Finally, here are the specifications for the GTX 480 and GTX 470

To everyone’s greatest delight, it’s Friday and we can go relax with the parameters of the first DirectX 11 GeForces.

The GTX 470 is priced at $ 350, so for the money, we get 448 CUDA cores, a 320-bit memory interface, a 607 MHz GPU clock, a 1215 MHz shading frequency, and 1280 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 3348 MHz. The loaded power consumption of the card is 225W.

The formidable older brother, the GTX 480, "offers" the same 480 CUDA cores as its name, a 384-bit interface, 1536 MB VRAM and 295 W consumption for around $500. Its clock signals are set at 700/1041/3696 MHz, split between GPU/shader/memory.

  
Both cards have 3-way SLI support, two PCI Express power connectors (six and eight pins) and two slot sizes, as well as CUDA, PhysX and 3D Vision Surround support and dual DVI, HDMI outputs.

The lucky ones may have the long-awaited hardware in their hands as early as next Friday.
