GTX 580 listed for 399 pounds ???

[allanmcnish]

Green team never thinks for green budget as ATI did.... market shift might teach them a Lession !!
for me GTX 580 is at 555$ which is high.... if they understand GTX 570 customers cud shift on 580 if price was little lower...
Also 470 in SLI can beat 580 in less price ~!!
Can any one tell me how much performance we are expecting for 28nm cards and will they share same price??
so wait or not?

as a GTX 460 owner, there is no reason not to go for the 6870. I wish I had waited a couple weeks and got it.

Furthermore, are you looking for a new card?
If so, what is your budget? it's what makes the difference

There is no reason to go for the HD6870, i can only say not to go for it if you were an nVidia fanboy.

1+1=2... so your an nVidia fanboy....

Nope!

£400 would seem about right I guess, if a GTX580 is 15-20% faster than a GTX480.

Why did they not just call it a GTX485?

Because it's a different GPU, GF110 not GF100b.

 

[hell_storm2004]

^^I guess to make it sound more next gen and compete. These things are small things which the companies put a lot of time into.

 

[hell_storm2004]

^^What???

 

[hell_storm2004]

Because it's a different GPU, GF110 not GF100b.

But isn't the GTX480 and GTX460 on different chips?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Yes they are, GF100 and GF104 respectively. From what I've seen so far with leaked roadmaps and such it seems as though the 5xx series might be on GF11x GPU's whilst the 4xx series were on GF1xx GPU's. If that is the case then the 6xx series GPU numbers might all be GF12x and so on.

 

[allanmcnish]

what is your budget?
well, as i am in India so tax will be much more and ASUS GTX 470 costs here nearly 460$
so i can go for that much.... ~500$
but current one looks like it will be for 660$ i am pretty sure !

Ok! Thanks for the info.

@dipankar: I think we can precede a proper noun with an! I am not quite sure about this. Have to check it out.

 

[hell_storm2004]

^^Naa. You can get the GTX470 for something around 19000 INR. Which is something around $425. But it depends on which city you are in.

Grammar.Hint (Vowel).

I knew i was correct in the use of my Grammer!

Got it clarified from an english forum! Although the clarification is coming from a different angle.

and i am sure GTX 580 will be at 33000INR and i got only 24000INR so it looks i can get GTX 570.......

 

[hell_storm2004]

^^Are you sure about that price. Even the HD5850 sells around 15000 INR.

Just search for "GTX 470" in there.

lol... ur site is showing even less price, its priced at Rs.14350 and see thats y i was shocked coz of sudden 200$ jump... just scared me! i was about to buy it.. and boy i wud be crying now if i did...

 

[hell_storm2004]

Oh.. the Zotac one. Man... this is great! But i don't regard that brand too highly. For nVidia i would prefer, eVGA, Asus, MSI anyday.

 

[renz496]

lol. a bit off topic?

some sites claim the card will price at USD499.

Yeah, the US gets it for way less than us and they still complain.

 

[renz496]

i'd expect the price might go a bit lower when Cayman is out. or maybe not. it all depends on how Cayman going to pressure 580. honestly this GPU war is interesting

So true!!
