NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Fermi

Hmm.. I knew I wouldn't be dissapointed by ATI when I purchased my 5850 and XFX 5850. I was actually hoping nVidia would beat the 5970s

KainXS · Mar 26, 2010

the power consumption alone makes this card a failure in my eyes, its crazy, if it were like 280 i could understand but 300+ . . . . .

I had 5850's in my basket at launch and held off. I wish I'd grabbed them. Launch price too..

3 of those in SLI w/ a heavily OCd processor. You'd need a 1.5kW psu. Not to mention an air conditioner in place of the side panel to keep the heat from remelting the steel

I'm not one to bitch about power consumption but this is crazy, the temps are insane when compared to 5870's. Infreakinsane..

KainXS · Mar 26, 2010

yeah the temps are bad . . . . SLI =?

but the fan on the card is very powerful I don't think it will overheat before it sounded like a jet in your pc.

Azza_1 · Mar 26, 2010

I'm also confused by the ATI drivers used...

I said it a few weeks ago and I'll say it again. You wanna run these cards in tri-SLI? Get something like Fits' Mega rig. Otherwise, with summer here soon, EPIC FAIL. :laugh:

pentastar111 · Mar 26, 2010

Hmmm...I see no reason to replace my 285's yet. And if I do it'll be so that I can do eyefinity. Which means no nVidia anyway. Also, there is waaaay tooooo much heat and power draw. :eek:

fochkoph · Mar 26, 2010

Any chance Bad Company 2 will become a standard in the benchmarks?

epicfail · Mar 26, 2010

the o so great new card by nvidia gets beaten by the old 4870x2 on some tests ;-) not lots of tests but still.

ill stay with my old card ty

Not impressed, I'll wait for future revisions.

ATI: Catalyst 9.12 ??

A review that uses 10.3a for all ATI cards:
http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,...eviewed-Fermi-performance-benchmarks/Reviews/

Reefer86 · Mar 26, 2010

im sorry but using the 9.12 drivers really has made the 5870 look like a chump.

For example in heaven 2.0 @ 1920x1200

the review gave it 27.1

im using 10.3 drivers and i get 39.4 which beats the 480.

Thats a huge difference, i cant believe that was overlooked.
We want to know how good the 480 is compared to a 5870 now (with latest drivers) not 3 months ago.

I will have to look around for a more complete reveiw.

KainXS · Mar 26, 2010

I waited with my GTX280 long enough im gettin 2 5970's and goin back to amd land.

F2K · Mar 26, 2010

Sorry but I had to skip the review because of the old ATI drivers. This would represent a wrong image in my head.

HalfAHertz · Mar 26, 2010

Nvidia definitely delivered on performance, but everything else about the card is quite sketchy. BTW I'm still selling my easy-bake solutions!

DaedalusHelios · Mar 26, 2010

I am glad ATi fanboys will now cease posting "semiaccurate" website links that are BS now that the cards are on the table. Maybe I spoke to soon on the growing up part.

I am sticking with my 5870's thanks to the better pricing. Power consumption is not my worry. Initial cost to purchase the cards is my main concern. Nvidia will have to drop prices to move serious volume in this competitive market. Nvidia needs to drop them by $100 at least.

crow1001 · Mar 26, 2010

The cards are not available, semi has been right all along.

Steevo · Mar 26, 2010

Epic FAIL!!!

And utter RAPE!!!!

$379 with Dirt2

eidairaman1 · Mar 26, 2010

basically AMD has executed a Choke Hold Maneuver on Nvidia in the pricing market. AMD has a lead in DX11 sales and will continue to succeed and then will lower pricing of the first gen 5800 series with the Launch of the Second Gen 5800 Series. At Least is what I expect.

Maban · Mar 26, 2010

How much power does the card consume when OCed?

ERazer · Mar 26, 2010

Without increasing volts it should be the default 320W under load.

Surely it would need more amps though wouldn't it?
