Fermi release date is confirmed.

[foothead]

Fermi has been officially confirmed to drop March 26.

NVIDIA We want to apologize for the confusion around our most recent GF100 update. To clarify, the launch date for GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 is March 26, 2010. This date also coincides with the GeForce LAN event NVIDIA is hosting at PAX 2010. Hope you can attend the show. For more info, please visit: www.nvidia.com/paxeast

This was on NV's official facebook page.

Discuss.

EDIT: GTX 480 will be $699 according to XFX.

I wonder why they haven't released any to review sites yet, with the release a month from now. It seems like if they had any stock, they'd be advertising up the wall.

It makes me think:
A) They don't have nearly enough for a major release.
B) It gets owned by the 5970 (doubt it)
C) The release wasn't planned to be so early, but they did it in response to all the bad rep they were getting for not releasing it yet.

Or it could be something else, we have to wait and see.

EDIT: $499 for GTX 470. I sure wish they had more than two cards for this launch.

why do you say that?
you one of them fanboyfags? lol j/k

 

[foothead]

no. I doubt it because Nvidia went back and redesigned the whole platform after the 5970 was released.

Weak comeback is Weak.

Note that my sig has that I am saving for the 5970 and I already bought the monitors for eyefinity.

That wasn't a comeback. It was my reasoning as to why fermi would be better than a 5970.

This....is....amazing!

i just dont expect those few months to be enough time for them to completely re design an entire card.

Anyone got the wattage requirement for these things?
