GeForce GTX 480 Gets Listed

[pr0n Inspector]

That site apparently specializes in Quadro cards. Avoid niche stores.

The GTX 480, the one stop VGA-solution that you have to sell your car (or Rolex) for! Good job Nvidia!

 

[vanyots]

Single GPU 5870 = 399$ Dual GPU 5970 = 699$ (649 in discount) and not 2 * 399 = 798. Just sayin'.

You believe 5970 = 2x5870 ??? :shadedshu
(check the clockspeeds)

That's funny, I stopped using nVidia for that exact reason, but let's not let threadcrap.

On-topic: nVidia has either a beast of a card on their hands, or they've lost all sense of reality. Can't wait to find out which it is.

If they can get the kind of performance that warrants a $700.00 card, you'll probably be able to cook on it...One of the reasons I stopped using their cards.

He was talking about a previous post regarding PRICE not performance(check the post he quoted)

You mean the clock speeds you change with a program that comes with the card?

Yes -- a 5970 is two downclocked 5870's. A downclocked 5870 is still a 5870 -- a 5850 would have less shaders per core.

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?

Pros: 12,983,249,893,843 cuda cores of graphical rendering goodiness RENDERS MIDGET PORN LIKE NO OTHER, THOSE LITTLE BASTARDS LOOK LIFE SIZED WITH THESE CARDS !!!!
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

 

[Delta6326]

well im happy this came out should drop ati prices and man are those reviews amazing
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 !

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?

Didn't Nvidia skip the GTX 100 series? Maybe they don't like odd numbers.

 

[majestic12]

1-series were released as OEM cards, just like the 3 series. Of course, there's no GTX series and it's a bit confusing having a GTS150 OEM card that is also the same as the GTS250, 9800GTX+, etc.

 

[subhendu]

wrong news in saberpc
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

 

[kid41212003]

It's a joke.

 

[mtosev]

unbelivable. nvidia will be shipping new Fermi cards

Yea, I fricking lost it when I started reading that review

That would make a funny as hell sig statement

 

[majestic12]

These are some of the best product reviews I've ever read.

 

[Lionheart]

If the GTX 480 performs really well and going by the specs that it has, Im sure it will rape, Im going to pik one up, but might wait several months for drivers to become more stable!

 

[Fourstaff]

Finally! Now we wait for ATI to drop their prices and completely outplay Nvidia, with us (hopefully) as the winner.

 

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

Don't dual gpu cards normally cost a little less then 2x a single card?

$1397?

 

[Sasqui]

Damn, they are really funny...

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

 

[Vincy Boy]

Pros: This thing is as fast as a toyota with a stuck accelerator. Need I say more?

Cries............

i LOL'ED

 

[cauby]

The one that made me LOL:

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.

 

[OneCool]

Im surprised they dont want more for it being a 2gb gddr5 card.

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

 

[locoty]

and the big announcement is nvidia will launch gtx480 march 26th, just a month from now, oh shit i have stay this late just to see the the card still month away
