Official Box Art for Palit's GeForce GTX 480, 470

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Feast your eyes on the packaging for the upcoming Nvidia Fermi-based video cards!

While we don't yet have Nvidia's upcoming GF100-based video cards to show you just yet, we have received some of the first box art for retail GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480 that you'll see in stores from Palit.

Here's the front of the box for the GeForce GTX 480 with confirmation of its 1536MB of GDDR5 configuration.

And here's the art for the GeForce GTX 470 with 1280MB of GDDR5.

Stay tuned for the official launch on March 26!

Wow, just looking at the box makes me wonder how Palit of all of the vendors got first dibs on marketing their "boxart'! Im sure you guys at TOM's must have a beta GTX480 and 470 sent by Nvidia so when the cards are released you would have a FULL REVIEW! Im actually getting tense as I cant wait to compare one of these cards with a Cypress card!

I started to feel nVidia 'fermi' is a little bit too much hype. Box art become a news...hmmm.

I am sure many will disappointed if this card fail to justify its price.

I think the box is alright but I think the name of the card should be in the middle.

Day late and dollar short, or in this case hundreds of dollars too much for what your getting. Just fine with my DX11 card Ive had since October of last year. A 5870. Thanks but no thanks.

It looks really good. Not too flashy, looks professional.

box art, fine, Nvidia supplied benchmark, sure, i can live. "Naked" pics of the card, what ever.

Let's see some prices! Who cares if it's a thousand times better than a 5870, if it's not priced competitively Nvidia has a problem.

Most of the time reviewers are supplied a card (or access to a test bench) for a few days before its public release.

I'm really not interested in seeing pretty pictures of a box but I'm looking forward to whats in it =)
From the Nvidia "benchmark" yesterday I really have to admit I'm not so sure if it'll be much faster than the 5870 or not.

I just hope that inside would also be good, not to smash out Radeons, but to be a really bad*ss competitor, and bring the prices of the video cards down.

I still want a new card though.. been waiting for them to lower their price down.

Then we will see who will be the best!

Not as slick as the XFX box art.

The fact that they are pushing 3D vision, CUDA, and PhysX on the box art and not performance is a bit worrying to me. Perhaps I'm wrong.

That said, its pretty decent for Box-art, very clean. It is much better than this:

Yeah, this has all the makings of TOTAL flop. You heard it here first (ok, not really, pretty much everyone is saying it - including some people working for Nvidia!).

When box art is the best thing you can put on display a couple weeks before your release... Wow.

? They released info on the architecture, all the features it will support (on facebook/twitter), and like 3 benchmarks. Other companies like Intel put out way less info before a product release yet you can't really say their processors are a flop...

What is up with the odd RAM size. Why don't they just put a gig or two.

As much as I like ATI, it would be terrible for nVidia for Fermi to fail after all this hype... Plus, who doesn't want cheaper ATI cards?

The RAM values arent odd.

1.5 x 1024=1536
1.25 x 1024=1280

Math is hard.

Palit is a HUGE buyer of nvidia chips. if not the biggest, then a close number two.

it's odd because of the odd memory bus size.
