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

[bhavv]

Rumour has it from Semiaccurate that as of today, there are precisely 200 GTX480 and GTX470 in the whole of Europe for sale. Whether that is a 50/50 split so there are 100 GTX 480's, who knows.

This rumor is incorrect. Semiaccutate stated that two of Nvidias minor AIBs had 100 cards each for europe, but thats not including the other AIBs. Asus / EVGA and other major ones would recieve a lot more.

They said that the total number of Fermis available on launchday worldwide would be 8000.

Sorry off topic.... but Martini ? Noted the spec in your sig. and wondered wether the move to 2 x ssd's in raid 0 was well worth it or not?


Also to comment that after a total of approx. 72 hrs (over 2 weekends) have just now ,finally, completed downloading Dirt 2. And people have the nerve to suggest that our download speeds are slow ??!!

 

[Higadeb]

So, no-one has one yet? Shame, I was hoping to see some first impressions

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

Actually I think you are mistaking trolls for "PC enthusiasts" lol

I've got a 480!

It came bundled with Duke Nukem Forever.





Sorry...

 

[no_1_dave]

Why is everyone ordering the Asus. A lot of people will be disappointed!
I ordered a POV 470 last week, phoned OCUK today to check if they had arrived as I had no internet at work.
OCUK said only a couple of POV ones have been pre-ordered so I am guaranteed one but a lot of Asus ones have.
The only difference is warranty but I wont be keeping it over 2 years anyway...

They want voltage tweak on their GTX 480's

LOL!! And why would any sensible person just put those issues aide!??

"Putting aside his ****e policies and bad performance in office, Gordon Brown IS the greatest politician in the world!"

"Putting aside its high cost, poor fuel economy, and lack of load space, the Bugatti Veyron IS the most practical family car available!"

But please - let's not go there (again). I have several posts in this thread and dont want them gone when it degenerates and gets deleted - I'm trying to get into the MM

I'd imagine there aren't many people ordered 470s to be honest.

sorry still a noob.

The only place where the GTX470 makes sense is in America, I can't believe how badly were getting screwed over AGAIN.
