MSI Joins the Fermi Party, Launches N480GTX/N470GTX
Perhaps by now you've heard that Nvidia has officially launched a little thing it likes to call Fermi which is only the company's next-gen graphics architecture and currently the fastest single-GPU 3D accelerator on the planet. Fermi parts won't actually ship until early April, but already we're seeing a deluge of product announcements, the latest of which comes from MSI.
On tap from MSI is the N480GTX-M2D15 and N470GTX-M2D12 videocards, or as we like to call them, GTX 480 and GTX 470 in MSI trim. Like every other Fermi-based card slated for release, these two parts both sport a 40nm GPU. The N470GTX-M2D12 ships with a 607MHz core clockspeed along with 1280MG of GDDR5 memory clocked at 3348MHz (effective). The N480GTX-M2D15, meanwhiles, boasts a 700MHz core and 1336MB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 3696MHz (effective).
The cards also support MSI's Afterburner overclocking software with voltage adjustment and burn-in functions. And while MSI while doesn't back their cards with a lifetime warranty like a handful of competitors do, they're one of the few companies who haven't adopted registration and proof-of-purchase hoops to jump through when filling out an online RMA.
