Report: Nvidia GTX 480, 470 Availability Delayed
Buyers itching to get rid of their stack of Benjamins for a Fermi will have to hold off for a bit longer, it seems.
It's no secret that making Fermi has been a harder-than-expected task for Nvidia, but the company will officially unveil its finalized product in the GeForce GTX 480 at the end of next week on March 26.
While you can expect to see an announcement at an event at PAX East coupled with plenty of benchmarks, a story posted on Shane Baxtor's site says that retail availability will come after the announcement date.
According to Baxtor, the original retail date was supposed to be March 29 but now that's been moved to April 6.
We reached out to Nvidia for clarification, but we were told to stay tuned to the company's stage show from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. next Friday. At any rate, hopefully those boxes for Inno3D GeForce GTX 480 were filled with product and ready to greet gamers as soon as possible.

I hope the bad vibes around Fermi prove to be unfounded, but only because I want the Radeon 5000's to become cheaper... :-)
Wow! Didn't see that coming!
