Oh dear at the leapfrogging comments. Late, does not equal on a different timeline or road map. It means late.
Of course nvidia would have "tacked on" dx11 if they could have easily but they couldn't. Unlike ATI who obviously could. Wonder who had the better thought out architecture.
Of course that would be wrong as it makes nvidia look like they screwed up which they can't have.
dont think that is confirm, sounds like a FUD to me...
unless its officially announced, I talk it as a rumor...
OK, some first hand info, but my source is still under NDA, so not much in-depth details.
GTX470 is ~10% faster than stock HD5870, benched in Crysis.
The noise level under load is similar to GTX285 -- noticeable but not irritating.
Yah i believe fellix too, but he doesn't say what resolution. Probably 30" with AA for 10% faster
Three different sources with matching Crysis Warhead benchmarks:
Lol! I'm tempted to draw me some pretty graphs and place them randomly around the net.

Been reported.
Yeah, I reported it too right off.
Fresh off the rumor mills (very much a rumor) from Czech forum by a poster "OBR" who has often posted reliable rumors in the past (part posted here: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=249263 part on the czech forum which I can't read due to language barrier) is that the GTX 480 may be BIOS unlockable to 512 cores as they didn't have time to fuse the shaders off physically due to the last-minute spec change, and that they overclock well. He claims per someone on XS that he has a BIOS in-hand that does so.
That would be extremely interesting... .

Wow. So either A3 is yielding a lot better than Charlie says, or Nvidia has something up their sleeve and the GF100 will be rather short lived.

10% at what rates though? If it's 10% faster but both are unplayable, that doesn't mean a whole lot...
Of course, if the 5870 2GB editions come out and the 2GB becomes a difference maker, we'll all know what was the bottleneck
linkthe rumormill said:According to the sources at hand, nVidia was only able to produce a lowly board figure with 512 cores enabled [low 10s of thousands], thus there was a situation with potential shortage and a media and market backlash. The company acted upon the situation at hand and limited the number of cores, radically increasing the amount of functional GF100 dies. As a result, there should be more than 50,000 Fermi boards [this may not be the final figure, as we could not contact all AIC vendors and OEMs] available in the first 10 days of sales.
I heard they padlocked the extra cores and you need to pick it.....

Remember, GPU generations are designed in parallel. NVidia and ATI have already started work on their next-next-generation of GPUs, if not further down the line than that.
If A3 yields were much better why would they cut cores so close to launch?
I bet the 512 "unlockable" versions will be a bit more than the regular 480 shader versions.
It was about 70-80 more for an FTW over the regular 280 2 years ago. Using that basis, if eVGA DOES release a 512 shader version, I expect it to run about 150 more per card.
I want 2 of those..
You'll need a dedicated power plant to pull that off.
Looking forward to more hard data on these soon.
Bill Gates and Toshiba want to put a mini-nuclear reactor in every home. Ahhhh! We are all gonna die!
Hold on a second..... It's all starting to make sense now
is it a coincidence that they announce this right before Fermi launches?!?!
