Well, the rumour was anything from 5000 to 15000 (iirc?), so could be worse... Why are there so few of them for Europe?! Doesn't make much sense at all...Quote:

I guess i have fast fingers :D:yepp:
it poped up in newegg for a min and i got it :cool:
Good for you, I think a 480 at $500 is a fair deal. Anything higher, it's not.
Why does this thread live.

That product would make more sense than you think.Quote:

id say this thread is still here cause fermi still isnt here :D
i havent seen results from a single person who bought a gtx480 or gtx470... until that, ill continue to follow this thread :)
Truly a wonderful video card!Quote:

buying an extra 120mm fan along with a 480 "sounds" like a good idea :D
Try playing it from this link:Quote:

You are being slow my man. :D There are people who got their GTX480's already there's this guy at guru3d with a POV card and another here i think with Zotac. Look around, "the truth is out there".Quote:

Wow. When they said loud, I didn't think they meant That loud. Very disappointing. We now have to wait longer for ATI's refreshes and prices coming down.
It is pretty hot on open benches, it needs airflow that doesn't happen on a bench. Look at some vids of it in a case :up:Quote:

You guys are just bashing the noise without any first hand experience. It isn't that loud. You guys are just looking for stupid excuses to hate on a good product. Yes, the product isn't what it could have been, that doesn't mean hate on it because it's slightly noisier than the competition. Stop being so petty. Just because you don't like part of it, doesn't mean its a bad card or should be ignored. Stop being so immature and judge based on your own needs, and explain your needs and wants, instead of just bashing for the sake of bashing.
Not true:Quote:

GTX 480 vs 5870.
Dude. Open bench. Look at the results for the 480 as soon as it has airflow over the external heatplate.Quote:

Open bench temps should be lower than closed case temps, plenty more space for the hot air to remove itself.
Also, both cards were tested as open bench setups, so it is a fair comparison.
yes, its loud, yes the stock cooler is horrible, get over it... most "gamers" run so many crappy led fans you probably couldn't hear the card over them. Most guys really concerned with quiet will run aftermarket cooling anyways... With water the card hits around 50c in furmark with a low end water setup and using artic ceramique (dangerden videos) so i'm not so concerned, just very curious about the 200.xx drivers and if they will bring anything worthwhile to the table
Disagree. I use 7 such 1200 RPM fans and they are completely silent and inaudible. The only thing that makes any noise in my PC is exhaust fans on graphics cards running at high speeds. This is also why I always prefer aftermarket silent GPU coolers or buy my own, I just reattached my 5770 V1 coolers to match with the new motherboard I'm getting, but they are completely silent at stock speeds anyway.Quote:

In a standard PC with a stock intel CPU fan cranked at full and a low end power supply with cheap 120mm / 80mm fans, the graphics card will be the least annoying part in the PC.Quote:

I'm hoping to get hold of a 480 sometime next week and then i can comment on the sound first hand, tho as soon as the waterblocks come out the card will be put under water...
ive had some loud systems in the past, but i am a gamer so i put up with it, but after a while i got serious and decided to watercool the lot, all i have is PSU and 2 120 mm fans now.
my GTX 470 will be here tomorrow (fingers crossed) and i already have one of these lined up ;)
GTX 480 / 470 waterblocks
Wow you're talking like you actually owned one. The card is quieter than the HD4890 FYI.Quote:

Seriously, what a load of :ROTF:. You cant hear the HD 5000 series fans with the cards at stock settings inside any case. Someone said above that the 4890 fans were louder than the GTX 480 which they probably were, I wouldnt even have bought one of those, but wouldnt get so wound up over people complaining about its noise.Quote:

All that power makes for one seriously hot graphics card. Do not be fooled by the 97 degree load temperature. While this is the maximum temperature that we recorded, the fan was spinning so fast things started sliding across my desk towards the test system. The GeForce GTX 480 was truly deafening when running our full load test.
Letting the card sit at the Windows 7 desktop for 20 minutes after stress testing saw the temperature only drop to 65 degrees. When it came time to remove the GeForce GTX 480 from our test system I had to wear a pair of gloves to avoid any possible burns or dropping the extremely hot graphics card. The PCI Express power cables were amazingly soft from all the heat that had been thrown at them.
In short the GeForce GTX 480 is around 11% hotter than the Radeon HD 5870 under load and a whopping 71% or 27 degrees hotter at idle.
Even more :rofl: when you compare the GTX 480 to a pair of 5770s which cost £240, run silent, cool and consume much less power.
The 5870 doesnt need case air flow to operate at much lower temperatures and noise. The :ROTF: spewing out of your mouth is far greater than the bananas coming from mine.
I'd personally rather have a hotter gtx480 than two low end 5770 and have to deal with all the crossfire nightmares bugs and incompatibilities. I will never run sli /crossfire so dual cards and dual GPU cards are not something I care about. All the dual card headaches and microstutter just arent worth it...
That might just be you, but I've not had any problems at all using crossfire since the HD 3000 series.
Ive never seen any microstutter either.
I wouldn't.Quote:

You hardly get much more crossfire bugs/incompatibilities than you get bugs/incompatibilities with Nvidia or ATI drivers in general.Quote:

Look over at the EVGA forums, everyone who has one says it is quieter than a GTX280 and it also maxes out at ~85-90C furmark (retail cards have different fan curves in the BIOS).Quote:

For comparison: The fans running at 100& on my recent NV cards (8800GTS 640MB, 8800GTS 512MB, 9800GTX+, GTX260, GTX280, GTX295) were as loud as ATI`s fans running at 40-50% (X1950XTX,4870-ref., 4890-ref., 5870-ref). That was measured with my ears offcourse. :)
I would love to see a comparison test, with lets say a 4890/5870 and a GTX280/GTX480 and the fans on both cards running at 50%, 75%, 100% and see which fan pushes more air through the card.
the nvidia cards might be worse in crysis, but you can look at games like battleforge, that were specifically created for the 5000 series, and see that a gtx470 is as good or a little better than a 5870.
This post pretty much covers the fan noiseQuote:

"See post 2"
"How this translates into real world differences, again, you'll end up seeing the GTX 480 fan spins at a higher RPM at a similar % fan duty cycle compared to the 280. Up to ~80% there is very little difference in fan noise, but compared at 100%, the 480 is without a doubt louder with a higher pitch than the 280 fan.
You can see the difference in RPM clearly set at the same fan duty cycle % both set at 70%
280 = 2266RPM
480 = 3003RPM "
Higher RPM means more vibz he does add that around 70%-80% the GTX 480 noise lvl is similar to GTX 280 but then again GTX 280 was loud. It was GTX 285 that was easier on the ears.
In extrema tessellation bench 5770 CF min fps was better than 5870's just search my "Thread started"Quote:

Its very hard to say how it sounds like small fans are never a good idea, ATi did it with 2900 and it was bad... The need for higher RPM's is needed because GTX 480 is a hot card by nature "Nvidia said its meant to operate at high temps"
Is this all you guys have to troll each other over these days? Closed thread.
