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.

I'll wait and see before bashing the card for not arriving on a decent time schedule.

Here's hoping to a beast of a card.:toast:

decent time would be a month late, a bad time would be two months late.



Dear nvidia, your new card had better produce "Real Life©" for the length of time it has taken. My children are more advanced and have more features, like a programmable beer fetch mode among many others, they were more fun to make for sure. I regularly overclock my children by giving them caffeinated beverages that causes no lockups or other issues, there was a need to purchase additional hardware for their use but most of it was quite inexpensive, and have only twice suffered from a overheating and pukey performance. I even imagine they cost less for me than for your whole company. Your product better perform.

Yeah me too... but its not so much a bashing of the card as it is of... "ARE YOU READY!?!?! CHECK BACK ON MONDAY 9AM FOR NEWS! (AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING) YOURE NOT READY FOR THIS!!!"

Monday 9AM: "IN ONE MONTH WE WILL SHOW YOU AWESOMENESS! YEAH!"

:wtf:

what the hell? you made everyone wait till 9AM on Monday to tell them that you will show them something in a month? lol. Seriously?

newtekie1Seriously, you all are going nuts over some random website's pre-order price?

I seem to remember the HD5800 pre-order prices to be very similar...

Don't judge the product until we know how much it actually costs, and how it actually performs.

I highly doubt they won't be competitive. If the GTX480 is more powerful than the HD5870, then it will cost more, however there will be lower cards that perform similar to the HD5870 that will likely cost the same. Just like the GTX200 series and the HD4000 series.
i really agree with you..

All I can say is, Fermi better be way more awesome than the majority of the PC building/modding community so far seems to think it will be, or nVidia is in for tough times.

No, actually "loose" is actually quite accurate in regards to what you're going to have to do to buy one.
Steevodecent time would be a month late, a bad time would be two months late.
Considering the thing is already nearly 10 months late (I remember it was supposed to be here in September), I think anytime now is great.
edilee012I am a fan of Nvidia products and as history shows us Nvidia products have always out performed ATI product and this has never changed.
I know a certain vacuum cleaner that wants a word with you.

What I want to see is a pic of Nvidias CEO with the Fermi card in his ass, and him screaming I'm going to come.


Considering by W1zzards tests three of the five noisiest graphics cards are Nvidia, and they are close to as loud as ATI's dual GPU solutions.

I found this in another thread.....

ATI chips on 210

Maybe Fermi isn't out because Nvidia is waiting on ATI to supply them with chips? :D

WTF happen to Nvidia?! They have turned into an epic fail machine.
