[SlowSpyder]

Watch me throw it against a wall when the 512SP version that uses 30w less comes out in a month. I will take pictures.

Wow actually being sold at suggested retail price. I would have thought newegg would price gouge on these. Then again it's probably too early for that.

EVGA 480 is available, let's see how long it lasts...

EDIT: Gone before I could put it in my cart

 

[cbn]

Nice.

I am curious to see if you'll notice a reduction in input lag compared to using the dual 280 GTXs?

 

[v8envy]

Awesome toy. So, you going to take them up on a recommendation of a Rosewill PSU to power the bad boy with?

 

[jaggerwild]

PNY is a brand new company but they are selling items(there prices are high)as if there products have been around for a long time, I'm not suggesting there good or bad Simply my observation.

 

[Patrick Wolf]

Can't wait to see reviews for these cards on the egg. Should be entertaining.

um PNY is not a brand new company. in fact I have PNY card from 2003.

EDIT: http://www3.pny.com/AboutPNY/index.aspx

PNY Electronics, Inc. originated out of Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1985 as a company that bought and sold memory chips. To emphasize its expansion into manufacturing new forms of memory and complementary products, the company changed its name in 1997 to PNY Technologies®, Inc. The company continues to evolve by delivering a full spectrum of high-quality products to elevate the overall computing experience.

CB, a single GTX280 is fast enough in just about everything that any input lag is likely imperceptible. It will be less with the 480, but I doubt mere mortals will notice.

It's mostly an issue on trying to multi-GPU feeble, low end hardware which manages single digit frame rates per card. Competitive gamers can just crank down resolution and details until any game runs at 120+ fps.

470 is available

EVGA and PNY cards sold out in like 5 minutes. I wonder if they only had like 5 cards each? LOL.

Awesome toy. So, you going to take them up on a recommendation of a Rosewill PSU to power the bad boy with?

You know it! When making an unnecessary $550 purchase for electronic gaming components, I will only trust the best with my hardware!

Far from it.

Far from it.

yeah I was just editing my comment to reflect their company info.

 

[Puffnstuff]

I managed to snag the evga gtx480 and now my order has been charged. I'm pretty pumped about it and also added overnight shipping. I want my fermi dammit.

 

[Stoneburner]

PNY got Fermi chips but XFX did not?

What the fuck has this world come to!

 

[Puffnstuff]

Xfx is not doing fermi and there was an article about it last month. Bfgtech on the other hand is but is late to the party.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

PNY is fine. I have an assortment of PNY 8800GTS, 8800GTX and 8600GT cards that are still running fine to this day.

 

[thegimp03]

Haha, the entire 400 series is completely sold out. Damn piranhas.

 

[Kenmitch]

Zipzoomfly has them....Price gouging em tho

 

[SlowSpyder]

It might have something to do with the fact that there are no Pny Radeon 5xxx parts. XFX Radeons on the other hand...

 

[MarcVenice]

I'd like to know why you guys jumped on this? Wanted the fast single-gpu possible? Bad experience with ATI? CUDA ? PHYSX? 3DVision?

Sidenote: I'd get an evga-card over a pny-card anyday, even the cards will be identical.

 

[MagickMan]

470s @ZZF for $410+. That's good for a laugh.
