News - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 benchmarked

He's right. his i7 9200 is the best - its even there in his system specs.

<ahem>....did someone say 9200 ?

:facepalm: back to you pal. i guess you took my post seriously

"Are you suggesting that you're surprised by the fact that different setups run by different sites give different results?"
If dirferent are 20fps....yes, specially if the site is Nvidia
Then....Wich is the correct?the site with x fps, or the site with x+20 fps.I agree if the diference is 4-5 fps, but no 20.But....hey wait...dont worry, be happy

Different mobo, different RAM, different CPU, different hard drive, different settings, different drivers, different windows installation, different programs used for testing.

I can see why it might change.

So now we are back to the gtx 480 winning in Far Cry 2. Didn't we know that two months ago?

It will be worth the wait for a complete benchmark test by Hexus with teh new 10.3 drivers to see if ATI have managed to pull a fast one on Nvidia especially considering the cost/power and cooling requirements of the cards.

If you consider the TDP of a single fermi card can you imagine what you would need for a dual card?? 800+ watt PSu anyone??

Was a post on Hardocp about that.

Heh, at worst case, 900w for 3 +200w for system that's 1100w, a 1200/1300w psu already exists, but anyway

1100W @ 80% efficiency is 1320w
1320w / 120 v = 11A
Most wall sockets are 15A
add in another 2A for your speakers if you use them, Monitor, and you're getting close to pushing the limit of a 15A line

I can see a few ppl running really high end rigs blowing fuses. (in more than one way)

Heard today that there will NOT be a B1 spin later this year. A3 is it.

Now that if confirmed... is HIGHLY interesting. I really cannot believe that NV will have enough chips to sell world wide, nor that they could sell them for a profit.

Are they really going to suck up a loss and just rapidtrack the next process node?

Well, they will have enough chips, but only because they're disabling 1/8th of the cores to allow for errors. I've no idea whether nVidia get preferential rates at TSMC, but it wouldn't surprise me if they bulk order 4x as many chips that they'd get some kind of better deal than AMD. But yeah, I don't think they're going to make as much out of their cards as AMD are making from theirs.

Don't think they can rapid track the next process though - that's all down to TSMC and they might start looking at AMD more favourably given that they were happy to engineer around the faults and didn't complain about it too loudly, while nVidia were rather more rigid then shouted quite loudly when it wasn't their fault it didn't work. The two companies have very different ways of treating their partners and you have to wonder if at some point nVidia will have to do more than just waving large orders around and hoping that will smooth over everything else.

[Jimbo75]

Simple question really. I'll assume Tarinder will be reviewing the 470 and 480.

The question is - will you benchmark it against the 5970 or will that card be left out?

[mercyground]

@kalniel There was a joke about that ages ago on forum given the screaming temper tantrums NV was having over that.

"So how many wafers should allocate to NV next year?"
"5"
"5k?"
"no... 5. Just 5."

And to be perfectly honest. If i was TSMC... I'd do it. ATI/AMD worked with them and got it resolved. Thats good business practise.

NV is acting like spoilt 17 teen brat. Its time they got a grounding.

Hello

Please check your own benchmark for actual 5870 performance

5870 clear faster than Nvidia card indicated.

Hello.

Please read the article again more carefully.

Noted, sir. Just a reminder to anyone getting excited about this card. Wonder how much original publisher was greased.
