The 470 is a solid option for a middle of the mall runner.

This card has problems with temperatures! Why didn’t write temperature problems. When gpu is load, temperature is 80C and more. Very bad from Gigabyte for this card.
Yes temperature for this card is ridiculous new improved fans yeh right its 1/3 smaller than on the r9 270 i believe gigabyte is now just all hype . I used to rely on gigabyte for all my parts not anymore, they dont even go for as long as their warranty, misuse of technical knowledge and an inability to implement it. My god they have been doing this since 1986 and they are getting worse, i suppose when sales drop they might actually care again.
there is a bios update to fix this. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5990#bios
Does it keep the temps down to 75C?
