XFX GeForce GTX 480, GTX 470 Pictures Leaked

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Ready for more box shots? We thought so... but this time we have some full frontal of hardware for you to feast your eyes on too!

As we inch closer to Nvidia's official launch of Fermi next week, it's only natural that we start seeing more details leak out from OEM product partners.

We know that most of you are clamoring for more scrumptious box shots, but as a bonus today we've also come across on Chinese site Expreview (translated) some full-frontal pictures of XFX's GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 cards.

Just one more week of holding your breath until Nvidia officially reveals these cards for all the world to see!

Are you sure there aren't any minors viewing this?

you probably need a nuclear powerplant to run one lol

Damn, at least it looks sexy.

I stopped holding my breath two months ago, and got a couple 5770's. From the sounds of it I made the right decision.

I'm tired of Tom's hyping of everyone for nVidia. Did you do this for ATI? No, I didn't think so.

Hopefully all the more recent rumors are wrong and the GTX 480 is at least 20% faster than the 5870, because if nothing else that is an awesome looking heatsink.

It's all about the stability - sick of my ATI vertical line/grey screen crashes. My old Nvidia never crashed this much - heck no video card I owned in the last 10 years crashed so much as my ATI 5770, and I am not the only one with this issue - just read the official ati forums - it's a nightmare.

I have to imagine there's a snowflake's chance in hell that the GTX 480 will outperform a 5870 with the most recent drivers by 2x (or more) nVidia's "official" benchmark. Sure, it could happen, but that seems pretty unlikely to me.

Yes, but Fermi is the biggest tease in the PC industry since Duke Nukem Forever. ATI delivered while nVidia procrastinated.

I'm suprised they did not include and intercooler because of all the 'w' usage what was it 295w? :O

So everytime someone whips it out for Nvidia, Toms will show the pictures?... The only thing I hope to get out of these cards is an eventual ATI price drop...

Actually, it will probably turn your computer into a nuclear power plant. Have a crowbar handy when you fire it up.

Hmm, interestingly, it takes the shape of a reference Quadro. (minus the 295w TDP and monster heatsink to accommodate it)

henrystrawn, That's exactly what I did. I have one 5770, one to go! :)

the_krasno, I agree with you.

Well, this will be interesting. Even as an ATi user, a card that can run C++ natively is pretty neat (providing it even hits the market...)

looks good, wonder how large it is.

So it also opens a portal to Xen? Get ready to fight those head humpers then.

Glad to know people can tell how fast it's going to be by looking at it. Moving right along...

Looks great, nice case art, but then again, its just art, a nice looking case, and a nifty cooler, we just cant wait for the full specs and actual benchmarks!!! 320bit for the 870 sounds fimiliar though. Wasnt the 8800GTS also 320 bit?!? I wonder why it was never followed up for the 9xxx series.......

The cards look pretty cool, I doubt they will be cool temps though.
And performance is definitely up in the air.

Cool I get to buy the Bitchen Fast 3D, the 480 is of no surprise that have such a cooler but didn't expect the heat pipes. I have to admit they got looks right now I want benches and videos.

Heatpipes are cool if is an optional feature to add extra cooling for quieter performance, or extra overhead for overclocks as with the sapphire "vapor x" cards. But if pipes are a required element for the reference design, then this is not a good thing, not good at all.

Thats one hell of a heatsink on the GTX480, making the supposed 295W TDP seem plausible unfortunately. It definitely makes use of certain cases to house the cards extremely plausible unfortunately.
