In addition I think the availability of these cards is not going to be that great resulting in higher prices.

I spotted this over on XS, go figure, no way to tell what is correct until release in a few weeks. :popcorn:

Hum CPU speed is very low and I wonder if this is crippling both GPUs. These results are very close.

Pics of the XFX surfaced.

XFX GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470 Pictured
Here they are folks, pictures of the GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470 complete with partner branding. These come from XFX, both sticking to NVIDIA's reference design. The XFX GeForce GTX 480 comes with the usual feature set of 1536 MB of GDDR5 memory, 480 CUDA cores, and a broad feature set that includes support for DirectX 11, CUDA, PhysX, 3D Vision Surround, and 3-way SLI. The GeForce GTX 470 retains this feature set, albeit with 448 CUDA cores, and 1280 MB of GDDR5 memory. The two will be released on the 26th of March.

Bad ass ........... gotta get me one of dose ......:thumbsup:

480 is using 295W thats equal to 5970, Pretty wary of its overclocking performance, what do you guyz guess? will it have as much of a oc headroom as a 5870???

I doubt it! At least not on air like the ATI. With some V-mod and LN2 I'm sure we can get some speed out of this thing. :D

Green Drivers ..... and hopfully voltage adjustment will = WIN



I hope

From what I have gathered from reading about these effing cards is this...

They are already voltage adjusted... It is speculated that the outlying transistors aren't getting the same juice as the "inner" ones. That cannot be good.

They are going to be super hot, I cannot see much headroom coming out of these unless you run it under frost.... Even then I see the pwm being a problem.

All in all I'm thinking these might be a huge headache for the price for what we do. For the average gamer they may be fine, but I have serious doubts about this nearly scrapped Fermi project. Pre underclocked and overvolted at stock is not a recipe for win in any book.

The sad thing is... I want one anyway. Go figure. :Dizzy:

Hondacity 03-19-2010 06:36 AM

i'd like to get me some :D stock evga ones........well of course if these beats the 5870s then we're golden :D

DrNip 03-19-2010 07:23 AM

I myself am waiting for this as well as the 5890 to drop before I jump. I don't have it like I use to or else I would jump on one out the gate. I'm thinking these Fermi's are going to be bad arse.

ReverendMaynard 03-19-2010 07:35 AM

I'm at least going 470 at launch.
