    The size of the cooler and way the heatpipes are layed out seem to suggest that the 480 is going to be one hell of a hot card. I wouldn't want to have one of these beasts inside my computer.

    You can tell that from the power requirements - energy going in has to come out somewhere But it's no worse than the 295 or 5970.

    I suppose 700mhz is not too bad considering the issues they had and the size of the chip.

    Wonder how much headroom is in there.........

    It will be hugely variable- early manufactured ones will have less, but the odd example is likely to be okay. Once the process has matured a year or so down the line then it should be a lot better, but it's a bit of a minefield with low yield and late products like this.

    Once they fix the manufacturing process, the fermi as intended will probably come out as a 490 GTX or something like that,

    Re: News - XFX GeForce GTX 470 and 480 graphics cards pose for the camera

    Given nVidia's naming strategy, it'll probably also be called a 480 and lead to much confusion as nobody knows what the heck is going on.
