GeForce GTX 480 Gets Listed
An online PC hardware store, SabrePC.com, has listed a graphics card based on NVIDIA's upcoming DirectX 11 compliant GeForce GTX 480 GPU. And the price: $699 before a $20 rebate. The listing is of a graphics card by NVIDIA partner XFX.
The specifications known at this point in time are that the GeForce GTX 480 is based on NVIDIA's GF100 graphics processor. It is DirectX 11 compliant, and has 512 shader units (dubbed CUDA cores), a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, and multiple tessellation units. NVIDIA is expected to announce the card along with a cheaper variant, the GeForce GTX 470, later this quarter. By early Q2, the company expects healthy inventories.

That being said, what's with the change to GTX 400 series already?
I know sometimes a company will rebrand cards (the 8800GT/9800GT/GTS250 or whatever), and sometimes will release a new version number to denote only a miniscule amount of changes (the HD 3000 series), but I don't think a company has ever skipped a series completely, have they? :wtf:
Cons: It's mythical, you can hear about it's greatness more then you can see it because it's a force of nature, not a material object
Other Thoughts: I have 8 of these in octuplet SLI, it blew up my first 10 monitors it's so good.
Im dead rolling under my desk now :D
Pros: Holy hell, This card has 10x Hyperthreading, 99 million shaders and 5 Gigawagons of memory. I can finally play 2 instances of minesweeper without an FPS drop. HELL YEAH !:laugh:
Cons: I can now automatically calculate my position in space, and plot the course to the closest inhabited solar system. Kirk would be proud. Picard Out.
Other Thoughts: Another con is that this card does not have phasers. What will i do when i meet the klingons? :roll:
check review
did u read this one?
Review :My Wife Left Me
Pros: Packaging was pretty nice. Came with a free copy of Metro 2033 and Bioshock 2.
Cons: I came home 2 days after installing into my computer, and found my wife packing her bags, saying she was moving out and taking the GTX480 with her. She said it pleases her in more ways than I would ever know. She packed her bags and took the kids.
Other Thoughts: The house is empty.
still i believe the price for gtx 470 will be 299$ as mentioned in tweaktown
That would make a funny as hell sig statement:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Pros: IT WAS WORTH THE MONEY
Cons: I flushed it down the toilet by accident
Other Thoughts: If you ore someone you know finds a GTX 480 in a sewage plant, send to me, I don't think I can get a rma without the decal
:laugh:
Cries............
Pros: Uaaarghhh! I thought I lost MY PRECIOUS when that midget Frodo dropped it in Mount Doom but nVIDIA gave it back to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! GOLLUM MY PRRRRRRRRECIOUSSSS GOLLUM Thank you so much nVIDIA for returning it to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CURSE YOU FRODO
Cons: GOLLUM
Other Thoughts: Tastes like FISH
But really,i dunno what's the surprise.The GTX280 sold for exactly the same price when it was released and look how much it costs right now.If the same situation that happened with the RV770 x GT200 happens now,then the GTX470 will probably compete with the 5870 and the GTX480 will be close to the 5970.But that's just my guess,like everybody else i'm waiting for the reviews.
If it actually competes with the 5970 (not sayin it will)that price is on par. All the 5970s I see are from $649-699
