Zotac Readies GeForce GTX 480 Amp! Edition Graphics Card
Zotac is ready with one of the first non-reference design GeForce GTX 480 graphics card, the Zotac GTX 480 amp! Edition. At the center of its design is the Zalman VF3000 GPU cooler sitting atop an NVIDIA reference design PCB. Overclocked out of the box, the amp! Edition card has clock speeds of 750 MHz (core), 1512 MHz (shader), and 950 MHz / 3800 MHz effective (memory), against reference speeds of 700/1401/924(3700) MHz.
The gigantic VF3000 cooler makes the card require three expansion slots. As with every other GTX 480, the GTX 480 Amp! Edition packs 480 CUDA cores, is DirectX 11 compliant, and has 1536 MB of GDDR5 memory across a 384-bit wide interface. Zotac has not let out any more information, particularly pricing and availability.

(yes I know the former's GTX 480 and the latter's GTX 470, but that wasn't the point)

It's not that expensive, £33/€38/$50 (most likely less in US, just straight conversion)
Dang now my eggs are scrambled up :mad:
But that is a cool looking cooler
But if that doesn't bother then it'll be ok. I'd still go for Accelero Xtreme version when it will be out. GTX 480 is quite a lot of heat for that cooler 470 will be more home with it.
No heat no noise you can sleep without shut down the system.
Unless they clock down the 465, but in that case why bother?
