Nothing important on dis' except prices and availability here in France :
470 349€ (~ same price than 5870 approx.)

Maybe there are some Power-Management features within the Fermi Core which did not work with the used drivers in the review. :confused:
If not - how could such an explosion in power consumption be passed on to the market. It's a complete mystery to me how a company in these days could release such a product. :shrug:
I must go 6 months back and say: ATI well done :clap:

that is interesting.. doesnt match with Hexus review
id bet it has to do with the TSMC process giving them less than they wanted. so they have 2 options, either up the voltage and get a few more clocks to be the top contender, or keep the tdp lower and be equal to or maybe worse than 58xx cards. since they are building top dog cards, power consumption probably lost and they went with more perf, for a much higher power draw.
if people were planing on making a folding farm, they might see that undervolting would be the way to go for trying to get the most points per dollar, factoring cost of chips and electric bill. but gamers are much less affected.
kaktus1907: I think that's the case Charlie mentioned: 5870 running under DX11 but 480 running under DX9. To make 480 run under DX11, you need to force it with a console command.
Also, GS will spank FB this sunday
Whoa, those French benchmarks are very impressive for 480 if accurate lol.

what makes you think that evry site uses the same benchmark?
the better reviews are from real game play not timedemos.
well its looks like we have a new price > performance champ...the gtx 470 :p:
on new drivers too!
you do realize that an architecture does not determine performance per watt because it is intangible? its more of a battle of process v. architecture. nvidia has a very impressive dx11 arch but it has had trouble on 40nm. nvidia's yields dont allow them to bin gtx480's at the tdp they would like. we could see a silicon spin like B1 or gf100 implemented well on 28nm and it will be an excellent competitor.
The live blog is online now..
on live has started
Too bad they didn't provide some video link from the event. That would be interesting.

the doors are open.
fail.Quote:
No livestream guys but we will post some great video clips of this as soon as we can after the event
yep, its just a matter of how soon they think they can get a 28nm gpu out.
btw off topic cat 10.3b will be out today fixes flashing in bad company

I am beginning to think that nVidia provided Uningine or made it a requirement for reviews.....
Update from PAX EVENT
:banana::banana::banana::banana:, they have green thunder sticks...ATI is screwed now :)Quote:
People are streaming in and trying to get the best seats. And they've brought plenty of green thundersticks that we've been giving out in the booth all day so it's going to not just be packed, but it's going to be NOISY
