I cant say where but you will know in a few hours, and those prices are pretty much bang on.

[Hicks12]

Gainward GTX 480 £430
MSI GTX 480 £495
Asus GTX 480 £505

Gainward GTX 470 £300

All including VAT

I cant say where but you will know in a few hours, and those prices are pretty much bang on.

Cant say as it breaks NDA? fair play but shouldnt really mention at all .


I bet the fps would be 111. I bet it runs hot, i bet it is cheaper than the 5970 but also runs similar to this apart from in crisis at high resolution and AA as i still think the dual gpu would kick its butt.

Is the NDA lift time also under NDA?

[cptwhite_uk]

I'm guessing the missing benchmark is 94

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

Nah, they don't. I did all the sums on 3XS a few months back - even in absolute cash terms they charge very little for the build plus warranty.

My guess is that a lot of their profit on the systems comes from the fact that people are forced to buy all the components from Scan, rather than the build fee.

[Repressor]

Woo, NDA is truly lifted?

[Terbinator]

The guy was right on pricing.

I went to the Scan Nvidia event, superb night.

Kyle at HardOCP was fairly damning. And WOW at the fan noise vids he has up.

NV need to roll that refresh out fast. The only real advantage is those 2gb frame buffers at high end gaming. Otherwise. Hot, Expensive, LOUD, and not really a "killer" slamdunk.

Watch the 58xx cards spike in price now :-/

Agreed,

Nv need high performing drivers asap to justify price and the raging inferno.
