GeForce GTX 480/470 available in limited quantities at launch (rumor)?
February 26, 2010
NVIDIA is set to launch its next generation (codenamed Fermi) GeForce GTX 480 and 470 on March 26, but while that is supposed to be a "hard launch" (product is available on the same day for purchase), industry watchers are wondering whether quantities will be (very) limited. Digitimes claims that second-tier partners (those who build AMD and NVIDIA cards, versus NVIDIA-only) have not received any reference design boards yet. May be so, but it looks to me like NVIDIA wants to rewards its first-tier partners for their loyalty, so the quantity issue might be a little overblown. The $679.99 price of the GTX 480 would indicate that NVIDIA will claim the speed crown (by how much?) when it launches, and at that price, I don't think that volume is going to be a problem anyway...

It will sell for under the $80 banner while boasting a maximum of 1GB of onboard GDDR3 RAM alongside a 650MHz core clock speed, sipping a mere 43W of juice under a full load. Any takers?
