the guy dosen't want multi gpu. Anyway i would suggest buying a gtx 465 and unlocking it to a 470. gives better potential and value for money. Also you get the added benefit of PHYSX and CUDA (who ever says its a hype is wrong to the core, as i tested it out to bet very efficient). You would want to take a look at the palit or zotac for the 465..

POV GTX 465 is a good choice aswell, me old man has one and its a good looking card and works well, seems to be a little cooler than my GTX470 when it was in solo mode. (by about 7-10oC under load)

POV - Point Of View by the way :)

I didn't know that you could unlock the GPU cores.

yeah...! that was only possible with the gtx 465. I reckon that since palit used the same amount of memory blocks as the 470 (i think 12) on their 465 boards, it provides the ability to stabilise the unlocked cores. its just a theory but who cares as long as we get a good price/performance ratio. dont you agree?
