NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 - 13 YEARS LATER

#pc #nvidia #gaming #pcgaming

Hey there, gaming enthusiasts!

Today I present one of the most expensive grill ever that is also capable of creating graphics. Jokes aside, this GTX 480 was one of Nvidia's biggest failures/successes, because while on the one hand it created something truly powerful, and it didn't pay attention to any means and created at the same time an energy sucker and a super hot graphics card.

But we're not here to see how much meat this grill made, but rather how it performed, once again 5 years before and 5 years after its launch.

The GeForce GTX 480 was a high-end graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 26th, 2010. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the GF100 graphics processor, in its GF100-375-A3 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_0, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The GF100 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 529 mm² and 3,100 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 480 Core 512, which uses the same GPU but has all 512 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce GTX 480 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 480 shading units, 60 texture mapping units, and 48 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 1,536 MB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 480, which are connected using a 384-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 701 MHz, memory is running at 924 MHz (3.7 Gbps effective).
Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 draws power from 1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 250 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x mini-HDMI 1.3a. GeForce GTX 480 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 267 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 499 US Dollars.
