What other cards can I use with GTX 470.

[Skinner]

Hi,

Just wondering if I can run any other gpu's with my GTX470? Or can I get a 460, 480 etc? When I bought th PC I specced it to handle more than one card so the power supply should be fine. I'm not too bothered about the need for SLi as I need the extra card for rendering 3d scenes in Octane render which uses Cuda cores.

Here's my PC set up:
Processor (CPU): Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-950 (3.06GHz) 4.8GTs/8MB Cache
Motherboard: ASUS® P6X58D-E: DDR3, USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, 3-Way SLI
Memory (RAM): 12GB SAMSUNG DDR3 TRI-DDR3 1333MHz (3 x 4GB)
Graphics Card: 1280MB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX470

Thanks in advance.
Chris.

You can use the 470 and no other as SLI don't support different architectures mixing

Thanks Jack. I'm not bothered about SLI, but it looks like I will need to use the same card anyway.
