I'm glad you're excited. When they include a "properly ventilated case" and new PSU with every card, they'll get my attention.

I though most of us *enthusiast* had that? Are you in the right forum?

The Dell forums is that a way>>>>.

This is a JFYI thread, but feel free to bump it for our members.

Got a 470 already. I just need some time off from work.

You cross post from the shopping forum and you're asking me if I'm in the right forum?

The price war is finally coming. About time.

this is nothing close to a price war. When ATi 5850/GTX 470 gets down to about $200, thats a price war...

Too spoiled by 48xx pricing, aren't we

I used to never go over $150 on video cards, but now pretty content with paying $250-$300 for a video card. In the light of cheap cpu/mobo deals in courtesy of fry's and MC's, spending more on video cards seems to make sense with their increased role and relative importance.

As for 470 being under $300, that makes it a very viable solution now (about time, really). Fermi reviews and owners claim 470 is quite different from 480 in terms of thermals and acoustics for what it's worth.
