News - This evening's entertainment: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480

[MadduckUK]

I'm gonna wait for 470 sli review.

if it beats dual 5770's @ 1GHz or a 5870 then I'll buy it

why, its going to be far more expensive and far more power hogging, what a stupid comparison stupid

[cleaverlch]

its fermi night folks, celebrate in style!!

Let's hope we don't blow up one or two power stations by firing up Fermi all over the UK.

ya see, I care more about playing games smoothly than price or power usage.

why not get a 2x480 or 2x5970 then? because you actually don't? two 5850's may be more of an even comparison but you have avoided that one, which is a bit daft - daft guy

and in other news - scotch bonnet chillies may be hot but they are also kind of sweet could the 470/480 be slightly sweet? time will tell

£840 ea inc VAT


Slight revision : £700 ea inc VAT ofcourse I have no idea how much scan charges per build as an extra.

3XS SLI 480 OC = £2936
3XS SLI 285 OC = £2563

These systems appear to be identical spec aside from the gfx cards.

(£2936 - £2563) / 2 = £186
GTX285 = £280
GTX480 = £280 + £186 = £466

probably need to factor in some kind of "builing tax" but cant see it being much.. i would say ouch but really that pretty much spot on the projected price from a certain Mr. Demerjian's site. up to the numbers to make it worthwhile now

[Repressor]

GTX480 = £280 + £186 = £466

I think all those prices are Ex VAT though.

£550~

[sadbuttrue]

I assumed the build costs would have been factored in to each system already, and the difference from a 285 to 480 build would not include any extra.

The prices I listed are including vat.

mmm.. not so sure they wouldn't "top it up a bit" for a higher spec part, if only slightly.
