Internal benchmarks reveal that GeForce GTX 470 is some 5-10% faster than Radeon HD 5850 and similiar for GeForce GTX 480 over the Radeon HD 5870.
bad news for them if this is really true at $349 and $499, respectively.
That depends on how you look at it. Right out of the window, they can claim to have the fastest single GPU card on the market if 5-10% claim holds true. This is before the drivers begin to mature. Of course, we'll need to see some legit reviews first pitting it against AMD's top offerings that are currently available. I'm in for a single GTX 480 though by. Just not at launch. Will probably be in May.
I think it will all be decided on what you want to do - 3D or Eyefinity.
1 for me too!1 gtx 470 please
I hope the 10% thing isn't true. I've already got a 5870 that does 1030|1300.
No way I'd bother spending near 500usd on a 480 if that's all I get.
120 dollars more for 10% more performance? doesnt seem like a good deal to me.
In September one could have bought 2x hd 5850 for $520, which at these numbers will severely dismantle the gtx 480 performance.
This of course all hinges on these numbers being accurate, which is still far from a certainty.
The 5850 & 5870 were not very good at launch in terms of performance so it's the same case scenario. The cards did have 3 things going for it though. Price per performance, DX 11 & Eyefinity. AMD's pricing structure is a result of not having much of a choice as they were getting a pretty good beatdown by Nvidia prior to the R800 series. To simplify, they had to undercut the competition to move there product. The same can be said for there CPU line.
I expect the performance of the GTX 470/480 to improve overtime as new revision of drivers are released. Which is a common scenario with GPU's. The difference between the catalyst 9.10 & catalyst 10.3 is very noticable in terms of performance & benchmarks. Give the GTX 470/480 some time to mature & I am certain that the performance from it will justify the price tags.

Both companies are releasing drivers that will allow both.
While this is true, the one distinction is the AMD boards can support triple monitor with one board. The Fermi boards still only support dual outputs, so a triple monitor setup will require two in SLI.
Is that 64 extra sp really worth the 150 bucks though?
