wow that box looks really nice... way better than the palit stuff!
and nice, i guess there will be cards available at the launch! at least 120 inno3d cards from the looks of it

Dell should sue them for stealing the XPS design.

hah, ok, that explains that i guess...

for launch date are prepared 60 000 cards, in next weeks will be more!

how sure are you about that number?

GTX 480 has 512SP, i thought it is a taken as a facts?

GeForce 380 has huge power consumption, but performance is only few percent under HD 5970 and far away from HD 5870 perf. Trust me, will see next week on many servers, when NDA for info lifts!

Yeah, GTX 480 is not competitor for 5970, but 5870 This is not NEWS.
Against 5970 NV has planned dual GTX 470

lol, what happened to charlie's "5000 cards" figure?

it wasnt just charlie, lots of people are talking about 5K launch and 10k later, some say 5K launch and 5k later and overall is 10k... it could be that these are the allocations nvidia gave their partners... and then all partners together are 60.000...

You haven't did your homework, have you?

oh! excuse ME professor... not everybody can be as all knowing as you

Read the initial Anandtech's HD 5000 article. The GDDR5 controller used on HD 4000 was made without enough time to implement power saving futures. The controller on HD 5000 can downclock memory now. The ECC at low clocks can be disabled, too (no need for it) so the memory is similar too GDDR3 than and it's another power saving future.

i thought it does support it but its broken? now that you and somebody else mentioned it i remember reading about that...

Releasing cards on some gaming action do not look like proper release anyway. They'll finaly show some runing cards and real benches and than at some time the cards will arrive on stock. Usually there is 1-2 month between demoing the cards and releasing them

1-2 months? thats not normal, thats a paper launch then... there are usually at least some cards available the same day a product launches or a few days after... thats a real launch... the 280 was available immediatly after launch, same for the 275 and 285...
