Inno3D Releases GTX 470 Hawk Graphics Card

Man that thing is fugly..not bad temps though.

Inno3D released the non-reference design GeForce GTX 470 Hawk graphics card. The card is characterized by the large iChill heatsink which uses a large aluminum fin array that's cooled by three fans. Despite its proportions, the company claims the cooler's noise level to be only around 18 - 29 dBA (max), compared to the up to 38 dBA of the reference cooler. As far as performance goes, Inno3D claims the cooler keeps temperatures up to 22 °C lower than what the reference cooler manages, around the 70 °C mark on load.

Apart from the cooler, the Inno3D GTX 470 Hawk uses a fairly standard NVIDIA reference design PCB that is green in color, and comes with reference clock speeds of 608/1215/837 MHz (core/shader/memory). Like any other GTX 470, the card has 448 CUDA cores, and 1280 MB of GDDR5 memory installed on a 320-bit wide memory interface.

ahhh the "Zeppelin" edition!

that thing looks HUUUUGE! proposed 22 degree drop from cooler is good though

Should have gone with a black PCB

Might have better temps if they used aluminium, it's about 15x more efficient as a heatsink

Still, as long as it's quiet I can look past the Engrish. Ugly though.

+1 on that would look much better.

probably what id buy, if i was in the market

Doesn't look too bad imo, though I'm not sure I like it much either. Should run quite cool.

The steel looks to just be a plate for the led mountthat shrouds the top of the heatsink. The heatsink fins are made of Alu so would expect the heatsink core that touches the gpu to be Alu also.

Copper would have been better of course, or silver even!!!

That should be called the magpie edition.

lol I can see where you're coming from!

That heatsink looks like it was planned to fit a gtx480 by the way it overhangs the back of the card.

nice green PCB

Wow that is huge.

 

[abraxax]

huge.,and looks ugly
