KitGuru has heard that nVidia’s been through the first iteration of the GTX480 with a fine tooth comb, to create a GTX485 product that can run at least 20MHz more on the core clock, with improved cooling and performance. It’s also worked through some neat driver improvements that will also help.......
HOLY :banana::banana::banana::banana:! 20mhz!
damnnn better stand back! i thought we needed nitrogen to reach those blistering frequencies? =-o
maybe its a new silicon revision, i dont why they would rename it without having the full 512 shaders though, and i would doubt that it actually runs cooler and dose not just have a higher fan speed or better fin design i doubt that its lower wattage or that it will be significantly different but maybe
I'm done listening to KitGuru.
You listened to them to start out with? :eek:Quote:

so isn't it coming with the full 512 SP, PLUS the additional 20 mhz clock speed. you guys sound like it's just coming out on new silicon, 480 sp, and only 20mhz bump
They made it up. See NVIDIA section for more info. *facepalm* The card they show is an EVGA GTX470 SC.Quote:

Kitguru is a freaking joke, with made up news to steal web traffic.
Created like 3-4 months ago from someone trying to make some quick bucks from this domain.
And from so called "article":Are those guys making those news, stupid or what?Quote:

Pathetic hoax site. :rofl:
heres my guess:
they are talking about some gf104, which is running at 20 mhz core clock higher than a gtx 480, conveniently not mentioning the fact that its lacking in many other ways.
I'm sure Nvidia is planning on replacing the 480 with a slower card...Quote:

Thus, "Turbo" is a bit of a misnomer. I suppose a more accurately named "make my computer slower" button wouldn't have caught on as well with consumers ;)
Improved cooling? Can just always buy a non-reference card...
lolkitguru, I thought S|A was bad but this... this is out of proportion :rofl:
right... 20mhz... improved cooling over 480? improved how? a 2000cfm fan? :p:
that heatsink is as good as it gets for that size... the only way to make it better is more airflow or making it bigger than the card itself
No, but i gave them the benefit of the doubt in the very beginning. Now its just... *FP*Quote:

Yes :)Quote:

€dith: Reading the comments on KitGuru makes me want to puke and bash my head on a wall till I loose consciousness.
So they printed an image of an old card on the story... doesn't mean the story is wrong or right, it's just a picture of a couple of cards. People are pretty quick to flame the tech tabloids. There are often some grains of truth in their stories, especially as they're not bound by nda nor threat of blacklisting. Ironically it's the so-called credible sites that are under the hypnotic powers of the corporations - they have to operate under strict nda's and align their reviews with carefully prepared 'guides'. Step out of line and the flow of goodies stops. There are virtually no honest tech sites left on the internet these days.
Given the cost of manufacturing fermi, and the power/heat problems it suffers, I'd be pretty suprised to learn that Nvidia wasn't working on a revison tbh.

the GTX 485 that basing on GF100 Fermi GPU will have 512 CUDA / 64 TMUs/48 ROPs; Core/Shader gets set to720/1440MHz, higher than GTX480
Umm.... the 286 CPU had an initial release speed of 6mhz and 8mhz and I believe hit somewhere around 16mhz with further revisions. Plus i don't recall them being able to be overclocked using the turbo button. If i recall correctly, the turbo button didn't become available until the 386, and it definitely didn't increase speed 20mhz.Quote:

I recall the video card having extra sockets that allowed you to upgrade the VRAM to 16mb, which I added after I got my dad to drive me to Fry's electronics.
Man.... things have sure come a long way since 1992. I bought that PC just so I could play Doom. But then got hooked on the Ultima games, more specifically Ultima 7. Probably the best RPG ever made.
My 286 had the turbo/oc button, I think it was like 12mhz with turbo on if I'm remembering correctly. The whole idea of turbo was kind of silly thinking back, who ever ran their computer with it off. :DQuote:

my 286 was 12mhz with the turbo button, and about 6-8 without it. A whopping 1mb RAM and 20mb HDD too :D
lol. You mean how he was dreadfully wrong? I love how people gloss over those "facts" things and find 1 piece of information that someone happened to be correct about, then call them "accurate".Quote:

You are doing exactly this the other way right now. Overall he was right, he predicted lots of heat, low yields, delays and a product that wouldn't live up to nVidias promises. All that was right. He even predicted the week of tape out, and did very good predicting time of release almost a year in advance. And you say he was dreadfully wrong?Quote:

This is from July last year, a time when people were still talking about release somewhere around that of Windows 7.
http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/07/...300-tapes-out/
And already in May he doubted that it would be possible with a hard launch in Q1 2010.
And we are still waiting for a full fermi launch.
So please, point out what details in his predictions that made everything so wrong that you consider it dreadful.
Am I the only one thinking this possible move by nVIDIA is silly?Quote:

Yeah that would crash the price on the whole range. It wouldn't make any scenes to nVidia, ATi or their employees. But it could make the day for frequent consumers of high-end GPU, for sure.Quote:

aaaaaaaaargh my eyes !!! they BAAAAAAAAAARN !!!
If this is true its good news for Nvidia especially if they can drop the 480 closer to the 5870 , say within 50$ it would get a lot more sales ( if they can make enough of them) , think bout it a 480 for 50$ more than a 5870 YUM !! Current 480 owners might feel a little shortchanged sadly .
what have been seen cannot be unseen......
Is this the PCB for 485?
New NVIDIA GF100 Board Surfaces, Suggests New High-End SKU
i wonder why no holes for the fan on this pcb, eng sample or fake?
Do I smell 20k PPD from a single card?! =)
Better caps... well damaged 480s until this point all had burnt out fets with caps intact. Hopefully they did something about this.
lol a whole 20mhz, oh man
With an additional 32 SPs and 4 TMUs.Quote:
