I predict the marketing BS will be strong with this product. You can look for the focus group to be out and working their asses off to sell this thing.

My room is messy, will my gtx480 use physx to clean it? Will Cuda be able to get my laundry get folded too?

I was bullied in school and am afraid that 3d vision might reach out of monitor and smack me across the face, can somebody people assure me this can't happen.

There are positives in everything, the GTX 480 might be very hot but atleast it will keep you nice and warm in the winter. Not sure how you are going to keep it cool during the summer but you should be down the beach in the summer anyway. There we go I could be a Focus Member I need to save on my heating bill in the Winter lol ;)

Yes, because anyone trying to make light of a situation must by default be an uber fan of the other side of the coin.... :rolleyes:

"Will gen 1 pci x hold my card back?"
"Why don't my SLI 480s work in my x48 board?"

The 4x0 does look impressive in many games, after a couple revisions and a die shrink it'll be an amazing GPU.

Do you think it will be enough to counter all the NV haters who troll here?D:
I predict we will have to continue to read the constant hate-mongering for quite awhile yet-thanks for keeping it going:rolleyes:
