GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 specs finally exposed

$499 US for a 480... after currency conversion and re-sellers adding their mark up, plus the initial supply will outweigh demand - that equates to ouch in AUS dollars.

true but you can pack all you want into a card..... how it will preform is a different thing

Exactly, ATI have proved that enough times

Just throwing it out there, I'm not just taking a jab at ATI, I mean it in the way of what Intel did with the Pentium 4 and just kept ramping up the speed of it thinking that'll make it better.

hm.... we'll see even then if it is a little faster than the 5870..... it took them six extra months to get there

Even if it turns out to be a hot, noisy, over priced power hungry SOB - if it's faster than a 5870, then that's all that will really count.

Once the 470 / 480 are widely available - 6 months will not only be irrelevant, but easily forgiven.

I'm just glad that there's a light at the end of this speculation tunnel.

Hell, I'm already impatient to see what's in store for the inevitable revisions and newer models from both camps...

It's still not as bad as what was predicted. Places were saying $600+ for the 480 last month. The 470 has a nice price, though. Depending whats what next month, the 470 will probably be the one I'll go for, then add a second one later in the year.

hm.... don't count your chickens till they've hatched

If you don't like Nvidia, why do you just keep coming in every Nvidia thread with one liners like that?

wow that looks like it will be a large video card...I don't know if I would be able to fit in my case

That's one of the other reasons I'm going for the 470 apart from price. It looks considerably smaller and I don't want to risk getting a 480 only to have it not fit lol.
