By now, we all know that NVIDIA’s flagship GeForce GTX 480 is a powerful graphics card. For most systems, it provides a lot more GPU muscle than is even necessary, but that’s OK with us. We’re sure there are many enthusiasts out there that consider overkill a good thing. Unfortunately, the card in its reference [...]

In order to keep the hype going until NVIDIA comes out with a new chip, MSI is working on some new cards that should show up pretty soon and give its competition a run for its money. MSI is going to launch a custom version of GTX 480 and GTX 460 cards and names like [...]

All signs suggest that NVIDIA is finally getting close to unleashing a full-fat 512-core GeForce GTX 480, and we’ve already seen the leaked PCB. Here’s now something equally as interesting: leaked benchmarks. The folks at Chinese website Expreview.com who claim to have the unannounced card have put it through a few simple tests to illustrate [...]

Earlier this week we previewed the performance of 512SP GeForce GTX 480. Expreview has grabbed some additional benchmarks on it, in which you can see how it performs against the ordinary GTX 480. The drivers used were Forceware 258.96. The screenshot indicates that this card features 512 CUDA cores and default clocks.

It seems all of the latest news surrounding NVIDIA and its partners these days pertains to the GTX 460 launch. While this is a pretty impressive product for its price point, we have seen interest of course shift away from the high end NVIDIA products. Now that the GTX 480 has been out for four [...]

One more photo was spotted at expreview, a new GeForce GTX 480 model that features the full 512 shaders processors. The card has the same frequencies on core, shaders and memory as the reference GeForce GTX 480. As the screenshot shows, the yellow tantalum capacitors cover the PCB , the card uses a 8 phase [...]

Although the NVIDIA GeForce 400 series has been out for about 2 months now, it’d seem the jury is still out on whether or not the series is a success. Some will tell you the GeForce GTX 480 is a power-hungry expensive GPU that failed to deliver, while others claim it lived up to the [...]

The GeForce GTX 460 was easily the most well received Fermi-based graphics card to come from NVIDIA thus far; using the GF104 GPU that was tweaked slightly to target the graphics markets rather than the high-performance computing fields the GTX 460 turned out to be more power efficient compared to AMD’s GPUs. Add to that [...]

Point of View known for its range of NVIDIA based 3D Graphics cards, Netbooks and other PC products, announces today a brand new line up of Factory overclocked Graphics cards. The POINT OF VIEW TGT Series are hand selected high end models of individually overclocked Graphics Cards. For a couple of weeks a specialized European [...]

After treating the enthusiast community to the Republic of Gamers (ROG) ARES Dual HD 5870 graphics accelerator, ASUS isn’t wasting any time is designing its successor, referred to (for now) as “MARS II”. This graphics accelerator uses two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 (GF100) GPUs on one board, that’s right, the first dual-GPU accelerator based on [...]

Recently we revisited the battle between the high-end NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 and ATI Radeon HD 5000 graphics cards series using updated drivers and a new testing method that saw us abolish all time demos. The results were a little unexpected, as the GeForce GTX 480 delivered results that were closer to the Radeon HD [...]

When the NVIDIA GTX-480 hit the shelves we saw a lot of sites reporting what we considered high temperatures on the GPU. A lot of those sites were relying on Furmark and chose not to game for hours on end in a variety of games and get thermal readings that way. We can understand the [...]

When we first reviewed the new GeForce GTX 480 and 470 graphics cards back in March one of the few things we left short in our discussion was the possibility of running a pair of the cards in SLI. We touched on it briefly, but only in passing and we really wanted to spend some [...]

EVGA expanded its GeForce GTX 480 lineup with a new SuperClocked+ variant. Introduced with the GeForce 200 series, SuperClocked+ (SC+) is originally a factory overclock level that’s between SC and SSC, but in case of the GTX 480, the SC+ has the same clock speeds as SC, with a few added features that might help [...]

Although the NVIDIA GeForce 400 series has been out for about 2 months now, it’d seem the jury is still out on whether or not the series is a success. Some will tell you the GeForce GTX 480 is a power-hungry expensive GPU that failed to deliver, while others claim it lived up to the [...]

Galaxy displayed a new GeForce GTX 480 graphics card that uses non-reference design PCB and cooling. The unique selling point here is a cooler that Galaxy claims to be superior than the reference, making use of the Vapor-chamber technology for quickly transferring heat off the GPU to the heatsink. It also features a very Gundam-styled [...]

The GeForce GTX 480 is an interesting product, grand performance, DirectX 11 compatible, high image quality and a very rich feature set. The downsides however is its heat and noise levels. It’s what is holding back a lot of consumers out there to purchase a product of this caliber. With a recent BIOS update NVIDIA [...]

While every NVIDIA GPU since GeForce 8 series, with over 256 MB of memory supports the CUDA GPU compute technology, and with it PhysX GPU acceleration, the prospect of dedicated GPUs for computing PhysX interests many, especially enthusiasts, after NVIDIA stopped production of the PhysX processor from erstwhile Ageia. EVGA first devised a graphics card [...]
