    GTX 480 does not really do much, its hot and well hungry. GTX 485 would be a good card and hopefully it would be out before ATi's refresh.

    5870 around 900mhz-950mhz is very comparative and if you mix in 2GB's and say a $70 or so less of a price tag its would be a win on ati's side.

    Power....
    From lab51.ro review using 980X at 4.2ghz which i trust.. i say 20% especially with 4AA and 8AA and especially ant 1920*1200.
    And GTX 480 beats especially in DX11 new titles.
    Anyway, GTX 470 is more appealing.

    I think I've never been so dissappointed by a new gen from nvidia as I am currently. Ok maybe it is the fastest single card (at stock speed) but a 6 month old card where all mods are available and there are coming some special editions with maybe 1500+ GPU our way maybe...I still prefer to bench 5870...

    On the practical side I would never ever put that money-burner into my allday system...GPU 500€, power bill another 250€??? Ah yes and you need ear protection - 50€...maybe lots of Asperin also ^^
    Also all reviews have been done in OPEN test systems - putting a 480 in a closed tower and thinking of summer with 32°C+ in my flat...lol that card will be killed before august for sure...

    So I am one of thoose calling it: EPIC FAIL!

    doesn't surprise me, it only has 2x 120mm fans and the inside is covered with sound dampening foam.

    GTX 470 @ 859MHz 1062mv
