Or they pushed back release till they could meet those claims.. which is more likely?

I aint saying that they would purposely delay fermi to get a 5-10% margin,... just saying that most nvidiot fans mentioned.. If it DOES NOT they wont buy it!


Well hell....how are they supposed to charge these morons 150 -200% market value if they dont?

look you pay as much for a 285 now as a 5800 series...

Not sure if these numbers are remotely accurate this early as most of the guys I know on the inside of things either haven't recieved the cards or just got them in like the last 5 minutes.

if thats true, suck a D lightning

Still going to take that as loaded bench runs from nVidia like the article says. Let's see one of these in our hands then we can make some conclusions. I think the whole Lightening fiasco has opened some eye's.

def, I wont even trust the review cards anymore. Until I have one in my hands or my brothers have one I will assume its nothing special.

Something I learned a long time ago brother. Being a bit jaded in this sport works to your advantage.

Yea in your hands retail is the only true judge of preformance unless you are one of the few that get the hand picked cherries given to you .....

Wow if that review is even close... that is good news for fermi :)

Can't wait to see what you guys do with them.

I hope this is true too. I am a Nvidia guy for my everyday cruiser, gaming, etc. Only time I mess with ATI is for benching.

TWIMTBP :thumbsup:

Well my GTX480 better be 171.428% as fast as my GTX280, or I will know that Nv's number schemes and re-branding is just an inaccurate and poorly conceived marketing ploy.






This one's for you Rev.:party:= Rom after lightning and 980x fiascos

171% would be worth the price of admision :thumbsup:

Asus claiming 50% faster performance with voltage tweak. Isnt it like 15-18% usualy?

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/fer...tage,9965.html

With extreme cooling you might get close to 50%, but on stock cooling hellno!

LOL They mean 50% faster voltage tweaks instead of taking 10 ms it only takes 5 now. hee hee

Would be SICK if you could get +60% GPU Core speed or whatever it is that is needed to get 50% better performance though :)

Might be time to buy a second or third 5870 with the money I was saving for the 480's ???

This sucks ... and I sold my 5870 :ohcrap:

Well may have to look at another one I guess ... Anyone have the skinny on the Gigy SOC ?

Semiaccurate and its from February 20th. Don't drop the hammer yet on this one.

Yea waiting for retail for now

I have my fingers crossed for nV ....

If this card blows ATI will spoon feed us clock bumps for the next year :ohcrap:

Its anybody's guess with Nvidia what the facts jacks are. Isn't NDA lifted today?

Yeah 6PM east! Few more hours BOSS! Here is a review!

It's not looking good at all for the 480, unless the price goes down!

Don't know if it relates or not, but eVGA isn't displaying any 295s on their product page anymore ... ?? They were there yesterday ;)

Benchmarks
http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/...480_sli_review

EVGA 529 for the super clocked. ZZF 699 for the super clocked. lol

I dont trust the numbers in that thread. My 5870 at stock clocks will get 36+ FPS in Crysis/Warhead at max settings 1080P with 16xQAA.

The power consumption is off the charts and so is the price.

depressing. Grant it its only the 3rd month of 2K10 but it sux so far for hardware imop. Except the 980x. Just release some mac daddy shit already.

I don't see this being a green year at all and I'm sure ATI has been running hills since the cyprus release so hopefully we see some driver development and product developement continue from the red team.

WOnder if there's a new ati/nvidia kungfu youtube video out.

^silly kahuna^
Looks like 480sli is where I might spend some quality time. Gonna need to beam one of you guys up to help pour and keep the beasts fed.:shock:

i just saw 3d06 of monstru....10th in gpu ranking..thats crazy....

this card might be the weapon of choice...for 06

Hope you got a nuclear reactor running in your shed to power those beasties.

Amazing that a single 480 uses more power than 5870 crossfired DAMN

crossfired 5870? link please :D

http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/...0_sli_review/1 for the review


EDIT come to think of it.. that does not look quite right a single 5870 uses 50 more watts than a 5850? But a second 5870 only adds 50 watts? Either single 5870 wattage is wrong or the CFX is...

Hmm toms guide has an i7 oced to 4GHz, 6 gb ram etc etc running a single 5870 at 350W and 2 at 560! this one is wrong if 188W is the load rating of the 5870... but not very far off.. in efficient PSU could be issue...

EB Shows a stock i7 and 5870 at 270W load single card and 420W CFX

G3D says 376W just for the 2 cards (5870)... probably the most accurate... would should put it over a single 480 by about 80W

OMG those power curves are sex!!! this will be an ultimate test of best power supplies :D pardon my obsession of power supplies....

crossfire/sli has different effect versus single card runs...you won't see doubling power consumption..its normal...you'll always see an offset of cpu and other computer parts consumption in most curves...

but damn! 851w..........is that on a gulftown?

As the entire world knows, nVidia unveiled NV100 i.e. "Fermi" architecture on September 30, 2009. As it goes, nVidia's representatives were disclosing to press and analysts that the GeForce parts will see the light of day in November, Quadro to follow in April 2010 and Tesla launching in June, 2010. However, it took almost six months from Jen-Hsun's keynote for the first product to reach our hands, and it will take another two weeks to reach global markets
