| 866717 | 2010-03-27 05:39:00 | Well now, the Fermi is out. :D The GTX 480 sure is a monster, but not as much as nVidia claimed it to be. Still, I'm just waiting a few months until Fermi production cranks up and second hand 5800 cards start flooding GP and trademe. Too bad for nVidia, they won't have my money. Last nVidia card I had was an 8800GT. |

| 866719 | 2010-03-27 20:27:00 | I think driver release will improve performance, however the card is a power hog with heat to go with it...Fermi II will be the card to get.. Least they have their crown back.....where it belonged.IMO |

| 866721 | 2010-03-27 21:00:00 | Br4 look at the benchies. the 470 and 480 have massive power consumption! Eevn the 470 uses more than a single 5870 LOL and the 5870 is much better You'd think based on the 40nm their power consumption would be as low as ati if not lower. |

You need to re-read the benchies, the 470 competes with the 5870 in alot of games and beats it in several...the power consumption is due to the bigger die size, so it was never going to be the same. The full 512 shader model isnt released yet and driver releases will only improve performance. However, I will probably never have a 30 inch LCD so would never need such a powerful card. Edit - Metro 2033, with new engine, the 5xxx are murdered! |

Edit - Metro 2033, with new engine, the 5xxx are murdered! They reduced to 320b lol to reduce the production cost, but its already $700 for the 470, and $1000NZD for the 480? I can't imagine the price of the 512mb model lol. I'm not sure what benchies you are looking at, but the GTX 480 SLI gets whooped by a single 5970 in most benchies. The 5970 is essentially 2 lwoer clocked 5870. So i would think 2x 5870 rapes the GTX 480. The 470 doesn't beat the 5870 at all. And Nvidias intent was not to beat it. Its about on par with the 5850, which is only $450-500NZD while the 470 is $700. The 5870 is also around $100 cheaper than the 470 and beats the crap out of it. Your benchies your looking at are pretty questionable tbh. And mehhh on the metro 2033 game tbh, its favoured by the nvidia architecture, and prob have extreme tesstelation support. lol |

| 866725 | 2010-03-28 00:26:00 | Well without cherry picking reviews (cause we could do that all week :P ), looks like the 480 is about 15% than the 5870. hardforum.com Most of the leaked benches and predictions were right on the money for once. And agree with above the 470 is most definitely slower the the 5870 accept in a few instances. The 470 is fractionally faster than the 5850 but that will not translate into a better gaming experience for the most part. |
