***THE OFFICIAL GTX480/470 END USER REVIEW THREAD***

My fingers went crazy and clicked buy for a Point Of View GTX 480 :D
I play rfactor with the mods, and tried it with my bothers 5870, but didn't run as well as i liked with the aa maxed out, like it did on my other 285.
but from what i read, the ati don't work as well compared to the nvidia cards with this game!!.
i think apart from that, the 5*** cards are exellent cards when playing other games.

As i only really play rfactor, (bfc2 at times) i just hope this new card does the job via rfactor. :p
lame excuse :D
 
Since the other thread has pretty much turned into a troll feast, I think I'll repost the test results for GTX480 from Custom PC here:

So it seems that GTX480 do better than HD5870 with as AA get higher. Shame that no GTX470 results until next issue.
