This is why it is so paramount that nV has something here as if not ATI will hold all the cards and with no competion they can put the screws to us :ohcrap:
Either way we end up spending cash again since we are addicted to get the fastest product out there. :D :shock:

I can't wait to get back benching on some nV gear. Love their drivers.

Witchdoctor 03-26-2010 05:04 AM
Yea me to Rev... just hope it is fast enough for some global goodness....

ReverendMaynard 03-26-2010 05:09 AM
They could be 50% slower than Ati's gear right now and I'd still be excited for something new.

Looking at the specs... for desktop users the 470 looks to be the card to buy. about -10% cuda cores running at +20% speed over the 480 (unless it was a typo in the specs)

For benchers of course. the 480 ;)

lol, yeah, you're probably right. Now we just need the hard mods to get them up to speed. ;)

2 5870s loaded uses less power than a single 470 OMFG


(and looks like like it handles the 480 pretty well on performance wise in games I heard of :) )

From what I can tell from those reviews.


2x 480 > 5970
480 = 5870
5850 > 470
