GeForce GTX 480 : 480 SP, 700/1401/1848MHz core/shader/mem, 384-bit, 1536MB, 250W TDP, US$499
GeForce GTX 470 : 448 SP, 607/1215/1674MHz core/shader/mem, 320-bit, 1280MB, 225W TDP, US$349
Also being reported on at Dailytech. (link)

Interestingly many tech sites are running with the specs/MSRPs despite them being unverified leaks.

$100 more for the GTX480 for 5-10% more performance then the 5870 no thanks. And on top of that no triple screen with one card.

Although there still are no real numbers but if this is true then well...

According to a german site who said they got official data from NVIDIA but can't yet announce them due to the NDA, these values are partly wrong. o__O

Well dunno what to say about that, but the german site is one of the No 1 news sites in germany:

You sure about that because I just read the link you just posted and everything was the same. So what did you see that I missed that was partly wrong?

And they both link to each other as well.

there are way more reasons to pick a 5870 or 5970 over a gtx480, its a no brainer to the smart consumer, tripple monitors, better overclocking potential, lower price, less power consumption, it ma, it may be more powerful when 10.4 drivers are released. i really dont see why anyone would buy that over priced card with unknown results.

I just wonder if the 512 > 480 SP and 295 > 250 TDP go hand and hand if they couldn't live with the juice but made up for it with a higher gpu clock .. kind of like what Ati has done with the 5830

Anyone know if those prices are ANYWHERE close?

I am willing to bet the 5890 single Gpu card from ATi is not far away, and i'm also convinced that card will beat the GTX 480 if any of the rumors hold true about 480's performance over the 5870. If the fermi cards turn out to be bad overclockers Ati will have them beat. My 2 cents, and this is total speculation.

I think a no brainer for the smart consumer would be to wait the week or so until launch and not make any buying decisions based on unsubstantiated and unverified rumors......

The prices and clocks are probably close, I was thinking that the 480 would be closer to 750Mhz core though.. And 675 or so for the 470.

It probably would have been but the GF100 runs hotter than everyone expected it to, if the stock cooler is any indication (witch it should be) that this card runs hot.

Ur jest jelius, that thing is hawt, not hot....much cooler lookin than that bike in your sig.

lol that would be one expensive skid mark, pics or it didnt happen!

Was the NDA lifted?  If not then I wouldn't put too much faith in anything you read until that happens.

the gtx470 is 5-10% faster, not the 480. if we assume that those specs are correct the 480 is 34% faster than 5870.

Really?  A 'smart consumer'?

What if you run Unix?  What if you are buying Tesla cards based on Fermi to build a supercomputer? 

Helllooooooooooo McFly.........there are other things that matter to 'smart consumers'.  Gamers are NOT the only consumers in the computing market.  I know...it's a shock.

Christ...doesn't anyone do anything but game around here?

I largely agree with that.  Members here have a tendency to make a lot of universal generalizations.  The reality is that every consumer is going to have specific wants and needs.  While in many cases, you can make a generalizations, it's dumb to make an assumption that all people in a market act the same way.  Let's face it, until f@home releases an impressive ati client, ati distributes an effective physx platform, and ati provides better workstation cards, Nvidia will dominate those sectors of needs.  A smart consumer is one who takes his own needs into account, then compares price/performance based on those needs.  A person wanting to run 5 monitors for non-gaming needs is not going to need 3 cards that can each get 20k in vantage with each individual card; instead, they'll look at lower end cards.  Beyond that, a smart consumer will also factor in his/her own biases; if he/she prefers nvidia cards, he/she may be willing to spend an extra $100 for an nvidia card vs. an ATI card, but.....he/she may not be willing to pay $150 extra for that performance.  Ultimately, a smart consumer is one who determines his/her needs in a product, factors in his/her own inherent biases and wants, sets a fixed limit for how much he/she is willing to spend, researches for the most effective product to fits those wants and needs, reevaluates his/her spending limit in light of that research, and then weighs the necessary costs between spending the least amount for what is needed and the additional costs for biases and wants.  After that, a person *should* make the correct decision.  Sometimes, that may mean ATI and sometimes Nvidia for different people.  It may mean a high-end card or it may mean a low-end card.  Regardless, smart consumers are characterized by their thought processes and their adherence to the results that their thought processes create. 

The release date is coming in just a few days. Please be patient everyone. I know there is a lot of excitement about these two great NVIDIA products.

Thanks Nord for elaborating in a more eloquent manner what I was hinting at (well, I'm not really subtle :P).

I'll add one more thing: a really smart consumer would wait just over a week to make sure he/she had all the details before making any decision on a product that has no official performance numbers published.

How true. I've seen in the past months in these forums people saying "i couldn't wait for more  than 5-10% performance so i took an 5870". I'm just fine with anyone purchases as it's not my money. But making a decision based on ... well it's based on nothing it's just speculation, i can defenetlly say that isn't smart thinking.
