Nvidia misses GTX470/480 launch targets

[GoldenTiger]

Like many said before , benching is something and 24/7 is something else , i can bench 15 minute Far cry 2 with fan @ 60% and 1GHZ with 1.32V and temps never get past 75C , and for the MX3 i dont really care much about temps and i game at stock clocks anyway

Definitely, I don't personally care if you can hobble a card to run at an insane speed for a short session: I care about what I can actually use it at in games, not just force it through a short 5-minute synthetic and pray it doesn't crash .

Here's a quick Unigine bench... anyone got same-setting 5870/5970 ones they can show?
