I did mention I'd be doing 2xGTX 480 SLI didn't I? Always planned on it unless GTX 480 wasn't a good product, it is not the best overall release ever but then again 8800 Ultra was 800-1000, GTX 280 was $649 each so GTX 480 SLI costs me $1000 that's $300 less than my GTX 280 SLI cost me.

It has already been identified that the 2560x1600 hit is unexpected and will be corrected in a few weeks (Nvidia report to one of the review sites) These GPUs are fully programmable, with Nvidia's history on driver revisions I fully expect and believe that the card's performance will improve and be an even better value.



Apparantley XFX doesn't think so.

We just received confirmation that XFX, a division of PINE Technologies, will not be releasing any GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards to the market when the cards become public next month. XFX said that the decision not to carry this series of GF100 graphics card was their decision and that they will still be carrying NVIDIA products. From our conversation with XFX they mentioned that they have "yet to see whether the fermented launch will reach an inglorious anti-climax" and mentioned they want to "Ferm up to who really has the big Guns". We are guessing they mean AMD and it sounds like they have something special cooking up there too.
