I used Google and found out that there's no Lightening or DC versions of GTX 480.
Also the Gigabyte cards you're talking about is not available, and there's no SOC too.

Misleaded info?

You can just give a simple link format, you don't have to destroy all the thread with your thumbnails.
Is the MSI GTX 480 available out there? At that price $210?
I don't deny the strength of the card I just deny power consumption and heat.

 

[ilysaml]

And deny the fact the 7950 is 120 more for not alot more performance.. do the math ....

This is not even a fair comparison, when you compare, compare stock vs stock, the HD 7950 is a great overclocker too and will require no additional cooling, and it has some other features that GTX 480 doesn't provide it may be useless for you but useful for others.
And regarding

As for overclocks... my card beats many in games, the 580 cannot keep up even at 835 mhz

I wouldn't say foolish and inexperienced like you said but this is very untrue.

yep, i knew someone would poke the rabid dog . . . :lol:

My comment was regarding this "the 580 cannot keep up even at 835 mhz"
What's the relation between what you said above with this statement?

 

[ilysaml]

So the guy compare an OCed GTX 480 to a stock clocked GTX 580? Does it make a sense?

any factory overclocked released 580GTX cards after that with a 60mhz + clock, your OCd 480GTX won't beat them.

What does this mean? What does it take to decode?

You claim that your GTX 480 @ 900 MHz beat the GTX 580 at those clocks?

 

[ilysaml]

I mean, XFX's 7950 i have here is a twin fan too but duuude... I was getting temps at like 78c while on Sims 3. really....... lol

Not all what they are out to be huh....

Don't you feel like a kid when you post stuff like these? because one have a negative feedback this means that all cards are bad?
I should stop debating with you because of your kiddish stuff, you doesn't seem to be worthy the title "Expert" at all. Maybe "Expert" in argument only.

the DCU was in fact a black msi gtx 480 with an 3rd party replacement cooler my bad

 

[ilysaml]

Direct CU is a cooler belongs to ASUS not MSI
And that Gigabyte card is the Windforce 3X

GTX 480= Pros
Value for money
Cons
Uses alot power
HD 7950=Pros
Performence per watts
Cons
Way to expensive in compition with 480

agreed

 

[randomkid]

ive heard the gtx 480 is a really good card but just been looking at the 7950 is this card as good as they say or not?

Have you found your answer?
If not & interested in more opinions, can you tell us the rest of your components, at least the motherboard (Asus Crosshair?), processor & power supply?
