***Official OMG I've finally got my 480/470 thread***

[barakobama]

Just goes to show how much the shops your buying from want your cash tbh.

They have all advertised early and seta launch day , lol i even had one guy at **** tell me that

"fermi is being recalled problems with heat" tbh i know the shops that are selling these products dont have clue when they will get them in stock.

LOL i think the only people worth buying from now are the actual companys that make the item that your after.

Screw shops , screw online stores. Im gonne buy it from EVGA direct

I wish people would stop saying predict and just say guess, which is what you're doing.

You forgot this:

[/word usage pedant]

Wouldn't want it to carry on into your next post

 

[Cosimo]

So, 65 posts into the official omg got my fermi thread, and nothing.

Just wait until someone posts a real review then the silly fanboys will start all over again.

I predict this thread will become a fanboy slanging match and get deleted before anyone actually gets a 480/470, so this in fact won't be the ***Official OMG I've finally got my 480/470 thread*** thread at all

^this

OCUK have completely sold out so some of you must have been snapping them up unless we re-classify the release of GTX400 from a paper launch to vapour launch.

 

[Aurhinius]

check the ETA though... i.e they didn't get any stock today.

Which fanboys? from many Graphics Cards related threads within these forums I can only see ATI Fanboys and Nvidia Fanboys slagging each other off:eek
Many here really do need to get a life

You must have been reading it wrong...it is pretty much a one-sided trolling from the ATI fanboys toward Nvidia lol

Hope you see your card soon, you been waiting long enough as it is, keep hassling them for updates on stock.

 

[Duran]

I'd love to hear the numbers of pre-orders OCUK have at the moment, I'd love even more to know the numbers of cards they get in total this week, vs the first week of 5870 stock and the number of cards on pre-order for 5850/5870/5970 today vs the 480/470gtx's.

are you sure you want to know that? because i have very disappointing news for you http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=16246873&postcount=478

Ain't that his point? Wait for anyone that says they got one, and then go "ha haa~" at them?

Depends on your point of view. I have a requirement for Linux support...

Granted, the Linux market is small in comparison to windows but for Linux users the fact remains that there is no viable hardware acceleration available to you if you buy ATI.

Availability is going to be a problem for getting one of these cards, but even if I bought a 295 or a 285, I would have a faster solution than ATI; because with the current state of Linux drivers, ATI has *no* solution.

The current situation for the consumer gfx card market sucks for consumers on all platforms. ATI can price gouge because Nvida have a paper product and can't compete on volume/price and if your on a non Windows platform your only stable option is Nvidia, and there's a real shortage of choice.

Totally agree

I think basically it maybe down to many who wanted DX11 cards went for the ATI brand as they were the first to have dx11 and now what we are seeing are many being biased.

I guess if the GTX480 got released first it may of been the other way around

But there does appear to be masses amounts of trolling in these forums which is a shame
Are these Trolls ATI employees

Dont mistake as trolling just the vast majority of PC enthusiasts quite rightly slating Nvidia for having a bit of a dog of a product and a total farce of a launch of the said product.

Disapproval /= fanboy trolling. The one-sidedness you're seeing just reflects the relative performance of Ati and Nvidia in the high-end market right now. Nobody (but fanboys) actually wants it to be like this, as the lack of competition and availability is skewing prices upwards for everyone .
