The GTX 480/470 performance thread

Fermi has failed us in the culinary side of things.
grilling myth is busted. 45 minutes in and it looks like, egg still wont cook.. now if only they placed the fan @ 10% and fire off furmark...

Damn, and i was planning to throw some bacon on one of those cards.

Provided you already have decent psu, mobo and ram then the choices are:

-HD5970 not including a CPU

or

-GTX480 and choice of Phenom II 965 or I5 660/I7 750

Aw-ww I will have to remove my signature, before someone buys my product and sues me for false advertising

Did someone say BACON?????!

Hah. Looks like nVidia are trying to worm out of it.

Fail, nVidia. :shadedshu

Yeah. I just posted on it too, as "Michael"
People across all forums, even nVidia's facebook pages are really annoying me. Everyone seems to be a fanboi for either team. Its ridiculous and pathetic.

lol

its actually pretty true there are alot of reviewers that are saying that the 480 gets hot enough to burn you even if you just tap it, including the admin here,

http://img.techpowerup.org/100329/thermi.jpg

at least you can eat while you play now

can you imagine when the heatsink gets dirty though . . . . . .

Still lol'ing on the pic. :laugh:

I got used to NV : since 3Dfx lost the battle way back in 1999 - 2000, i am with this firm's cards, but never being a fanboy, just lazy to change what i got used to.

As for the mood that currently occupies this thread (more than "just" hostile) i have to say this : as some of you said it would definitelly be insane to buy this card currently & especially in April 14th (since it's the day when cards will hit the shelves, i think), but better wait for custom cooled solution. I think eVga already doing the works behind the dual fans solution for both 480 & 470.

Still can't get hold of myself from lol'ing my guts out cause of that pic. :roll:

LMAO OMG - no comment

Fudzilla just posted an article that one of 2 TSMC's wafer conveyor control arms are not operational from this morning , which halts the production of nvidia's fermi cores by 50% for now , due to heavy storm at night that knocked out not only electricity but also damaged the fabs circuricity for this part of the fab because of a falling power line pole. haha , like lol , couldn't have been worse time for nvidia , bad luck.

YautjaLord · Apr 2, 2010

I have to fix what i said earlier : this is not just eVga, but also Palit that does the dual-fan cooled GTX 480 (same goes for 470) :

Wonder will those be cooking friendly or not, but the cards sure look tasty. :laugh:

eidairaman1 · Apr 2, 2010

reminds me of the asus 4870/90 they released with twin fans

I saw Fudzilla's article too and it did say just that. However, it might have been an April Fool, because I can't see it now. Regardless, the poster shouldn't have made his post without linking directly to the article.

stinzza · Apr 3, 2010

the new geforce does have a Big default.. its to warm at stock!! so clocking will not reach the best of the 5000 series of the lovely ati!! its king that the 5000 have been in sales for over 6mnd :rockout:

.. but must say that its let show and lets get it on ey :toast:

for ati and nvidia show the money

the gf100 is r600.. a big spec for show.. a fail the show

dumo · Apr 3, 2010

We can't assume anything about GTX480....untill it sit on top of our pci-e socket

Talk about hot, 5970 is hot

stinzza · Apr 3, 2010

no its not.. this new gf100 is takeoff.. the transistor count is a waist for gaming.. but you are right.. dont assume.. just argue the fact thats on the table.. for a gamer

HAHAHAHAH

APRIL FOOL , I knew someone would BITE! (a bit late though)

What is a "wafer conveyor control arm" hahah

YautjaLord · Apr 3, 2010

April's Fool is already ages old, but everyone are still blubbing about it : yeah i clicked on your Fudzilla link Snajper & got the same "treatment". :laugh:

Anyone wonders when the GTX 580 will come out ?

Benetanegia · Apr 3, 2010

The 500 series will probably be reserved for OEM parts, just like the 100 and 300 series. The next high-end chip will not come until 28nm process is available and working properly and apparently that will not be until 2011.

A G92-like chip with reduced ROP/BW but increased FLOP/Texturing could be on its way for a Q4 2010 release though and depending on how it performs and how AMD decides to name their next chip (i.e if they pull out a HD3000 series again), that Nvidia card could end up being GTX500 or GTX600 series.

A 256 bit card with greater performance is more than posible considering that GTX4xx is using very slow memory at around 3600 Mhz (memory bandwidth is similar to HD5870). At 4800 Mhz or even using the 7 Ghz chips that should be available for then, Nvidia wouldn't have any problems in that respect.

GSquadron · Apr 3, 2010

Normally we don't have to use our brains for what nvidia or ati will do, but what nvidia did this time makes us to use all the brain to understand what the hell happened to the king?

dumo · Apr 3, 2010

If ZZF ship GTX480 Monday, I will test it Tuesday

Ehehe , the time zones makes for the delay in april fools , that's probably the case... So I get the full blow of tricks on April 2. Atleast stuff from us.

btw , about my nick , read it as "snayper" , it would be more undertandable to a lot of you ...
