The official GeForce GTX 480 videocard discussion thread.

In the end though, the GeForce GTX 480 is a graphics card that kicks ass, it is without doubt the fastest single GPU based graphics card on the block. The performance is grand and impressive and well, it's just a sick card to play all modern games with at any resolution or image quality preference.

(~ Guru3D)

Finally, as we asked in the title, was it worth the wait? No, probably not. A 15% faster single-GPU card is appreciated and we're excited to see both AMD and NVIDIA once again on competitive footing with each other, but otherwise with much of Fermi's enhanced abilities still untapped, we're going to be waiting far longer for a proper resolution anyhow. For now we're just happy to finally have Fermi, so that we can move on to the next step.

(~ Anandtech)

The GTX 480 isn't necessarily a resounding success but we consider it to be a good stepping stone towards some much needed competition in the DX11 marketplace. It's a great performer in exactly the areas where it will be most utilized while being backed up by an extremely respectable price. But, it just doesn't deliver the much-needed knock-out blow to ATI's offerings. The main problem we see is understandably high expectations which may be tempered by NVIDIA's failure in two areas: to deliver a flagship product that fully utilizes the architecture's full, 512-core potential and actually launch the card with real retail volume in Q1 2010. Instead, it looks like we will still be waiting to see what this architecture can really offer with 512 cores and potential customers may not get their cards for another two weeks. To us, this isn't exactly the greatest way to kick off the next generation.

Let me know if you find more reviews

That's a LOT of links. Never saw something like this.

I wait untill nVidia launchs a version with 512 "CUDA-Cores"
