core clock is set at standard 607MHz. Although clockrate is rather modest by default, better cooling and optimized circuit have left lots of headroom for overclocking by Gainward award winning graphics tuning utility Expertool, which activates clockrate settings and fan control with user-friendly interface and fail-safe clock-down override. Even the first-timers can exercise overclocking with peace of mind.
