This new architecture is amazing, but it's also going to be damn expensive!

Ouch....

Review is up at Toms. Sadly, it looks like they slightly crippled the first two cards by disabling a portion (albeit small) of the GPU.

Nvidia, it’s shipping tens of thousands of GF100-based cards at launch, and by the middle of April, anyone willing to spend $500 on a GeForce GTX 480 or $350 on a GeForce GTX 470 should be able to buy one.

Glad to see prices came down a little.

While the performance is increasing by leaps and bounds, that's still a ton of loot just to throw at a gfx card.

Agreed! I've never spent that much on one!

Did you see this remark about heat?

Of course, that power invariably gets dissipated as heat, and thus the GTX 480, in particular, becomes a very hot card, cresting 160 degrees Fahrenheit on its surface during game play.

That is shockingly hot!

That's the temperature that cooked pork is supposed to reach.
