You'll also find the 42 of 42A later on is in a different font as well, so what? Someone changed the spec on the print. But it must be a photo-shop ooh.

Yes it must.

Tons of GTX280 models state they require 42A....the reference GTX 285 requires 42A.....seriously, why are people making such a big deal about this? Did they really expect Nvidia's big monolithic launch model to be an eco-warrior's dream card?

Because they are ATI fanboys

Looks more like an upsidedown "9" to me.

Actually, the whole "600" appears to be printed in a different font to the rest of the text. It is also misaligned.

Could just be cheap Chinese printing

Strawberry · 2 Mar 2010 at 15:21

Yes the 600 looks edited.

Probably because the bulk of the text was printed up before they had the wattage rating.

hate these guys obsessed with runnign crysis bench marks and getting highest FPS, who really cares if you get 30fps or 70, cant believe that dude said he gest 66fps now and if it gets more than 70 he will sell up and get one, WHATTAFOCK..... spend it on getting a bird drunk lad facking hell

This is the GFX forum, WTF you doing here if your not interested in performance, trolling?? now you can go get laid somemore, now run along he's waiting.

Strawberry · 2 Mar 2010 at 15:38

Yes, the GFX forum is home to elitists.

shanezog · 2 Mar 2010 at 15:38

But saying you will sell up and get a card for 4 FPS in a game is ****ing insane on so many levels..

Why do you need to get birds drunk? Does it make them more aimeable to a man with lesser performing hardware

?

Best way when you got a small willy and permaturely ejaculate lol

shanezog · 2 Mar 2010 at 15:42

You must admit though, no way is spending £400 on a grpaics card to get 4 extra FPS in a game which no one ever plays just seems to run benchmarks and post up there FPS to increase there e-peen is not right at all......

Not trolling just speaking the truth, if you had a dire PC and wanted an upgrade i could see it but selling a 5870 2 get 1 ????? LOL.

So why not use the money to increase the size of your e-peen?

darkwildchild79 · 2 Mar 2010 at 15:45

hi guy, i am a newbie to this forum, and i thought i could come in and introduce my name, cant wait until that card is released, would love to do a test run or even see some benchmark results.....

does anyone know when is the released date???

Strawberry · 2 Mar 2010 at 15:48

26th March, but I wouldn't count on being able to actually get one by that date.

It all depends on how much disposable income you have. If you're earning £25k PA then I guess it's a big purchase. At £250k PA it's probably not a big deal... (I don't earn anywhere near that in case anyone thinks I'm trying to brag or anything!).

A better question would be... Why spend £200+ on an upgrade to Fermi (considering what he'll get back from selling the 5870), when you could get a second 5870 instead? Surely that would be a better price to performance tradeoff?

shanezog · 2 Mar 2010 at 15:55

Well if he's on 250k get 2 of em, ya gotta work hard for that kind of money but some how i doubt it.

Got a client round, ciao

I paid like £440 for an 8800gtx on launch day and £460 for a gtx 280 on launch day. So I guess I expect paying up to £500 on launch day for a gtx 480. Sell the gtx 280 for about £150-£200 and it's not such a big purchase.
