That GTX 480 Vantage run was done with PhysX enabled. If PhysX was disabled it would be well behind the 5870 runs(unless I'm estimating the score wrong).

^how do you know it was with PhysX enabled ?
probably not 6, but a few im sure.Quote:

that said, i believe that this card even though is a new architecture, does not have that much of an increase over the old one. 3870-4870 was great, this i dont think comes even close to that kind of a jump.
I don't think it would be possible for them to validate the card without in house drivers so I would imagine the driver team has had plenty of time up till now. However once the cards start shipping in qty and the end users start utilizing them there are bound to be issues that didn't happen in the labs.Quote:

Wether PhysX is used or not doesn't effect the base GPU score and that is the only thing people should be comparing. Comparing CPU scores mean :banana::banana::banana::banana: all. Yes it effects the total but not as much as people think. I still insist that people only look at the gpu score when comparing ( for non benching purposes; eg comparing gpus, not identical configs ) and not total as it is misleading none the less.Quote:

Bleh, was hoping for a bit better result for the GTX470, I guess I'll see for sure in reviews but might be ponying up for a 480 if those scores are on-target.
This name is even worse than Windows Phone 7 Series...Quote:

It would probably work in general but would be pushing the power supply to its max depending on how much cpu and gpu load is applied at any one time, running prime and say fur at the same time might kick the ocp.Quote:

So, a GTX 480 with a 250w TDP, and let's say 240w real-world draw... compared to the 5870 with a 170-180w draw if I recall correctly, would make you hit around 470w... so as was said above, with an Earthwatts 500w you're going to be pushing it: it will run but it will definitely be hitting the PSU hard, I wouldn't count on overclocking the vidcard at all. I think the quad you have is a little lighter on power draw, but same difference for the most part.
Even if the eventual system load is "only" 400W... I still wouldn't push a PSU to near its max load ever
Um, can you link me to that? Xbit shows the real power draw of a 5870 to be more like 130W,. I'd be surprised if an overclocked i7 used even 150W. 500W should be fine for a q9650 and a 250W video card. The 9650 uses around 60W at stock, so even if it's OC'd and consumes 100W, he still isn't going to push the limits of the PSU.Quote:

I agree that it would be smart for him to swap to a new PSU if he's going for the 480.Quote:
