The Fermi Thread - Part 3

is it just me, or is this page 66?

new rumor: the gtx480 consumes enough power to pop all the breakers in your house and produces enough heat to then set your house on fire.

New rumour: Nvidia buys the number 66, changes it to 90, just to screw with you. They do hate babies and all....

Oh, and GTX480 is actually 28" long, they just scale everything to it in all the pictures and videos.

It's not just him, we're on page 67 now... people saying page 90 have a low post-per-page count in their user options .

Yup, page 67 now, but it was 66 at the time of your post.

There is no guarantee that you will get a good experience from the 480 either. As Carfax has repeatedly reminded us, the drivers for this architecture are relatively immature at this point. So while there should be a speed increase with future drivers (I'd guess at least 6% ) there is the flip side that until the good drivers come out we will have to deal with the bugs that haven't been found yet.

That is a good point, but I have more faith in nVidia to deliver a well-working driver on a new card than I do in ATI from my own experiences, especially considering the 5870 didn't work well for me the 480 sure can't be any worse (I'd hope!) .
