Inno3D Ready to Ship GeForce 400 Series Graphics Accelerators
Here are some delicious pictures of Inno3D's dispatch of GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards, that are ready to ship. Come 26th March, and box-loads of these will reach markets all over. Initially inventories of GeForce 400 series cards across board partners could be low, but it is normal for a new GPU to have small inventories initially, which iron out in a few fortnights' time. Inno3D's accelerators most likely adhere to NVIDIA's reference designs.

*Shoves CDdude55 out of the way* Me first! ;)Even if they shipped GTX4xx cards with no Dx11 support it would be no great loss. There are only few games out there right now that support Dx11 (literally only a few) and about 7-8 more scheduled to be released this year, and you can bet few of them will be delayed until next year or canceled altogether. Also, many of these Dx11 games use very few of the features Dx11 API brings to the table. In other words, some of those Dx11 games are barely Dx11 games to being with. Of course, we know nVidia has Dx11 taken care of, but it seems Dx11 saturation is shaping up to be no different than what happened with Dx10. For every Dx11 or Dx10 game scheduled to be released this year, there are what... 20-30 Dx9 games.
Myself, I'm more interested in raw-power of these cards for benching purposes than anything else. My SLI'd GTX 260 cards can play almost anything I throw at them already, at high-res even.
I just hope my 600w PSU will be able to handle it and rest of my system. I'll probably get the card and a new PSU to go along with it.:)
GTX480 = 600W minimum requirement. You should scrape by but no overclocking....
Like i said, i'm probably just gonna get a new PSU along with the card.:)
The 480 has a 6-pin and an 8-pin :eek:
As for the cards all it means is they will be here soon not they are here now. You have to fake suicide and cash in your life insurance policy to get a Fermi graphics card.

Also notice that they are selling this card with a FREE MOUSEMAT. Yep, that's gonna make all the difference to sales.

I like how everyone is analyzing every little thing just to pull some justification for bashing the card.
Or skip it.
Tee hee, i said 'flaps'.
Someone say gammon.
and that's for ONE card :shadedshu
