NVIDIA To Unveil GeForce GTX 400 Series at PAX
NVIDIA built a fair bit of hype over the weekend on Twitter, when it said that come Monday, it would make a "major announcement". It turns out that the company will unveil its GeForce GTX 400 series graphics card at the PAX East gaming event to be held in late March, on the 26th, 31 days away at the time of preparing this report. The PAX East event will be held in Boston, United States.
NVIDIA will unveil two of its high-end, next-generation graphics cards based on the GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470. Being DirectX 11 compliant marks that generation shift. An American online retailer listed the GeForce GTX 480 for US $699 on pre-order.

Fermi is probably nothing more then the G92 chip with DX11 added to it. Like them adding 10.1 to the G200.
Nvidia management is in a dream world.
it's going to be very interesting to see how these perform. they'd better beat the 5k series, especially with them only being 6 months ahead of ATi's 6k series which is a whole new arcitecture.
lol :)
The listed price doesn`t look like a Fermi card price, it looks more like a "same product line price"(or something like that). They just copied the price from another 2GB GDDR5 card, namely Ati HD5970 with 50% lower discount.
But if things were going well, they wouldn't make a 'major' announcement about a future announcement.
Thought this image from madshrimps was hilarious.
@ Dyno - the 300 series cards are just for OEM. So, I guess then it means that the 100's have been renamed to the 300's....

Remember when I said 649$? I really meant 700$
Oh, make sure you have your "Fermi Approved" case, so your cards won't melt the rest of your components. forums.legitreviews.com/about25148.html
I still think it will be around 650$ for a GTX480.
Funny you picked my post to troll on, even though your comment has nothing to do with mine? I'm not flustered in the least. I find this heavily entertaining. You are an interesting fellow.
if these cards are truly going to be that price then i will be pissed. why not offer a mid-range alternative. nvidia is starting to piss me off!
