snapped a photo of Gigabyte's upcoming GeForce GTX 470 SuperOverclock graphics card. The card features a non-reference design, but unfortunately it's unknown how high it will be clocked.
The card is built using Gigabyte's Ultra Durable VGA Plus (UDV+) technology, and makes use of a 12+2 phase VRM, because of which the PCB is about as long as a GTX 480. The GPU and memory chips used are said to be hand-picked (by binning), to have the highest overclocking potential. The GPU cooler used is no less complex, making use of a large aluminum fin array that's cooled by three fans that's are slightly inclined to reduce turbulence.
