Nvidia has its first two video cards based on the Fermi-architecture introduced. The GeForce GTX470 and GTX480 are high-end cards to compete with the ATI Radeon HD 5850 and HD 5870. The launch was a long time of speculation, rumors and pre-delay. Nvidia would have had many problems with the production of its GF100-chip with a size of 529mm ². The GF100 is produced in 40nm and is based on the completely new Fermiarchitecture.

The GeForce GTX470 and GTX480 have clock speeds of 607MHz and 700MHz with, while successively 320bit memory bus and 384bit wide. The amount of the GDDR5 memory is 1280MB and 1536MB cards and the speeds are 3348MHz and 3696Mhz. The TDP's 215W and 250W, respectively. This is what the clock speeds higher and lower than the TDP's what the rumors predicted.

The GTX480 performs generally better than its direct competitor AMD, the ATI Radeon HD 5870 in late September last year, but the difference does not seem sufficient to justify the price difference. The cards also consume significantly more energy, which results in a higher heat. The cooler temperatures do reasonably under control, but is taking quite a bit of noise. In addition, the HD 5970 is well faster than the GTX480, and almost as much energy fuel, at a relatively low additional cost.

GeForce GTX470 and GTX480, based on the GT300 graphics processors with the architecture of NVIDIA Fermi. Of course, while no information about the characteristics of potential new products there, as well as information about their performance, which could be trusted. However, many times appeared the view that the unique architecture of NVIDIA Fermi allow developers to produce adapters with record high performance.

According to the network media adapters GeForce GTX 470 and GeForce GTX 480, which are, incidentally, the first product NVIDIA technology to support DirectX 11, will be available no earlier than April 12. The reasons which pushed for a similar move by NVIDIA, is not known, but it is expected that their number may be recent changes to the BIOS and cooling mechanism.
