New GTX Pricing revealed Is it true?
Here you go:

"Computer gaming enthusiasts fans of Nvidia are probably already readying their wallets for the upcoming announcement of the new GTX 480 and GTX 470 video card models. Even though they’re supposed to be announced about a week from now, some details about the two devices were already released.


The GTX 480 will cost $499, and will feature a total of 480 shader processors, a 384-bit interface working with 1.5 GB GDDR5 RAM, and the whole thing will be clocked at 700 MHz, 1.401 MHz, and 1.848 MHz for the core, shaders, and the memory.

The GTX 470, on the other hand, uses 446 processors, somewhat slower clock speeds, and a 320-bit memory interface. This will be the more budget-sensitive model, costing $349, a significant drop from the GTX 480. The cards have pretty good TDPs too, sporting 225W for the lesser model and 295W for the high-end one."

Just google it. :mellow:

The extent to which it's been reported would probably suggest that it's true. We don't know for sure though.

I'll be pretty happy if it is true. The 470 would probably be about £250 over here, which is great.

Is it worth getting a 480 for the price difference? I am upgrading from a 9800GT 1GB.

Can I use that 9800GT for Physx in a PCI-e x 1 spot?

Yes, that is the latest rumored specs & pricing and seems to come from reliable sources, but until March 26th everything is PURE SPECULATION and subject to change.

Adam, unfortunately the prices don't usually work that way -- if the MSRP is US$499 they'll likely also be introduced in the UK for £499. Again, that's just speculation, but that's usually how it works.

The GTX 295 costs about $500 in the US, doesn't it? You can get them for just under £300 here...

I have heard rumors suggest that you will need a certain type of power supply for these cards. Anyone hear about that? Something like 24 watts per rail or something?

I seriously doubt they are going to cost 500 pounds over the UK as only the Queen could afford one, and I think she's more of an ATI fan anyway.

We are just recovering at a world record low level from a recession over here, It would be truely madness if they did that.

Nvidia have established outlets over here so that the price doesn't increase with all the shipping costs involved, etc

They'll go for around the same price over here as they will go for in the US after currency conversion(and probably some other small fee's), I'm guesing 350-360, that's what the past batch of newly released high-end cards went for out of recession.

I think if Nvidia releases it at 500 its not going to do well. Esp when it's competition 5870 2GB version is cheaper and the 5970 is about 60 dollars more for about 35% more performance (at least as it is a dual-gpu card).

If it was around 419-449 that would be a good price.

Define what you mean by "is it worth it?"

Both the GTX 470 and the GTX 480 are showing up in leaked benchmarks as significantly >10% faster than a 5870... So compared to the current pricing on ATI cards, the new nvidia Fermis are worth every penny..

In performance for your money, yes the GTX 470 gives more performance per dollar than the GTX 480.. But when you're buying a GTX 480, you're not buying it to get the most for your money, you're buying it to own the fastest single GPU video card in the world..

Edit: Yes you can use a 9800GT for PhysX, but PhysX really isn't that demanding to really *need* to make it a separate card.. You'd be just fine running everything off of a GTX 400 series card..

Edit #2: [url="http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=23032"]Leaked benchmarks from a broken NDA [/url] (Can I post this here? Probably not, but I'm new here so I don't know)

People are paying $500 for the GTX 295 all the time. So.. $500 for the new 480 is nothing. I will buy it sooner then later. /starwars.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':starwars:' />

That was the answer I was looking for. Thanks. What I meant buy is it worth it was should I spend extra to get the GTX480. According to your response, I will stick to the GTX 470. That way I don't have to sleep with one eye opened (wife).
