It seems like nvidia is the easiest to bash these days. And who would pass up the opportunity to smash nvidia's big fat head in with a sledge hammer?
No one wants to get caught up in nvidia's mess, so my guess is nvidia supporters are just being quiet waiting for the moment to strike (ie when the fog clears and the truth is out).
Now you can express your honest opinion with none the wiser :)
if I can bench it, I'll buy it. Eff the fanboys.
Depends on the price/performance ratio.
I have to admit I was dead set on getting one but now after all the drama has unfolded; coupled with it looking more like June before Fermi has any serious non-price gouging volume. I am very seriously taking a look at waiting until Hectaconderes. I mean hell I might as well its just another 2 more months. :shakes:
For me it depends on the price and availability, there is an amount over which I which I am not interested in spending on it, and there are already ATI cards that have the cost and performance that I would desire. I do not doubt that the GTX4xx will be able to deliver good performance, but I do not know how that performance will compare in energy efficiency, idle power consumption, and cost. That being said some of the software I want to run has some graphical issues on ATI cards, so I am willing to pay more for a GTX4xx than an equivalently performing HD5xxx. What I am really interested in seeing is the dual GPU GTX4xx.
Anything over $200 is out of my budget.... so no.
I wonder how long it will take nvidia to launch the the mainstream models. Logical thing is obviously to wait it out.
The big surprise would be if they released it @ $300!
If the performance is good, and the price is appropriate yes.. otherwise im going to have to leave and go to Ati...
All up to price. I hope to see the GTX480 to be around 350. Though it seems it'll be 400+, If so I might wait for the "gtx495" which is supposed to be out a month later.
Either way i'm not in to big of a rush but with the GPU upgrade comes a CPU upgrade and a new case:) (Gulftown + 800d to replace my 965 and mountain mods case)
Yay for spending money....
Prices will be around U$s 680 for 480, and U$s 500 for 470. That's what GURU3D and digitimes are talking about. Regards
I would like to, though it would be quite some time after launch. $600-$700 for a GPU is simply too much for me.
when the 480 is for 400-500.
I'm getting one... for free :D
Second one ? Only if it's really good in benching or gaming.
Heh, gotta love the pre-launch video card hysteria.
I'd hope no one who picked option 1 is pre-ordering, buying sight unseen. Option 2 (wait and see) should be everyone's answer for every decision like this.
It is possible that I may be interested in a GT 4xx if they manage to get them to me before 5750 Green varriants become readily available.
As far as if I would consider a GTX 480, I would soo not make up my mind or even consider it before more details are available. This generation both the Green and Red teams are having failures simultaneously that make me doubt offerings from both parties like never before.
im using a 5870, but i need a nvidia card.....
too many games are too nvidia frendly.....
well if they fold better than my 285 and my 275 it will be worth gettting 2
been a die hard nvidia fan since i started this 10 years ago.was a serious ati hater for just as long .. then i bought a pair of lcs 5870 and have never been happier with a set of gpu in my life.nvidia can keep its constant setbacks and high release pricing.im sure it will be a fine gpu but when i game all day and my cards stay under 48 c i cant see why id ever go back to those hot nvidia cards.:down:
if they're not releasing in Q4 this year, i might think of it .... Ati is enticing me to get theirs
My gtx 280 failed after a year of mild gaming use, no overclocking... I am seriously thinking about switching to ATI, and ditching the nVidia bullsh*t for good.
I know the feeling, as I had issues with GTX 280 too :(Quote:

If not, I will wait for the refresh as for some reason ATi's 5970 does not inspire me (I guess the high price and lack of availability coupled with 1GB of usable VRAM is putting me off)

I made the wrong vote - I said wait and see. I'll definitely get one, even if it's ten years from now for some old skool benching ;)
There's no time constraint to the question :D
Agreed. On my next graphics refresh, I will probably get one; whether that be in two years or two weeks (and a day)Quote:

Maybe if I'll consider it if it comes out and dumps a load on a 5970 for less money. But from what has been said thus far about it, looks like a big pass.
