GTX470 vs GTX275: some benchmarks...
01 07 10 - 21:25 GTX275 and E8500 at 3.3GHZ:3dMark Vantage: 13480 3dMarks, 34158 CPU, 11216 GPU
3dMark 06: 14839 3DMarks, 6828 SM 2.0, 7545 SM 3.0, 2988 CPU
Fur
X-Plane 9: Extreme res, 3x1680x1050 multihead, 15nm visibility: ~20fps
GTX470 and E8500 at 3518MHZ:
3dMark Vantage: 16790 3dmarks, 38769 CPU, 14122 GPU
3dMark 06: 16268 3dMarks, 6969 SM 2.0, 9103 SM 3.0, 3127 CPU
FurMark: same as above: 4177 points
X-Plane 9: ~25FPS, same settings, but I think it's actually achieving 15nm. This is without Nvidia
Reboot test: All 3 screens work, every time :D
Only annoyance is that I actually bought the GT220 because the fan in the card it's replacing is annoyingly loud, but MSI Afterburner allows you to adjust it down a bit.
