Nvidia misses GTX470/480 launch targets

[Eastcoasthandle]

So what are they going to offer int he mainstream price range?

I read something about a 460 but priced at $300 . That's the only other derivative that I've read mentioned so far. I'm not sure that's true though. To bad we aren't seeing any price competition.

[Mungri]

Geforce 460 is for the midrange, priced at the same cost as a 5850. Dont know the specs yet.

F$(#* YOU NVIDIA

Because of you we haven't had price drops in over 6 months

lol.

[Sn0wm@n]

well that was straight to the point.....

[insurgent]

I know how he feels, 6 months is really a long time for video cards to stay above MSRP. Consolation for me being my upgrade plan is mobo/proc/ram 1st and video card a little later.

Looking at the Dabs site and search for GTX 480, it looks like they only have 2 out of 4 products that have an ETA, and only the Zotec one with due in 1-2 days suggest that Dabs will only be expecting the Zotec on Monday next week, and more from ASUS later in the week.

Assuming the above is correct, 17 GTX480 from just 1 AIB, and I wouldn't call Zotec one of the larger nVidia partners, I think we are more then likely going to see a lot more of the 4xx in the UK from venders like OcUK where no less then 7 different AIB versions of the card showing an ETA of 12th.

100 GTX480 and GTX470 combind allocated for the whole of europe... I don't think so.

my sources at scan tell me they will have 35 pieces of the 470 asus model alone and 10 of the 480 asus parts on monday, with more from Giga and gainward later in the week. the same kind of number for each brand.

only model not showing up is the MSI flavour of the 480 qand 470, for reasons unknown

i cant waittill tommorow yippee

Well you see it from ATI with 5770 dx11 and 5830, but I don't even see anything in large supply from Nvidia besides 250s? I dont understand its like low end and high end but no mid. I mean even 285s with dx11 would be goo.

Topic = Noooooooooooooo???!!!?!?!

New toy(s) = more fun

In 3 months there will be another thread like this with different "maid of honor" from the same old TSMC

Zotac on Monday - 9 cards

But this is changing very quickly, so very well they might have more cards by next day.
Asus due in 3-4 days - 8 cards (from Friday = Tuesday/Wednesday)

No ETA for remaining two.

As you said one thing worth remembering is that usually more cards at launch can be found at Enthusiasts shops like Overclockers.

[ajaidev]

Local store "High grade/expensive" has total Zotac 480 "8" and GTX 470 "10", they have no other brand.

100 cards was per AIB for Europe.

[eternal_fantasy]

100 cards was per AIB for Europe.

Per AIB or not, if what was posted on the stock coming to a few of the larger venders are true, there will be more then 200+ ASUS GTX 470/480 allocated for the first week to the UK alone.

Next thing someone's gonna tell me is that the 100 is only for GTX-480...

[Mechanical Man]

Muropaketti has confirmed from one AIB that its initial share si ~100 cards globally. Ofc big AIBs get lot more.

[annihilat0r]

100 cards per AIB for Europe makes what, 500 cards total? Even you're talking only about EU member states there are 27 states and it makes less than 20 GTX 470 + GTX 480 cards COMBINED. How many of you guys think this is likely?

[Mungri]

Its not likely because larger AIBs get more than 100, but the report claims that just two AIBs are getting 100 each, which might just be two small AIBs.

It didnt say every AIB, nor were those numbers in anyway representative of the total number of different branded GTX 480s that will be available on launch.

[SKYMTL]

The thing to remember is that smaller AIBs ALWAYS get the shaft close to launch. Taking their numbers and assuming all partners will be in the same situation is nuts IMO.

From reports it seems like EVGA in particular shipped out a good number of parts LAST WEEK with more coming available on Monday.

the claim (by Charlie) which everyone is parroting is that there are 100 cards per AIB, and that makes a total of 1600 cards worldwide, 500 of them for the whole Europe.

No it isnt:

Short story, the cards, both combined, worldwide, for all launch partners is less than 8,000 units in the first week..... Two major AIBs have allocated less than 100 cards each for Europe

I dont think that these figures are inaccurate, they seem believable to me.

[Eastcoasthandle]

Who said anything about 1600 total?
Edit: Nevermind, it looks like bhavv cleared it up.

[annihilat0r]

No it isnt:

Oops, looks like I read it wrong, it was 1600 per AIB. Sorry

I like the idea of a 40nm 285 gtx but they could have just gave it a slight bump in shaders 256 and higher core clocks, 1000mhz+ on air wouldn't have been a problem since the 285 where hitting about 800mhz on air.

well its the 12 of April its out of stuck every where i look...

[GoldenTiger]

My eVGA GTX470 from newegg is "out for delivery" via UPS today... waiting for that knock from the UPS guy !
