I was debating on the 480 but figure why dump money into multiple projects rather just get some 5870's and game. Spend the rest of my money crunching for WCG and the electric bill to go withElectric rate would be redicoulous too, calculations would put me at roughly $35/month to run one 24/7.

It may be debatable for gaming, but for crunching there is only one card to get - GTX4x0.

I have an EVGA GTX480 on order ... hopefully we will not have to guess at PPD much longer
http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3783&p=6
the 480 looks a lot better off on the gpgpu side.
If that ratio holds true for GPUGrid I will be selling my GTX285 and GTX295 pronto!!!
Isn't that roughly the same numbers that 2 295's get?
I predict 100K and then 0 the next day because your power hungry card blew up
i3-8100 | GTX 970
Ryzen 5 1600 | RX 580
Assume nothing; Question everything
Holy crap thats a difference. will have to wait for a good deal before I bite, but the cost should make up for more than a few of the current cards.
There are going to be some changes between team positions this year I think.
Looking forward to the results SC
@ Pulsar: according to the anandtech review. The GTX 480 folds 3.5x faster than a GTX 285. So I think it will be even better than 2 GTX 295s.
Definately worth the cost compared to production
Question though; is the 480 worth the premium over the 470? I would love to get a bunch of the single slot cards.
May have to sell off the rest of my GTX 275's and GTX 260 and get a couple of these cards

Has anyone seen any charts of GTX 470 CUDA performance? Trying to figure out if I should preorder or not
Main : i7 920 D0 @ 4ghz on Rampage II Gene - H2O - 6gb XMS3 1680mhz C9 - GTX 580
Sossaman : Dual Yonah @ 2.0ghz
Server: 1055T 6 core @ 3.6ghz - air cooled - 16gb KVR1333 - 8 x 1TB Caviar Black
HTPC : i5 760 @ 4ghz on Maximus III Gene - H2O - 8gb KVR1333 - GTX275 - 80GB X25-M G2 + 4 x 2.5" Caviar Black 500GB @ 7200RPM
chrunching for our future
On that - SC, how soon till we get some numbers?!?
The long story is that while I was ordering my 480 online with EVGA my wife walks into the room ... I stop what I was doing so I could pay full attention to our ensuing *conversation*. A bit later I finish placing the order but it tells me I ordered a 470? I go back to change to a 480 but it won't let me. Apparently during the *conversation* with my wife, EVGA's 480 went from being in stock to "Inform me" (or whateverathehell EVGA calls it).
I now have it on backorder with Microcenter so i will likely not see it for, what a couple of weeks? What's the current estimate on general availability?

what option do you guys think is best? GTX 470 or 480? how much more performance will the 480 give over the 470? Also many say that we should wait for the next version/update on these cards; what do you think?
I am really tempted to sell my 275's/260 to get a couple cards, but not sure with the heat/noise issues brought up. also the fact that these suck up some serious juice.
anyone want to se the facts straight, or is it too early to tell?
I believe April 12 will be the day ... but I don't know how "general" it will be though.
Lookin forward to the numbers SC.
And yeah... I'm not to sure on this either. I'm debating getting one and running my 260 in phyX.
But then I'm thinking I'm building my brother a computer in less than a year... If I wait for that, I can give him my 260 and then load up on the shrink...
Or then lookin at pickin up some of the cheap 2xx's but don't know if it's worth it for the price...
Everything is in the air as far as I can tell... If anyone has any info...
I'm finally going to wager a guess and say 90-100k daily
gtx480 offers best performance.
it costs 40% more
20% faster.
they run at the same temps
the 480 uses 25% more power
its not as loud as the 470
if the 480 does pull 80K to 100K and i had the money i would buy it. i really dont see an update coming soon. we might see a refresh on 28nm with 6gpc's for a total of 768sp's. the lower end 400 series might be better options too. i think they will be out in a few months.
does anyone know if the grid supports these cards?
according to F@H they are still working to get these cards to work on F@H and numbers are not impressive from what I read. Hopefully they can get something figured out
read the green panel (news) here http://www.gpugrid.net/index.php
My Biggest Fear Is When I die, My Wife Sells All My Stuff For What I Told Her I Paid For It.79 SB threads and 32 IB Threads across 4 rigs 111 threads Crunching!!
The GTX4XX and GTS4XX cards are on the support gpu cuda page.
So has anyone heard anything I pretty tempted to buy a few if I could find them.
i was hoping you were here to tell us
i want to know as well but have not seen any results. i am also wondering if we should wait for the revision but who knows how long that will be. i would like a hydro version, but thought about getting vanilla and adding h2o block later
I'll go out and buy one tomorrow and find out if you could point me to a place that doesn't have an inflated price.
I almost bought one this past week, but I think everyone is out of stock that is closed to retail
GPUGrid should be getting 1x480 and 1x470 later this week so they can test new versions of thier app as the current one crashes on 470/480.
Well then... I guess 0 PPD i'm sure GPUgrid will get the cards up and running before availability is acctually reasonable for a 470/480.
