News - Would the real GeForce GTX 480 please stand up? 512-core version on the way?

[HEXUS]

High yields could finally lead to full-fat GF100.

Read more.

I'd rather a full fat GF104..

[Stephince]

I second that

[BullDogg]

I'd rather have two full-fat GF104's on a single PCB.

Or am I just being greedy?

Interesting that the revision is blurred out on the GPU-z screen shot. That could mean we're looking at a GF100a...

I see the sales of 1000w + PSU's going up in the near future and winter heating bills going down

Should be interesting to see how much extra umph the extra shader cluster give it though.

The GTX260 got a decent bump IIRC, and that was only 20 extra shaders (192 vs 212). Will be interesting to see if they've done anything to try and curb some of its energy hunger while they were at it as well..

24 shaders (216). Which is a 12.5% increase.

32 extra shaders for the 480 is a 6.67% increase. So the only 'only' should be for the new 480 increase

90 day step-up FTW!!
