Thread: NVIDIA Get Force 470 analyze

There were inviting bits and parts shown at the GPU Technology association and after at CES but the rumor mill proceeded to spin and cast question on all from the chip plan to the producing barriers. What it all moves down to is rather than push a product out the door that only wasn’t prepare NVIDIA has expected till they nailed down nearly all view of the GF100 before publishing the last product. For better or bad the initial day in the life of this new poster child starts.

Nowadays that the GTX 400 series is considering the light of day later so many months behind closed doors and literally iron-clad NDAs everybody from board partners to users are eventually resting a deep sigh of sculpture. In a DX11 market that is presently prevailed by ATI’s HD 5000-series we have checked very little downwards occurrence in the cost of graphics cards over the last seven months.

There have really been cost raises which were smartly concealed as a direction to still out production shortfalls so the media and users didn’t separate them as easy cash grabs. With NVIDIA investing in a indicating later all this time consumers may lastly be able to profit from several competition.

The 480-core GTX 480 will pretend the pretense of a flagship product and take the lead against the present prevailing single GPU champion the HD 5870. The high end market is where the GTX 480 will compete for dominance. On the flip side of the coin it looks like NVIDIA is also directing the profitable $300 to $400 market that was antecedently the undisputed stomping ground for ATI’s really popular HD 5850.

The GTX 470 will start at a aggressive $349 USD which translates into a mere ten percentage price premium over ATI’s present price and performance leader. From where we stand finding pricing like this is very promoting but it also opens up a huge $150 chasm among the two 400-series cards which will hopefully be connected by over clocked GTX 470 products.
