XFX Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 Video Card Available For Pre-Order Today!
By
It looks like the XFX NVIDIA GTX 480 is available for pre-order this morning at SabrePC for $679.99! The GeForce GTX 480 is listed as having 2GB of GDDR5 memory, but no other specifications are mentioned. This is the very first GF100 ‘Fermi’ based video card that we have seen come up for pre-order. Could this mean that a launch is less than a month away?
NVIDIA has released little pieces of information about GF100 on social networking sites the past few months and here is what we have been able to figure out so far
- GF100 is the codename for the first GeForce GPU based on the Fermi architecture!
- GF in GF100 stands for Graphics Fermi not GeForce!
- The GF100 board is 10.5-inches long — the same length as GeForce GTX 200 Series graphics cards!
- GF100 packs in over 3B (billion!) transistors!
- The GF100 supports full hardware decode on the GPU for 3D Blu-Ray!
- GF100 graphics cards will provide hardware support for GPU overvoltaging for extreme overclocking!
- GF100 supports a brand new 32x anti-aliasing mode for ultra high-quality gaming!
- GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470 will be the names of the first two GPUs shipped based on our new GF100 chip
