Inno3D yesterday showed us their new flagship graphics card — the GeForce GTX 470/480, their fastest GPUs so far (and also claims as currently the fastest in the world).
The numbers will speak for themselves and the GeForce GTX 480 has some pretty stats to its credit.
Inno3D GeForce GTX 480
700MHz core speed
480 shader processors @ 1,401MHz
384-bit interface
1.5GB GDDR5 RAM @ 1,848MHz
Being the top of the line video card, the GTX480 does not come cheap. Expect it to be selling north of Php25,000 in stores.
If you’re looking for something more affordable, the GTX470 is next in line.
Inno3D GeForce GTX 470
607MHz core speed
448 shader processors @ 1,215MHz
320-bit interface
1.28GB GDDR5 RAM @ 1,674MHz
The GTX470 has a price point of at least Php15,000 in stores.
The GTX480 takes about 3 slot spaces in the PC while the GTX470 takes 2 slot spaces. Both cards has the blessings of nVidia’s CUDA, 3D Vision and PhysX technologies as well as support for Microsoft’s DirectX 11.
Disclosure: The GTX470 box in the photos above is the prize I won during their raffle at the Inno3D prescon. It will find its way to my PC, replacing the old GTX275.
Performance vs Performance? Comparing the same metric against itself?
Anyway, that’s a quad-SLI screenshot you just posted. The GTX480 trails behind a 5870 in vantage, so the title of best single GPU is still a touch and go matter. It’s mostly engine/renderer affected.
Maybe out of the box, the GTX480 can perform better as a single card for some titles, but considering the price, power consumption, and heat (oh my god the heat!)it’s closer to a dual 5850 in crossfire (which performs better too) than a single-GPU 5870 (which still kicks its ass in some cases).
Don’t get me wrong though. I’m sure nvidia did the architecture on this one right. They just made it on the wrong silicon process. They need a die shrink fast, or they will lose out even more.
I hope i can overclock this one in time for DCE (Davao Cyber Expo 2010) on july.

performance vs performance this is the best single gpu on the market.
The shroud leads hot air out. So the worry wouldn’t be accumulation of heat inside the case, but rather feeding the card itself with enough air. Most cases don’t have air intake at the lower portion of the side panel. Some that do, don’t have it at the right spot, which in this case, should be closer to the front, to align with the GTX480/470 intake.
It’s fast, and it’s hot.
Expect it to strain the heck out of your cooling system ^^
Yup. Huge die = huge TDP.
Better to wait for a die-shrink for this one. Reminds me of the G80.. lol.
Here’s the problem with the new GTXs.. They run too hot! I’d stick with Radeons. Issue rin kasi dito kung mas mabilis ang lifespan dahil sa excess heat.
Nah.. if imabee buyin that card it won’t be in pesos..
*waits for a decent GPU with low power consumption
;_;
I’ve looooong been a member of the green team. Waited like forever for this to come out. Sadly, this is one big disappointment from Nvidia. It’s 6 months late and overpriced.
Though this might be worth buying when the prices go down, or when more tessalation-heavy DX11 titles come out, coz that is where Fermi excels.
Will look forward to the next Fermi derivative/die shrink though. Still green team at heart. lol. :D
@techiebiox
Quadros are geared towards professional 3D apps where it offers hardware acceleration. They are not optimized for gaming and are far, far more expensive.
25k to play DOTA and Farmville? :P
With this card in your rig, you better prepare to upgrade your power supply and cooling system as well.
I’ve read in forums that this card can run really hot.
it’s very expensive!
pede na yan pang DOTA and PvZ haha
Now if only it didn’t chow on power that much…
That expensive card’s hot and draws much power. It may be fast, but not really efficient.
Sir Abe, iparaffle niyo GTX275 card niyo. hehe
Sir Yuga pa-raffle mo din ung GTX275 mo hehe :P
@jabo: p-h-p-2-5-0-0-0, video card! :D
spell video card?!
Saw it the flesh…
Just few minutes ago at Yugatech’s HQ!
is this more better than the NVIDIA quadro??
Gezz!!! I wish I could have one! men this is really great!
