Newegg has some
Recertified PNY GTX 470 for $194 which is a gret price.I have bought many refrubish items at newegg and always had good luck with the items I bought.

Did I put this in the wrong place,because $194.99 and 7.56 plus other benifits for a GTX 470 is a great deal,90% of the time if a card last that 90 days then it is going tp last.I bought a Refrubish PNY GTX 280 and It is still working.Mine clock at 825/1650/3900,not to say all will clock that high,but must will do at least 770/1540/3750.

You're just too late for people to care about recertified 470s. NVIDIA partners released 560s, and they are better cards:

560s are available for ~$200-$220 AMIR and have several advantages, so people probably aren't as enthused about $200 470s.

I'd go for a GTX 560 Ti over a 470 any day!

Would you guys advise me moving from a 470 to a 560?

[bob saget]

i don't think it would be worth it. here is one results graph. 560 seems very slightly ahead, less than 10 fps.



Here's the whole dealio http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...-review-9.html

Defenitly 570! Although the 570 does not come close to 470 in SLI. I would buy another 470 GTX I'm going too. You can get them Brand new for $260 with lifetime warrenty.

DOES NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO A 470 SLI SETUP!

I agree the 560 TI looks good ,but the 470 overclocks pretty easy to 700/1800 with no voltage increase or at least the three i have will.With a voltage increase they will do 825/1900.Plus the extra ram helps if you are running at really high resolutions.But if you can get a new 560TI for under $200 then I would go for that.

Yes, but selling the first 470 and getting two 560Tis makes good sense.

[john19055]

Not really if you already have two GTX 470's.They run about the same in games,but the 560 TI is around 5 to 10 fps faster but the 560 TI comes clocked at 822/1644/4008 and the reviews of the GTX 470 is just clocked at 607/1215/3348.The 560Ti has a 215mhz gain on the core and 650mhz on the memory.Once you set the GTX 470 at 700/1400/3800 ,they run around the same.I know you could clock the 560 Ti faster.as I can run all three of my GTX 470's at 825/1650/3900 with some voltage increase.I think if you already have a GTX 470 and a board that will run SLI ,plus a good power supply,it would be better and cheaper just to get another GTX 470 since you can get them as low as $180 and $150 with the rebate.Now if you are going to buy a new card and just going to run one then I would go with a 560 Ti or a HD 6950 since they cost around the same ,but the Hd 6950 is a little faster plus if you look around you can get a 2gig HD 6950 for around $240.Plus Since my house burnt down I don' have the boxes or the accessories and probbally coud'nt even get $150 for each of my GTX 470's since you can get a recertified evga with a box ,plus accessories for $149 after rebate.So I will be stuck with my three GTX 470's for a very long time.
