Single card looks weaker than hell after a sizeable overclock from 700mhz core to 900mhz. SOme say SLI will be the saving grace, I sure hope so.

It may be Kal but multi cards don't do shizzle for us in hwbot. The boints are worthless. Plus for the price, and power...we could run 3 5870's.

Nope thats on a 920.

Look at those load tests.....94C? What a pos.

Man o Man. I hate this game sometimes. It's worse than playing poker. Odds are better in poker.

anyways seems to me ..this card is only good for 06. time for me to look for that gigabyte 5870 soc card :D

+1



When the 2Gb monster hits the streets I may have to grab one

the 480 I do not beleive will find a place in my rig

Shame though I was looking forward to them hitting one out of the park

ATI wins this round IMO

Oh well, better luck next time, nVidia. :taunt:

I pre-ordered the ASUS GTX480. I couldn't care if it melts...I need change.

In for the results Rev

They have some work to do before I drop 5 bills on one

but, who knows ?

480 looks pretty good for gaming and stuff (their main audience)

470 not so much surprised the faster shaders on the 470 dont amount to anything.

EDIT: Jeez man there is just too much FUD on this product. Was reading everywhere the 480 was using 1100 MHz shaders vice almsot 1300 MHz shaders on the 470 WTF. Now I see why the 470 is so much weaker...

480 cores on the 480 ... what happened to Firmi's 512 cuda cores ????? Damn, I hate the thought of having to live in ATI world for the foresessable future :(

In for your results though Rev, I would've pre-ordered too had I found a link, and may order one yet if the egg ever gets them back in stock..... someone pinch me and wake me up from this bad dream :scared:

monstrus result were with stock voltages and that was @ 900mhz core... if it were pushed with vcore...i think this will be ok... asus card owners might be in for a surprise...looking at the architecture..their drivers might be not fully optimized. damn i hate waiting..

Don't hate the game, hate the playa! Gonna find out if your correct tonight Duke, hold 'em tourney at 7pm for Maddy and I.
Also, don't loose to much sleep bout this release just yet. Shammy will pull out a ftw/classy version with major voltage control for extreme, and it will prolly eclipse the 5870 finally,....just gonna take some time. ATI will prolly respond with the 5890 in the interim,...there will be plenty of choices to cherry pick from, patience my large loobed pal.

was just lookin at the 480 ftw on evga website ... hydro copper looked like an EK waterblock. Wierdest thing was, NO EvBot port ??? wtf ??

i think thats only on Evga models. These are referance cards.

Hydrocopper is swiftech same as they used for GTX285, GTX295. No EvBot since it is a reference design Nvidia card. Prolly be a few months before a non reference card comes out.

Yes, i agree...Time to wait and watch..I see that the Canucks review shows the 480 as one hot sucker..This prolly won't matter to the LN guys but their review is less than flattering...

Nvidida said these aren't true Firmi cards. Same design, but they are still working on the 512 core.

Which article covered that? Got linky?

Lol, I dont remember. Been too many. Read it about a week or two ago.

http://vr-zone.com/articles/nvidia-g...aled/8635.html

The 470/480 are fermi cards, not GF100 though. Had it mixed up a bit.

Must wait for the 512 then. Unless i see somthing that changes my mind.

I'm thinkin the same, but to date my ability to wait hasn't been too good :P

Yeah tell me about it! :D:D

Holy crap! you see what Shammy is doing with them? 1100 core, 2200 shaders geez

53K cpu score in vantage...

29K Pscore so far with a 4GHz gulftown :s

WR is 31 with a 1485MHz 5870 and 5.5GHzx2 on an SR2

Sounds like a 485 around the corner. Going to have to wait for that now.

i think the reference cards need some mods....the pwm circuit..looks small..just looking at the power consumption of non-overclocked card reviews..they're already pulling alot of wattage.

http://hwbot.org/article/news/shamino_also_tests_gtx480

shamino tried....
memory...a bottle neck
i guess thats why nvidia priced it low...
if ati brings the 5890 to the table now...its gonna be bad for nvidia...
even if nvdia brings out the 512 cuda cores...clock for clock..5890 might be faster
still to early to speculate though..maybe hipro has his maximizer on it already...

I just canceled my preorder. After taking a closer look, the 5870 is a better card for me right now and I still have allot of boints to milk from it.

is yours asus or msi?

oh crap ..he did use a mod...well...an external power circuit http://www.kingpincooling.com/forum/...read.php?t=635

I'm in graphics card limbo. :Dizzy::Dizzy::Dizzy::Dizzy::Dizzy:

does gtx480 support tripple sli? :D

ASUS. I think after the MSI Lightening fiasco I'll boycott any MSI purchases in respect for my bro's that got arse banged.

That aside, why?

can you raise vgpu via software?

I don't have it Honda, it was a preorder that I cancelled.

nobody knows?

Definitely triple and the ftw from evga will support 4-way I believe

thanksss :D i'm looking forward to certified psu for this setup

i already messaged corsair if they have something new...i'm awaiting reply :D

2x PCP&C TC-1200 FTMFW. I don't think you are goin to find one psu to run the multi cpu boards with quad sli/cf
