GeForce GTX 480 Poses Next to Radeon HD 5970
The Radeon HD 5970 is bigger than the GeForce GTX 480.
With the Nvidia GeForce GTX 480's official debut happening at the end of this week, it's not unexpected to see more leaked shots hit the internet. The latest comes from Chinese site ChipHell, whose pictures have been saved and presented by Dutch site Hardware.info (translated).
While some pictures similar pictures of the GeForce GTX 480 have already appeared online, this is the first to place it next to ATI's chart-topping Radeon HD 5970 for a comparison.
In terms of putting them head-to-head in a benchmark competition, you'll have to stay tuned for the official unveil coming this Friday evening.

I like those cooling pipes on gtx 480, because they mean business...and business is good!!!
Oh how exciting, MORE pictures of the GTX480. And look, these ones are from different angles!
cooling pipes only demonstrate a more aggressive cooling solution.. possibly due to fermi's overheating issues. they do look cool tho..
So, a single chip card is slightly smaller than a dual chip card...
Yawn!
Yep, and guess which one will be measurably faster as well as cooler and more efficient.
(hint - not the 480)
Yawn...boringggggg, overpriced, overheated, limited release high-end cards for the anal rententive compulsive benchmarkers with more money than sense. Dull dull dull.
Wake me up when the $200 and less ranges arrive for the majority.
WOW!!! Plenty of *leaks* around.
nVidia security must be as loose as Toms morals recently.
Toms, we all know you are technologically biased but this has become a little too much.
Why not create a 'nVidia fermi card, leaks and images' forum thread?
That way you only have to report the first leak and any 'major' developments. Everything else can just get flung into the forum thread.
Your news section has looked like an advertisement page for Apple and nVidia for months now.
And Toms are fully aware that if they did indeed follow such a practice, the impending benchmarks could utterly embarrass them.
I'm taking an internet holiday next week so I can avoid website after website all pushing the same tedious benchmark charts.
The one tech website that reviews anything else than the 480 will get my clicks.
Cos you know what will be the big arguement next week.....
Whether or not the review sites used the 10.2 or 10.3a ATI drivers for the 5970.
I've seen a 20% jump in DX11 on my 5770 using 10.3a so that will be the crunch factor. Will ATI get the 10.3 propers out in time?
The big question is whether the 480 can overhaul the 5870, not the 5970, so each site should a) have access to the 10.3s, and b) make it a point of using them.
I can only imagine at what temperatures that nvidia works if they had to put FOUR heat pipes
you mean 5 heatpipes (look at pic 4)
