485 is here! maybe...

[ares1214]

supposedly, the 485 is to be realeased this fall. it gets:

20 MHz bump to core clock
39 MHz bump to shader clock
32 more stream processors
4 more TMU

overall, this gives it a 4.08 MT/s advantage in texture fill rate, and a .96 MP/s advantage in pixel fill rate, for an overall 130 gigaflops advantage over the 480. the 485 is supposed to use 2 8 pin connectors, so its looking to be even more power hungry, 10-20% more. also even hotter. it is rumored to be released at 20$ more than the 480s. supplies should be short, considering the 485s are just the "good" 480s that didnt crash with 512 stream processors, so there arent many of them. all of this seems very reliable, and confirmed by nvidia:

yeah, sorry, replaced the link

 

[ares1214]

and doesnt it! im considering buying that thing :lol:

 

[ares1214]

btw, for that page, just click to the side with the 485 if your still there, sorry bout that.

 

[ares1214]

hahahaha, yeah, that thing looked SWEET, and only 55 bucks too! :lol:

So this is the full GTX 480, no disabled cores or anything? If so... then it'll have 1792 MB of memory, like the good old GTX 295, even though the GTX 295 could only use 896 MB of it... It might be fast enough to take on the HD 5970.

2x 8pin connectors? Holy ballz...

That's 375watt max power draw?

2x 8pins is equal to the 5970 4GB Eyefinity Edition (aka 5990) with the 850MHz to 1GHz core overclock


btw, lol @ this pic of the GTX485:

 

[ares1214]

yes 375 max power draw. and they are releasing the 460:

not too much info though...still doesnt look to be competitive with the 5770 in price, as it is 230-250$ it would seem

 

[ares1214]

yeah, i lol'ed at that pic too, it reminded me of a picture of the sun :lol:

375watts = more than the entire full load power consumption of my 2ndary system. XD

Looks like those computer cases with two PSU-slots will come in handy...

 

[ares1214]

think it will cost as much as this bad boy?

the 480's are going for around $520

and the 485 is suppost to be just 20ish $ more than the 480, as it is just a working version with 512 stream processors. but it could make it all the way up to 600 if you ask me, especially if supplies are as low as they are suppost to be.

The ASUS RoG Ares HD 5970 has uses two six pin and one eight pin, extreme lol.

im scared of the 490

heres some more reading on the 460 it seems.

 

[ares1214]

is a 490 even possible??? if the 295 was roughly a 280 and 260, than it would be logical to assume the 490/495 would be like a 480 and 460. i doubt from a heating and power standpoint its possible, that might melt a hole right thru the mobo :lol:
