Product Gallery GeForce GTX 480

So there you have it. This is the GeForce GTX 480. The cooling is massive alright, heatpipe based. Overall, a nice and dark looking card. But let's look at the card from several different viewpoints.

Let me quickly side-track first, the GTX 480 card is quite good looking and roughly 26,5 CM / 10.4" length wise. Below you can see the GTX 470, definitely smaller at 24,5 CM / 9.6 Inches. And with that out of the way ...

The GeForce GTX 480 comes with no less than 1536 MB memory. And that should be plentiful. The card itself is clocked at a 700 MHz core frequency, 1400 MHz on the shader processors and the gDDR5 memory runs at an effective ~3700 MHz. Combined with a 384-bit wide memory bus you'll get very high memory bandwiths up-to 177 GB/s and 134 GB/s for the 320-bit wide GTX 470.
