Nvidia and ati mark up the power rating because 75% of PC's they get shoved in have generic no anme, made in china power supplies that i wouldn't trust with a lightbulb.

Yea, well. I doubt you need 1200 W for two. i think even 700 will be able to power two, or 750.

They said the req for 275 was 500 or so.. i have two, and everything.. cpu, gpu etc is overclocked. i use like 600w (varies) or so at MAX of my 950w psu.
 
Yeah the 550w and 600w means for the whole system anyway, that's where a lot of people get confused.
 
Game benchmarks mean nothing...I wanna see Folding benchmarks:D You know it will run games games just fine and will only get better with new driver releases coming in the future.

It is expensive...might not be the best PRICE:PERFORMANCE ratio card on the market:(

yeah, looks more like price to smiley ratio if you ask me :P

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2010/03/27/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480-1-5gb-review/5 according to this, fermi basically ties with the 5870 in every game, and gets its ass handed to it by the 5970
edit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130551&cm_re=fermi-_-14-130-551-_-Product may well be my next purchase, depending on how the waterblocks look

..

Keep in mind that Ati released a Driver that increased their performance by 20% some months ago.. Now, let nvidia release their drivers maybe? No drivers has been released at all which usually leads to a terrible performance. I can guarantee a 20% over 5870 with new drivers.. in fact i can make a bet on that.

Drivers arent going to increase the performance by much, nVidia has fallen behind and maybe next time they will learn not just to add a bunch of shaders to the core. And even if it does by some miracle beat the 5870 by 20%, the 5870's TDP is far lower.

Most benches shows performance over 5870 so what are you talking about?

Most benches show them about equal with ATI ahead in a few and Nvidia ahead in a few. Also, the TDP is insane, and the performance per watt is horrible. The cards draw more power than a 5970, which is a twin GPU card.

Performance isnt what always makes you king in the world of gpu's and cpu's, case and point, intel was still the largest cpu manufacturer when the P4 netburst architecture was totally obliterated by AMD's athlons.

Here are some beches showing that 480 equals pretty much HD 5970 from overclockers club a highly respected site.

These are all from the most respected sites on the internet.. and i could keep on going for ages..
 
I wouldn't piss off the senior members if I was you, and is that 10% performance gain really worth the extra $130 dollars over the 5870?

Piss off? i think it's very lame to enter a thread and go all "480 lost.." without sources.

There are some, and i can add 100000 more from other games.

And yes the price is worth it.

I wait for somone to oppose me, then i will reply with facts. That's how i do things. If i disgree i find facts and i don't make them up. I'll use every fact i can to prove my statement...

I'll just wait for the Ati fanboys and everyone else to come and i'll find benches done by professional reviewers.

Like i said earlier, winning and losing is not only about the benchmarks. nVidia has a card that costs far more for little performance gain, and creates more heat than the 5970 and also draws more power than the 5970. Nobody is making up facts, look at any review out there that includes power consumption. Even on the EVGA forums, many people feel the GTX480 is not a worthwhile investment over the 5870.

Not to mention, look at vantage scores for the cards. Nobody who buys cards for benching in 3dmark and such is going to buy a card that already creates enormous amounts of heat and at stock has lower scores than a 5870.

yes, yes. But let's not conclude here mate.. There are several things one should take into consideration. All the extra features, and the fact that it just released etc. Prices will drop, but i wont wait.

450 dollars is not bad for Americans... 700 here in Norway but that's only 75 dollars more than 5870 (here in Norway), that's not bad at all.

[1] they don't care for Physix, has a low budget and dont want 3D nor cuda.. then that's just a preference..

MSRP is $499, not $450... The 5870 is only $379 msrp. The extra features are not things that most gamers or benchers will use, and it was "just released" will not decrease the power consumption.
