Galaxy Technology is very excited about the upcoming GeForce GTX 400 series launch and is preparing some events in China to mark the date. On March 26, the company is expected to be ready to sell both the GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470, a render of the latter being seen just below.
Based on the 40nm GF100 GPU, the first chip to make use of the Fermi architecture, the GeForce GTX 470 will be the main weapon in Nvidia's initial DX11 wave, and take on AMD's Radeon HD 5800 series models. The new card is expected to have 448 CUDA Cores, a 320-bit memory interface and will pack 1280MB of GDDR5 memory. DirectX 11 support will be present as will PhysX, CUDA, 3D Vision Surround, and 3-way SLI.
The GTX 470 has one HDMI and two DVI ports, boasts a PCI-Express x16 interface, takes up two slots and requires extra power via two 6-pin PCI connectors. Galaxy and its rival AIBs are currently building up their stocks of GF100 cards so hopefully we'll have a decent amount of units two weeks from today. Fingers crossed cause we need the competition.
