    Tried most of them. Plus it needs a modded inf despite supporting the 470m. Oh well.

    Oh, ok... this really sucks... card gets recognized but no 3d clocks... damn. Overclocking doesn't work I guess... di you already try modifying th vbios and change the 2d clocks to 3d clocks (and voltage)?

    Don't really want to risk it plus nibitor doesn't play well with Fermi cards. Also the card causes some kind of corruption on the display giving weird colours but only happens at a certain angle, really baffles me. At first I thought it was the display but swapping cards back and forth it is the GPU. Oh well. Guess I'm gonna join the 6970m club then :D

    Bummer, Widezu69. Did they ever get the 470M working in the R3?

    I think they skipped that seeing as the 485m works fine (minus fan control which is remedied by HWInfo anyways). Anyways the card is possibly going to a Clevo user who will better benefit from it and I shall be getting a 6970m :)

    All's well that ends well. You'll be happier with the 6970m anyway, difficult as that may seem for a loyal nVidia supporter. LOL.

    Hmm... I want to get my hands on a 485m, just to see whether it works :D Too bad I don't know anyone with such a card...

    Too bad it didn't work widezu..
