GTX 485 Release date?

Nothing has been announced properly yet for it.

Which is why google failed to give any hits.

Just speculating, but I'd expect to see it around the time AMD release their 68xx series.

That's if they even release a card by that number.

Mr Smarteyeball you don't know how much you are right lol I been trying to hunt down info on the hd6700 through 6800 series no one knows anything and all we can hope is round Nov and 6800 round march of 2011

I want to sell my 5770 for 150.00 paid 220.00 when it came out i think a decent sell and spend some 300.00 making my budget 450.00 if i score any series probally a high end 6700 i doubt 450.00 will get me a 6800

anyhow I wish they would hurry up this is my xmas present to myself plus im looking into a new tower

I'd settle for a new tower for xmas and an IOU for later :)

For pricing, I suspect that that the high end 67xx/68xx cards will be similar to what the 57xx/58xx were at launch. Possibly a little higher, with price cuts to the 57xx/58xx range.

However, there shouldn't be as big of a repeat of availability issues since the 40nm manufacturing process has been sorted and this series is basically a 'refresh'.

so what your saying i could get a 6800 for the price of the 5800 maybe like a 5850 model be a 6850?

Potentially, yes. But just like availability, pricing is also yet to be determined.
