Nvidia GTX480

Introduction!

Nvidia has released their newest GTX480, they are calling it the fastest card ever produced, beating their previous single chip champion the GTX285 by just over 80% not to mention their 295. this card can punch out record speeds and has some very nice DX11/Physx features.


With all this said, many people are far from impressed, with the main fault being temperature. This card fans out close to 90-100*c in a well ventilated case with the temperature threshold (cut off point) being 105*c, as some reviewers have reported. this is concerning, seeing the fate of many 8 series cards these days, which have had a good 3-4 year lifespan come to an end due to heat stress, this series only ran just over 70*c in most cases, using this as supporting evidence, many critics are predicting heat related issues with the new series.






Our Verdict!

The good:

- Very powerful, huge increase in performance over Nvidia's previous series and a firm lead in front of the card behind it.
- Nice tessellation performance, great DX11 job.
- Supports 3D vision.


The Bad:
- Runs extremely hot!
- High price, $/value ratio may vary between people.

What we say:

insane power, insane price, insane temperatures. only one word describes it... we would prefer to wait a little, for a refined version, like the 280-285 change.
