  • yo people out there stop talking about wattages.. you got no money thats your problem! stupid newbs go buy voodoo 1 than

    GTX 480 is the fastest single card.. i got 1000 w so what the fuck to worry about? the only thing about to worry about is 6970.. because than its time to sell the gtx 480 :)

    seriously compaining about watts ... just go get a life or complain about gas

  • 'fermi, overhyped and failed

  • the gtx 470 is known to consume alot of power, but how much would my bill increase in a year (average/estimation)?

    I have a gts 250 sli right now.

  • @the5creename I'm not sure. I think a 250's watt consumption at max load is around 300w. So two would be around 600w. A 470 consumes around 450w at max load. This is based on the benchmarks I've seen. I could be wrong.

  • thank you. I think i ll stick to my gts 250 sli since i will not play any games during school time.

  • @Wewk1337 A GTX 470 consumes around 225w or so at load and a 480 is a but higher.

    You can run an i7 system with 2X GTX 470's on a 600w PSU if you wanted to.

  • i dunno how people give 500 euros for the new gtx 480...It has almost the same performance as Hd5870 and gtx 480 is much more expensive ...More 120-150 euros than HD 5870...Gtx 480 consume a lot, gets very hot, and its and is half a year delayed in relation to ati...So its bether if you guys that wanna buy a graphic card wait till the new ati cards came out...Or buy the HD 5850, 5870, or 5970

  • @TheSoukz

    So true man, i saw a benchmark of the GTX 470 vs HD 5850 and there was 10-11 fps difference in Modern Warfare 2 at 1920x1200 resolution and the hd 5850 is 200-220 euro, i mean at least 120 bucks cheaper and has better performance. Nvidia wake up !!!

  • @TheSoukz get a 5970 they are the shit.

  • @TheSoukz First it beats the 5870 in direct x 11 and tesselation by far. Second It dosen't get hot at all.... Mines 43 celsus at idle an from 60-85 celsus on full load. Third the 5970 is better but cost another 200-300 bucks more so of course it would be better.

  • u should play on dx11. and turn the aa down to like 4x

  • the size of the cooler is a joke, it wouldnt even keep a 8800 gtx cool

  • Yes Fermy is the "best" = Suck : Extreme Hot... Big power consum..... extreme hight price and ATI Radeon is still the King :) 6 Mounts for nothing.... and nice to see on Forums abouth 70% Nvidia Fan to say Bye Bye fermy we go to ATI Radeon 5000 Series :)

  • @bubrockit it's $250 less than 5970 . And obviously if u have money to buy this card you will watercool it dumb as so stop postin it's 90c cuz it won't be when it's watercooled

  • @mikey9890 watercooling kit is expensive. In that case you would just go with 5970 on air and get better FPS. No watercooling / headaches needed. Bai.

  • @ManoKiaule well id rather have a graphics card thats better for the next generation of games (dx11) then have the ati cards that arent that great at it, like in metro 2033. Thats a game that the 480 and 470 really show there true power. with the tesselation and all the dx11. it outperforms the 5870 and 5970 in games lke that. so id rather have a card thats newer and more future proof. And ive never had a problem with nvidia or ati.

  • @mikey9890

    True power? Also it shows a lot of watt usage, 95C degrees in full load which is...... and all this for what price??? the GTX 470 is a joke at that price, it's even worse than a HD 5850 in a benchmarking.

  • @ManoKiaule but i find that nvidia cards have more effects and what not. like cuda, phsyx, 3d vision surround. so yeah thats y i stick with nvidia. and i have nvidia and ati machines

  • you could Cook eggs on this graphics card, and Power a City

  • will gtx 480 work good on FLIGHT SIMULATOR X ? or at least better then GTX 295 ?

  • @blackmambalim fsx is cpu bound!graphics cards wont make a difference really...you ideally need a 256 core machine!ace studios closed now so keep your copy and in the future the cores may be there...maybe onlive will have a copy of fsx if enough of us ask them...youtube onlive if you dont know what it is

  • @blackmambalim flight simulator is like ocmpletely processor based you idiot

  • @Zohaib1 scum bag ! shut your pie hole

  • @blackmambalim well it's true

  • @Zohaib1 ....... are you REALLY saying that FSX doesnt use the GPU at all?

  • @eaglenv i dunno lol, i was jking probably look it up but i think its alot more to do with processing power rather than the GPU

  • @Zohaib1 are you serious? games are running mostly off GPU so the CPU is free to do other stuff

  • @Venddenta that mostly depends on what kind of game and what settings youre at

  • Comment removed

  • just came out a few hours ago!

  • Costs more than a 5970, takes up more power than the 5970, less scores on benchmarks than the 5970.

    Runs at 90C, limit before damage is 105C.

    Jesus Nvidia...

  • @bubrockit .....dont compare single GPU's to Dual GPU's. And costs more???? GTX 480's preorders Newegg $499. ATI 5970's $699+. Limit b4 damage.....dude.....shut up.....dont post if you dont know what your talking about.

  • the 480 is 1200£ where the hell did you get that from.

  • 0:10 Hahahahha

  • i heard 4 is an unlucky number.... watch out guys

  • nvida = fail. Ati is the king again.

  • bad thing of ati's is that theres to many bugs in there software.i now and the get the blue screen ever since i put 2 5850's in my pc.

  • I think your system is just faulty. Been running 5870's in crossfire and no problem at all.

  • ATI Fails.

    The 5970 starts to die down after like 2 months idiot.

  • ATi Is far better than nvidia and thats how it will go if nvidia keep being retards.

    Yeah this make a card where you need an 800wat psu costs £1200 and is extremely noisy with a retarted delta fan and will barely outperform a 5870 yeah sounds great

  • typical fan boy if you were smart. you'd know

    none of ATi's cards are good until the new 5870.

    so seriasly.. stfu all nVIDIA cards are good.

    ATi is worthless because all of them are just for show. the same with AlienWare

  • @darknesh99 thats completly untrue ati and nvidia trade off generations lol. obviously you've never herd of the 9800 pro lol. or the 3xxx series. its really no big deal. to me i wouldn't wanna water cool my system as its a freaking hassle to replace the fluid monthly. besides why do i need to spend an extra 100 bucks to cool a card when the stock fan should at least keep it 50c idle lol

  • @S1lverspike You don't know anything about liquid cooling, that much is apparent. Liquid cooling does not require much maintenance except once every few years. As for PhyX, its quite beneficial when used in certain applications and games. It largely offsets the tasks and resources that would otherwise be keeping the CPU busy thus giving the CPU more opportunity to handle other tasks with its freed up resources.

  • haha another delay until April 6th .

    To Nvidia: this project gotta be the worst managed project in the company's history !!

    sadly while you guys are playing catch up with ATI , they are already working on their next gen gpu.

  • dude , i belive ati stole lots of Nvidia Ideas , still not sure , but that is illegal

  • @CobraGMW2 no clue what rubbish you're trying to say about stolen ideas. what it really comes down to is that ATI is back at the top for the past year and a half since they released the high end 4 series card based on bang for the buck comparison. and again they are on top. so lets how things go.

  • @CobraGMW2 so did vw with opel parts. further a lil trickin of making vw appear delicious in times when banks have no more paper to lend and schwupps! they own "porsch".

    both "nazi" companies anyway!

  • I don't even think of Radeon as power efficient anymore... they lost it when they made the 5000 line.

    I used to like Nvidia for their Enthusiast GPU's.. and Radeon for its Mid range GPU's. but now the companies are switching roles.

  • all i've gathered from reading these first 10 comments is that you are retarded, nomad2234.

    reviews show the 5670 consistently beating (albeit only slightly) the gt 240, and using less power.

    ati are clearly overstating the required wattage psu to cover their ass for people who try to run their cards on horrible psu's.

    not to mention the gtx480 will be a hot running, power hungry piece of 6 month late silicon, that won't produce a much better result than the hd5870.

  • the 5650 requires a 400 watt or higher power supply. the 5670 requires a 450 watt power supply or greater...

    you can't really compre a 5670 to a GT 240. 5670 uses requirs a 150 watt higher power suply and is closer in performance to a 9800 GT.. or a GTX 260m wich can just barely play Crysis on Very High.

    show me one card by Radeon that uses a 300 watt power suply and is better then the GT 240 wich is about 30% worse then a 9800 GT.. so you can play Crysis on High to very High on GT 240.

  • The Radeon 5670 requires a 400 watt power supply vs the GT 340 and the new GT 240 which require a 300 Watt power supply.

    Radeon is more Power hungry then Nvidia these days. Nvidia actualy has way better mid range cards.

    and Nvidia will soon have the best Enthusiast cards out... so Radeon just fails.

  • you mom failed

  • nvidia may not ever have something that beats ati , u can put a 5670 with 300W and work just fine but ati says more just to be sure that u get something with actually 300W a 400W psu will not be 80+

  • thats bull shit the minimal power requirement is all you can do. I have tried putting a Card that requires a higher Wattage and my computer shut down with thin a few minutes to save itself.

    I have a 300 watt power suply... it was either get a GT 240 and play Crysis on High.. or get a Radeon card that plays it on Medium and is still laggy... hmmm this is a hard one...

    Nvidia also made a new version of the 9600 GT that only needs a 300 watt power supply.

    they made all of their old cards better

  • Nvidia are screwed with this series. The GTX480 is just too hot and too power hungry at a TDP of 295watts. This makes a dual Fermi card an impossibility because they cannot make a card that goes over 300watts at stock settings and there isn't very much room left for more powerful versions of the cards

  • Actuly the GT 300 line cards all have more Proccesing cores and require less power then the GT 200 line. they are a lot better. also the GT 300 line has DDR 5 and as far as DX 11 that is completely pointless to have. there is only one game in the world that has DX 11. and there are no Operating systems that have DX 11.

    and the GT 340 can Handle Crysis on High flawlessly. I highly doubt a Radeon Card that requires a 300 watt power supply could do that.

    GT 340 is 2x as powerful as 9600 GT.

  • @Nomad2243

    go to the nvidia page and compare the gt340 to the gt240

    they're 100% identical from the amount of cores till the frequency and the minimum power requierment is the same

    and the max powerconsumption of the gt340 is 69W(only gpu). the 5670 has 61W

    and it's not 2X as powerfull as a 9600gt

    they're on the same level.

    the gt240/340 is max 10% faster the only good thing is the reduced power consumption from 96 to 69watt "no Operating systems that have DX 11"

    are you completly retarded?

    Yes, it will get this name!

  • wow ur silly enough to make your youtube name GTX-fail-Seventy lmaoooooooooo . you youtube kids are something else.

  • I am very Impressed with Nvidias GT 300 line. all the GT 300 line cards only require a 300 Watt power supply. and they can have up to 96 cores making them out perform Radeons Mid Rand cards that require a 300 watt power supply by 2x.

    you may not think power effiecent when you think Nvidia. but the GT 300 line is a really good buy. Radeon has nothing to compete with the GT 300 line.

  • @Nomad2243

    the gt 300 line is 100% identical to the gt 200 line.

    those cards are exactly the same just with a new name

    and they suck

    the gt340 is a fast as a 9600gt

    and amd has enough cards to compete with the gt 300 line

    a hd 5670 costs as much as a gt240(gt 340) while it's 15% faster + sm5 and dx11 support at the same power requirement

    and beside that the gt300 line is OEM so you will only get those cards if you buy a 1000€ alienware pc or other overprice bullshit

  • Fermi has a 20% clock rate miss...

    It's hot buggy and unfixable...

  • Correction Fermi has more than 20% better performance over ati 5870.Go get yourself a real gpu the gtx480. Nvidia > ati

  • how do u know that for sure

  • If a gpu isn't hot there something fucking wrong with it mate

  • I always hear the ATI drivers are a bit bugy

  • ATI lacks in being able to release decent drivers for the simple fact theres so much hardware out there its hard to make it run across all platforms of videocards and the amount of combinations of hardware to have could make a conflict. Sadly this is why they were hated for the longest time, they're finally bringing some competition back though.

  • ATI has now many cards and Nvidia only 2.

    ATi is a head!

  • its a quantity its quality :)

  • and there is the Geforce 300 Series which will replace hte low - mid range geforce 200 series card and the geforce 400 series to replace the high end geforce 200 cards.

  • @Voikanaa

    no offence but in my oppinion ati is a headACHE

    and it's not about the ammount of cards they have, it's about the performence of the cards.

  • @Voikanaa

    haha... with ATI all of which are retarded as fuck. Read up on the complaints to do with games as old as World at War. Problems which where inherent in that are still problems in Battlefield bad company 2. At least Nvidia take time with their release... and they make sure it works.

  • @prettylittleditty89 ati has problems with bad company 2 because dice will not make the games shaders compatible with ati cards. dont got shit to do with the cards actually just monopolization

  • @S1lverspike I have a 4890 And play on highest settings with 60FPS

    DX10.1 tho

  • nvidia 196.75 driver fried my 9800GTX+

    I will never buy nvidia again.

  • @theneongray haha what the fuck.. this can happen with every card nothing to do with nvidia..

  • Read up before you talk. Nvidias 196.75 drivers were faulty and burned up video cards for many people. There are tons of complains and posts on forums... go take a look at it. Oh and major tech sites have already covered this. So dont insult the guy who wrote the original comment if you are clueless...

  • @ManoKiaule yeah so it is a problem, does this tell it can only happen with nvidia?

  • @ManoKiaule

    lol... my 4870x2 damed near burnt itself up when I first got it. Some of the complaints I read for Nvidia where temps as high as 90 with a failed fan. My 4870x2 nearly peaked 100 celcius with its excuse for a stock fan. And if you could imagine what would be worse... a driver mistake or card released after it being known to get hot.

  • cool story bro. Maybe you got a dud or something. Or maybe it was rated for those temps. Keywoards in your post are "damned near burnt itself up"... Well guess what .. these people cards DID burn up. Not "damn near". They DID. so gtfo clown.

  • Nah the first one I got was a dud... ATI took a month just to tell me what I already knew... that it was a dud... then they forgot about me. 3 months later I called up(again) and what the store did was replace it for me seeing as ATI did nothing. Like them and their driver issues. All I am saying is at least Nvidia are far more reliable then ATI; they fucked up... get over it. What ATI can bring out to retail sometimes are fuck ups on their own.

  • @prettylittleditty89 You act like thats how ATI operates for all products sold. You had a bad experience, but there are plenty of people who dont. And the other way around... some people have terri-bad experiences with Nvidia, and good with ATI. It just depends on your other hardware, and what your specific set up is. Any company can fuck up... i agree.

  • Even yourself in a previous comment suggested how unreliable ATI are when it comes to Drivers. Now seeing as there are new products, new softwares, new games everyday I would think dodgy drivers would be reason enough to snub out ATI. Problems inherent in COD world at war & MW1 seemed to made its way to the latest battlefield game. Assuming I haven never had an ATI or Nvidia card; Now if they could not even get through that.. then why would anyone, in their right mind, choose an ATI card?

  • @prettylittleditty89 that is your opinion. There is a million reasons to snub out Nvidia instead of ATI. ATI had terribad drivers, they are better now, but still not perfect. Nvidia on the other hand is deceptive and rebrands old parts. LAME. lies to the very customer that trusts them. Proprietary policies like Physx which hurts PC gaming instead of helping it.. Great. We can all be consolefags soon.

  • can you explain how Physx hurts gaming please?

  • @NickBlackDIN If Physx was open source and ATI could use it, then a lot more developers would include it in their games ! And not just for trivial Graphics effects like it is used for now, but for actual gameplay... shocking i know. This in turn would make PC gaming have games that simply could not be run on consoles... They would be too weak for Physx effects. And because more games would feature it, PC gaming would have an Edge over consolefags.

  • it will be soon enough, Nvidia just want's the first slice of the cake, I'm already starting to prgram in it and I love it. so I don't think it's something that's just gonna die out. just my opinion though.

  • @NickBlackDIN In the mean time we will just see more and more people switch to console gaming, and in turn more AAA titles will be release for consoles. Sounds awesome right?

  • NOoo!! that's horrid!! Console's are fine for some games, but personally PC still kicks butt in most of the ganera's. (with the acception of the Wii)

  • @NickBlackDIN If AMD's open physics initiative takes off, Physx = dead. Because if you are a dev, which you program a game that will only work on 1 company's cards, or on all cards? Which one will reach more people? Its a no brainer.. And then hopefully we will see some console people switch back to PC, and better titles for PC that are not just CONSOLE ports... frustrating as hell.

  • @prettylittleditty89 oh and btw a lot of nvidia users say that image quality improves after switching to ATI. So yeah... And for drivers clearly YMMV for whatever company you go with. There is also a difference between a bad driver that wont play your game, and a bad driver that will destroy your 400$ + hardware.

  • Because of a fucking driver issue you will never buy Nvidia again?

    You are... unbelieable stupid.

    I know the driver fried your card, and that's sad. But that's not a reason to boycot the best shit on the market? :)

    And now Nvidia is aware of that type of fails. It could happen to ATi as well.

  • @sonsofHateSphere nvidia isnt the "best shit on the market" at the moment. And if their drivers are starting to suck like ATI's then there is no reason to buy then anymore.

  • This is the first time this happened, and Nvidia called back the driver emidiately, and e-mailed everyone (who signed up for Nvidia newsletter) about the recall, the issue, and what to do.

    Some GTX470 benchies are around, and it's neck to neck with HD5870. Actually beats HD5870 in some games.

    Shame on you, man. Shame on you. Let's see who lost the game.

  • @SonsOfHateSphere You are joking right? 1) No independent reviews out. Get that into your head. 2) Even if it is faster. Id doesnt exist if you cant buy it. Which you wont be able to for 2-3 months at the least. Yes it will be released , but expect availability to be 0. An imaginary product cant beat what is sitting in peoples computers from late 2009... 3) Yes drivers recalled. AFTER lots of cards are burned. Awesome? Shame on you for being a tool...

  • No joking. 1) you're right, they may be fake, though there ARE someone out there who got a Fermi in their hands. But from the unofficail (maybe fake) benchmark, the HD5870 has an avg fps of 31, and 470 of 40 fps. Sounds promising, from what else we've heard. 2) March 26th. Only 15 days left, not months. I believe Fermi will release in March, since we got pics of Fermi boxes from EVGA, Galaxy and Gigabyte. Sounds like a release near the corner.

  • @SonsOf 1) i dont know what you are smoking, but even the LEAKED benchmarks show GTX 480 only 5% faster than the 5870. Oh yeah and its coming HALF A YEAR late, in extremely limited quantities.

    2) Burned cards are a huge Fuck up! And bumpgate was a huge fuck up too! My friend lost his 8800 mobile card, and NV did nothing to make it right. And please dont spread 5xxx series drivers bs. Provide some NUMBERS if you want to bring up stuff like that. OR do we need to talk about NV Vista drivers?

  • I don't know if you're a brainwashed AMD slave from Charlies KZ-camp, but one thing is for sure; what you're saying is obvious from the most infected ATi forums out there on the internet.

  • @SonsOfHateSphere lmfao. When nothing to say pull fanboy card. I have had 4 NV cards and 0 ATI. So you can gtfo now.

  • Well, that's more Nvidia cards that I've owned, and now you're leaving 'em? Jesus, man.

  • @SonsOfHateSphere honestly man... they lost me when they refused to stand behind their product. Every company has fuck ups, no one says anything... but at least make it right. bumpgate was lame... No one wants take responsibility. Not OEM, not Nvidia, so the customer pays. Even the damn PS3 in my house has an NV card... But being brand loyal is really stupid as i have come to see recently... So yeah from now on the best company gets my money.

  • @SonsOfHateSphere in case you were wondering, i have 2 laptops with 8600M GT, 1 desktop with 9800 GT, my PS3 obviously has NV graphics, and the last laptop i had had a 6600 GO. SO i guess its actually 5 cards rather than 4. But you get the idea.

  • LOL! That was not inspected :P Well, but I can say as much, that I've only had 2 Nvidia cards, 8500GT and GTX295 (that I still have), and that I don't miss my old ATi-days. After Radeon X1600, I gave up.

  • @SonsOfHateSphere I never had ATI, but im really digging the idea of Eyefinity. I wont be building a rig till 2011 so i guess we will see who will have the best card on the market then hehe. I will give ATI first consideration, b/c NV has been acting like assholes, but if NV chip is much better and offers decent price/performance i will buy it. So we will see how it goes. btw the 295 is a great set up, gaming must be awesome on that.

  • It is! i7 and GTX295 is a dreaming set up ;)

    But your going to need a card to replace your 9800? And btw, Eyefinity is for people who need more than a 3 screens display. I'd also like to know why Nvidia has been acting like assholes, cause for me, it seems that Nvidia keep 'emselfs out of troubles.

  • @SonsOfHateSphere Yeah im planning to get my gf to buy me an extra monitor or two :D. But wont happen for a while like i said as the 9800GT is still pretty much doing its job. :P

  • So your 9800 survived the damn driver, anyway? Nevermind, I don't got a problem if you're going to buy ATi. But I have a problem when people ditches Nvidia for fake romours, and "over-priced products". Yeees, you pay more $ per fps with Nvidia, but then you miss the good stuff like CUDA, PhysX (don't mention hacked ATi drivers), Flash Player 10.1, and what else they're making to the GPU instead of the good 'ol CPU.

    Make your choice, for your needs, man. You're a good guy, after all ;)

  • Yes my 9800GT dodged the bullet. The temps were hot, but no damage, i think we caught it just in time. (me and my bro share the PC). Anyway... Deus Ex 3 is coming out... eagerly waiting for it now..

  • lol btw i guess its not appropriate to say im an AMD slave, because i have never owned their hardware !!! lol....

  • @ManoKiaule Yeah, sorry for that one. Some of that info you brought to the discussion is typically legit info from semiaccurate(dot)com, better know as the Nvidia hater, Charlie. For God sake don't trust that man! He's real propaganda, and a pain in the ass.

  • @SonsOfHateSphere honestly physx is a scam to get ppl to buy another high priced card as it really doesnt inhance the game much more than havok (which is much more popular btw) also the 480 had to have its magnificient cuda stream gpus clocked down from 512 to 480 just to get the damn thing not to melt. you tell me what went wrong with this card. it could have been so much better but the sad fact is its not

  • 3) I feel sorry for those who lost their cards because of an update. Though, only A FEW cards burned. Now, Nvidia are aware of a failure like that, so don't expect it will happen again.

    Don't get bitchy and hate Nvidia. I know you're upset, but shit happens for ATi as well. There're more people who has nothing else but trouble with their brand new HD5000, than suffered from Nvidia's 196.75.

    Stop acting like a 13 year old.

  • i think they should change all that shit fermi, cuda, physx and bla bla bla bollocks and try to refresh the world of graphics with something like nvidia Voodoo 480 :P

  • This reminds me of the GeForce 2, 3 and 4 series cards with and without the Ti designation where the numbers were mixed up even worse.

  • blablablablaaaa

  • It was announced ages ago that the 300 series is DX10.1 and the 400 series is DX11.

  • To bad ATI will come out with the 5890 to compete and then the 6000 series cards soon, and they've got most of the market. They beat Nvidia this time.

  • Buddy your comparing two different generations of cards...

  • Hello there, I would like to say that the G300 name is used even before the G200 series. It have been existing on a few laptops for a very long time. That is the reason why we will not get any news of anything named GTX300. I'm suggesting you to check it out yourself, because i'm not able to tell everything.

  • @SpencerKos Lol

  • i could buy 5 gtx 260's here for that much

  • want to pick me up a few?

  • @ELPRESADORi

    serously. just wait a couple of months for the price to drop by 40%, like it always does.

  • dam.. 680 dollars =/ thats more than my whole rig..including the monitor..

  • so when is it coming out? i wanna buy it =]

  • march 26

  • Prices are from $300 for the little one, to $680 for the big daddy.

  • @ELPRESADORi There's my specs and it dosent really lag for me. Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz (4 CPUs). Memory: 4GB RAM Hard Drive: 1 TB Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 Motherboard: ASRock P43DE Intel P43+ICH10 chipsets
  • wat settings u running crysis at

  • @ELPRESADORi, Highest on all. on a 1338 by 768 resulution with no AA

  • Just get a second. You have a monster CPU, so there's no bottleneck into that.

  • they say the were going to realse them this month but they keep pushing back i guess Nvida really is crap

  • im wasted 2 minutes of my life watching this steaming pile of retarded horse shit.

  • You just wasted another minute writing this comment, i'd suggest finding a better hobby!

  • ive tried Badaboom (CUDA application for video encoding), , i was getting 130FPS with 8800GTS, if the future nvidia cards gurantee 500+ frames, ill start saving and probly will buy one.

  • Good thing i never bot my new setup yet. I was going to go for :

    core i7 860

    GIGABYTE GAP55A Motherboard

    SILVERSTONE 850 Watt PSU

    XFX HD Radeon 5850 (Cypress Pro) 2x Crossfire

    G.SKILL Ripjaw RAM 8 GIGs.

    I myse well wait until the new GTX cards come out and see what kind of price they are asking for...

  • Good choice, i would wait and see too :)

  • Now that's what I call reporting. Well done. 5/5.

  • from 200 series they jumped to 400?

  • they jump maybe, because first version fails totaly

  • Creative did that with their Audigy 2 to 4 series. I'm guessing their rebranded GeForce 200 under the guise of 300's were to sate some kind of justification on their part.

    I'm guessing this move was done because the 400 are lacking, makes sense really in terms of marketing, as most people will see this and go 'WHOA 400 series out NOW?!'

  • Thats not the model numbers thats the price. lol

  • With regards to the model numbers you may remember back in December Nvidia launched a low end Geforce 300 series card (GF 310) however that's only DX10.1 not DX11.

    To avoid a misunderstanding I reckon Nvidia want all of their DX11 compatible cards to have their own number range.

    If you remember back in the Ti4200 days there was confusion about what cards could handle the latest DirectX, it looks like Nvidia have learnt their lesson and don't want to repeat that mistake.

  • It seems you are right and the 300 series are for dx 10.1 and 400 will be dx11. Completely agree back with the TI 4200, i do remember a lot of confusion and people ended up buying the wrong cards to what they actually wanted/needed.

  • CONDOM!!

  • Too bad ATI just gobbled up the market share for the next few quarters.

  • You HAD to make a video for this?

  • Didn't have to, but wanted to.

  • I hear that the GTX 270 will be a more affordable card, but how do you think that will compare to the GTX 280 ? Is it worth waiting or should I just go for the GTX 280 ? NOTE: I am not in a rush.

  • Personally i would wait to see the new cards come out, as i believe they will be quite expensive so we should see the older generation cards drop in price.

  • Whoops ok never mind I see they have had previous fun facts of the week... doh!!

  • Do they usually give these "fun fact for the weeks"? Maybe they are going to give out info week by week to create hype. Like next week give out official specs. The following week maybe a bench. The week after that some price points. Until the card is officially released. Maybe?

  • 400 to 800 hopefully over 1000 i won't be getting it

  • Nvidia: "The way its meant to be renamed" =P

  • lol

  • The 300 series is using old coding, it doesn't use Fermi, I believe. The 400 series will be using their new architecture, the 300 series, will not.

    Of course, I'm not 100% sure of this, but I've read a good bit about it.

  • GTX 470 for 200 dollars please lol...

  • Triple that. There's your price :D

  • I would assume Nvidia will use the 300's by rebranding some 200 series and/or maybe using lower end versions of the fermi GPU.

  • I'd say it would be the second one.

  • Good video response.

    I can't wait to get one of these cards, the problem is what do i do with my left over 5870? hmm..

  • Sell it, as this is going to be an expensive card, you're going to need all the money you can get.
