How fast will the GTX 480 be?

[1h4x4s3x]

The launch is only a few days away. So, compared to the 5870, how much faster will it be?
The winner(s) will receive 10 virtual cookies.

12% at normal resolutions

edit:

 

[crazylegs]

I voted over 30%, statistically that gives me the best chance of being correct as it covers a range of 70% and not just 5% like the other brackets

Seriously though... faster at what? With what setup? Is price:FPS factored? Is power consumption considered?

Worst poll everrrrrrrrrrr...

 

[Dark4ng3l]

I was going to say 5-10% but with the new 10.3a drivers i'm going to say 0-5%.

No "Who cares?" option?

Seriously, if you haven't learned anything else useful, take home the "It will likely be faster in some things, and slower in others."

So, you're saying it will be like most of the other cards ever?

Pff.

Overall in gaming that is. No specific settings.
And no, neither p/p nor W is considered.

You should have put the below two options only:

1. Fast enough
2. Not fast enough

Poll lacks options.

We hear the rumours of 5-10%, and the only benchmarks we have seen have been green team provided.

I'd like to see independent benchmarks in a wide list of games.

So with 5-10% being the best the green team can do, I wouldn't be suprised to see fermi actually end up being maybe on par, or even a few percent below the current red team performance, when tested independently over many games.

Guess we shall find out soon enough.

350% faster, without a doubt*

I have been saying around GTX 290 performance since last Fall and I am sticking to it.

 

[Kuzi]

I voted 10-15%.

A few months ago I said the GTX480 would be around ~30% faster than the 5870. What changed now is that ATI has been slowly improving performance with each monthly driver, and since the release of the 5000 series 6 months ago, I believe they added on average 5-10% more performance. Additionally, we have the rumors about the GTX480 being a 480 core part, instead of having 512 cores. So it loses some power there (-6.6%)

Anyways it should be a powerful card, and may be noticeably faster in some cases, especially situations that require more memory and/or higher bandwidth.

I took a stab and went with 5-10%. Of course, it could be 200% faster, it doesn't matter to me at this piont, like many I stopped waiting.

I like this poll better. I'll go with "Not fast enough"

How fast is fast enough?

Define what "overall in gaming" is.

August 2009 should do it...

 

[Rezist]

10 to 15% otherwise it'll be too depressing.

I think we have a winner!

OP - why not read all of the other threads on the subject?

Nice Steve, I'll probably get a 5870 too

 

[OCGuy]

More than likely it will be the top GPU on the market, hands-down. If they have the quantity that one rumour is suggesting, and they price it right.....they will sell as many as they can produce.

que?

I'll vote for too little too late, which is what this card is.

Based on price information I feel confident it will offer 5-10% improved performance over the 5870. Anything more than that and we'd be seeing a more expensive card than what the speculated price is suggesting. Cherry picked results may show as much as 50% improvement in cherry picked situations, check with Green Team members of the board for the heads up when those hit (Read: Ignore it like usual).

I would put the gtx470 in 5870 territory. The gtx 480 will definitly outpace it.
