GTX 470 compared to 480 has less texture and raster blocks, lower GPU and memory clocks and memory bandwidth as well as less memory itself. The outlook of these cards has differences too — GTX 480 has more complex cooling system and its board is 26mm longer than 470’s:
Both cards have same width and Display Connectors:
