yeah, they look sweet... compared to 1 year old AMD products.
the conclusion has to be made after 6900s come out.

He isn't wrong yet, is suppose to be a hard lunch today and i have yet to see any cards online for sale, and he's right on the mark about the performance numbers, just word it as a hater as usual.Quote:

what the.. did u stick an TW extreme 120 on that 580? thats nuts lol 1050mhz bravo!
Looking good nvidia, 5970 will be a difficult choice now. This is a major step in the right direction by nvidia, not being late to the market is going to increase a lot of their share in DX11 now.
Here you go what company to you want to buy!Quote:

We've had far worse initial launches, I think we can all agree.
Great compilation, thanks.
I quite liked Anand's review, as usually. Very detailed arch info. I like what Nvidia is doing. They are paying attention to all aspects this time.
It might not be a perfect product, but it does look a lot more appealing than GTX480 at the time of its launch.
Looking forward to more OCing info. Hopefully it will deliver.
As I said days ago. He was dead wrong. Actually, it was him that was "spinning".Quote:

Next up: a post by Charlie saying "they're in stock because they aren't popular!". :ROTF:
But of course. What else is he going to say? He has egg on his face this time. :DQuote:

Hey look, it's the GTX 485 :D
It's probably because I haven't followed the pre-launch news but I thought it was gonna be a new architecture with much improved performance, not just a "fixed" 480. Oh well.
double post
So if I were to guess the:
-570 will be the 480
-560 will be the 470
However, I've not read any announcements on a 570 or 560 as of yet.
It is all about marketing. Nvidia wants to roll out to catch up with AMD. AMD has the bigger number and is proved that people go for the bigger number.Quote:

I don't understand all this outrage over naming. AMD just put out a 6800 series with less performance than its 5800s, and Nvidia is somehow wrong to give a next generation number to something that offers 15-20% better performance while consuming fewer watts and making a lot less noise? Bull.Quote:

If Anyone's Interested... we've got a review too.

Alien Babeltech made a good review too, with GTX 480 and GTX 580 at the same speed 850/1700 :up:
That would be true if there wasn't a 69xx genQuote:

Now its AMD's turn, one thing for sure its great to see two companies being so competitive against each other. If only AMD could do this on the CPU front.
Sure!Quote:

i do agree with the people that are a little disappointed with this card. it is slightly quieter, cooler, and a good bit faster but the $500 + price point is just too hard to swallow. hopefully the launch of the 6970 will bring prices down. im waiting for this time next year when the 28nm next gen gpus should be coming out.that will be the time to upgrade for me :D
