the first tests is JUST cpu/system related.. so.. run GT3 and GT4, thats gpu limited up to 170FPS ish with a i7 at 4.2Ghz.. ;)Quote:

On the other hand, it seems they are little tensions between Theo and nVidia last days ...Quote:
Also, we received news about targeted prices for the parts, and they look quite competitive against six-month old ATI 5800 Series: according to the benchmarks leaked some time ago, GeForce GTX 470 will beat out HD 5850 and in some cases, even HD 5870 - for the price of HD 5850 - we were told that the ballpark figure is $299-349, while GTX 480 will run between $449-499.
I SO hope those will be the prices. That means ATi will drop their prices and then that's when we pounce on the cards :yepp::yepp:Quote:

NDA still 26th, availability 6 April

Last few days the Internet was flooded with a bunch of pictures of GTX 480/470 boxes but you should know that although partners have made those, they are still empty.
I don't understand. Don't the partners actually put the GPUs on the boards? So Nvidia ships partners not the GPUs but complete boards? So what do those partners actually do?
Let's goQuote:

And now 5970 @ 850/1200 and AA 4x/AF 16x

That depends on the partner, not all have the logistics to actually make a PCB. In fact, most of them don't.Quote:

Sort of Gemini stuffs ??? :DQuote:

why are they hiding all the infos in gpuz? sounds like its from the same guys who spread the previous fake gpuz shot of fermi... ;)Quote:

when a new highend and mainstream card is launched, its always nvidia ref design and partners only put on a sticker, flash the bios, and then bundle different cables and games in a shiny box.Quote:

low end cards are usually all designed by partners to cut as many corners as possible or to give the partners room to diversify, ie make a beefier highend card and a very cheap lowend card...
in this case partners usually buy sets from nvidia. its uncommon to buy gpus only these days, its usually sets of memory and gpus, and they are sold in bundles pretty much.
afaik ati does it the same way... so, those scores of a 480 are actually real from what i can tell, at least the gpuz shot is real... so what do those numbers look like?
Well, it's quad pumped and 384-bit rather than 256-bit on the 5870.Quote:

While, I won't say that you are wrong, because I agree that I think the top Nvidia card will be more expensive, if you noticed, there were a few of the "leaks" that suggested that there may be a 480 ultra card, and if that card does really exist, that is where I expect the super premium to be.Quote:
