    Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock...

    Does anybody know when the public are actually going to be able to PURCHASE either the nVidia GTX 470 or GTX 480 video cards?

    Please tell me that this isn't going to end up being as big a disaster as the release of the 5-series nVidia cards was.

    Thank you! Man, you'd almost think sometimes that nVidia is allergic to money or something.

    Situation in the UK is very poor. I found the 480 from Point of View in stock at Scan, but by the time I arrived at check-out it was out of stock again. I suppose it'll be May before there is a reasonable amount available.

    Novatech in the UK has 7x 470's in stock now, and 6x Zotac 470's are at their suppliers.

    They started showing up at various etailers last week, but demand is high so don't expect them to remain in stock for long until things settle down.

    Seriously man, this has to be trolling. Tigerdirect had the Galaxy GTX480s in stock for about 24 hours straight at around $460 after bing cashback. That's about as easy as it has ever been to buy a hot new card on release. When the 5970 dropped it was selling out everywhere within 10 minutes. If you've had a tough time buying a 480, you haven't been looking very hard.

    I mean, I saw those 480s at night, struggled to decide if I should trade my 5970+5870 for them, went to bed, and when I woke up they were STILL in stock. Curiosity got the better of me and I ordered them. Behaving like that during most launches would have left me cardless.

    Its a shame that buyers get clumped over the head and receive an impromptu anal inspection at their prices though.

    if anyone is stupid enough to pay £499 (that's about 770 dollars!!), they are rewarding failure and saying "please rape me!" :wanker:

    (Even €499 is roughly 670 dollars and still out of the question)

    My first inclination is to go nvidia, my dna would lean that way - HOWEVER, 7 months after 5870, the 480 is offering a performance increase of about 10-15% on average, while my reference 5870 clocks from 850 -> 1000 out of the box, has done since october, more than making up for the short gap to the 480.

    If nvidia (or anyone) doesn't suffer from their failures, how can you ever expect that they learn from those failures?

    $399 is the price it's supposed to cost, at least you don't have to pay extra like most people on would have to

    yea you're right thats what they are supposed to cost. but just like every card released i think thats actually the price you can plan on spending after at least 6 months lol. I think the last series card to cost what they said it was going to cost at release was the 6. I remember even the 7 series prices skyrocketed. I would be really surprised to see one for less than that before september, but heres to hoping
