很夸张,整机466W显卡满载功耗,以前HD5870测试的时候是33xW,也就是说两者差了 将近130W ,但是两家官方PPT里的TDP又是多少呢?HD5870为188W TDP,某卡为250W TDP,是谁再撒谎?
至于温度,满载1分钟不到飙升到98度,随后风扇开始提速,温度逐渐下降一直到92度,之后再 也没有发生变 化.(室内温度20度)

GTX480 power consumption at full load is nearly 130W more than HD5870，full load Temperature is 92℃.

Good luck on overclocking that on stock cooler

[TurboDiv]

500$ for GTX 480 with 8% more HP and a bunch more watts over a 400$ 5870 which will drop in price when GTX480 comes out. I don't know guys,I know i will wait a little before I dump my cash...

[annihilat0r]

if that's true, good luck on RUNNING it on stock cooler.

130W more than 5870?? That's indeed double, like someone said a few pages before!!

But I doubt that's a real case scenario. Probably some "power virus" like Furmark that wakes the beast within Fermi

AMD to counter with overclocked Radeon HD 5870
Today we can reveal that AMD has chosen to counter NVIDIA's new graphics card with an overclocked version of Radeon HD 5870. In other words, no HD 5890 or such but just an overclocked HD 5870.

AMD says that its Radeon HD 5870 graphics card, with GPU clocked between 875-900MHz, will be enough to keep even pace with NVIDIA. The memory clocked will be increased slightly from 4800MHz to 5000MHz.

Considering Radeon HD 5870 launched six months ago with 850MHz GPU clock frequency is pretty remarkable, especially since 900MHz is far from everything the Cypress GPU has to give.

Whether AMD's overclocked Radeon HD 5870 card will be able to stand up to NVIDIA's new flagship remains to be seen, but AMD doesn't seem that worried about NVIDIA's first GeForce Fermi card......

Again... that is supposedly a picture of GT215.

So basically the 530mm^2 rumour was more Charlie bs

It is GF100 A3,leaked by a chinese employee of Giada.

Can anyone estimate die size from these?

[pentium777]

so its trolling when you say the obvious about how much fail nvidia is making right now ????

Nope only comments like this are EPIC FAIL. There's plenty of reasons people desire to stick with Nvidia vs ATI. Last ATI I had was X1950XTX or X1900XTX whatever it was and the shaded graphics and AA were F'd in BF2 and Catalyst drivers were garbage.

I think most people will also agree SLI works better than Crossfire but of course that depends on the title in general though I think SLI has better gains in performance.

So what does soemthing 3 years ago have to do with where they are now?

I've had my share of Nvidia driver crashes in Vista that I don't really trust people who say that one team's drivers are far better than the others

They've both had their up's and downs. Nvidia was screwing the pooch when Win7 was hitting beta/RTM. And AMD was screwing the pooch with 4870 when it first came out. So it goes. No one is perfect for too long a time.

GTX480 power consumption at full load is nearly 130W more than HD5870，full load temperature is 92℃.

Aaaa so basically its a decedent of 2900 XTX



Lets see that nice fan



Can any one link gtx4x0 fan...BTW what was the A rating on that ?

even the gtx280 is way cooler, although it has a huge die size as well. hum, doesn't look that good especially if you consider the rather good looking heatsink.

i hope that's just due to some low-noise fan speed profile (like the radeon 4850 has...), where the fan speed is set pretty low and can be increased without suffering from the noise that much.

doesn't change the power consumption though. 130w more than a 5870 is quite nasty as, imo, the 5870 eats a lot of energy already.
i think i won't be able to run that thing on my 550w psu

i'm playing bf2 with an ati for over 1,5 years now. full eyecandy with 4xAA (adaptive aa), 16xAF never had a single issue. the only thing that doesn't work on an ati is the shadow smoothing technique used in bf2. bf2's shadows look weird anyways so it's not that important

[tool_462]

At least if you watercool a 480 you will cut out 20 watts of power consumption from the fan

[RPGWiZaRD]

"Delta electronics inc" says it all. Performance before silence.

This fan has to be very loud at 100% I bet (knowing Delta this will probably run up to like 5500rpm if it is 70/72mm or whatever), maybe closed headphones starts becoming a recommendation soon. Luckily Delta fans usually scale well noise wise if you lower speeds and they have a tendency to last like forever.

Oh and now I see why the cards have so high TDP.

My bad, it really is the chip. Wow thats huge.

Days to Go

[***Deimos***]

Days to Go

until more waiting and thread part 4?

Last time I heard about "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT", GT320 and GT330 were launched... yeah me too - dunno what that is.

=====================

FYI I said many many times. Its just plain old boring video cards, thats all. Sure gonna be faster - just like every year, nothing special.
Everybody had it so hyped up, as if it will do your taxes and teach your kids piano. Sorry mates.
Aint never gonna be another 9700pro or G80 launch, ever.. they're old, nobody would buy them.. its history

[ajaidev]

After 3 days we will find out when we can expect the reviews and after we read the reviews "after a week or so more" we can find out when will be the availability of the cards wait another week or so and then we can find out that because of limited availability all gtx 4x0 are sold....

I do see the 1008A3 etched on some of the dies, which makes sense, but supposedly N10E-GLM was the designation for GT215.
Maybe they are using it for a cover? Any idea what happened or whats going on?

The chips in the leaked pic are really GF100,the leaker already got fired by the company..

GT215 die is totaly different.

[mindfury]

But I doubt that's a real case scenario. Probably some "power virus" like Furmark that wakes the beast within Fermi

I forgot to consider PSU efficiency.130W is total system power consumption difference,if PSU efficiency is 80%,card power consumption difference should be about 100W.

[eric66]

130 more means gtx 480 can't get pci e certificate. if thing that you say is true that makes charlie hundred percent accurate about heat and power draw
