NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 480 Equals ATI Radeon HD 5870 Performance

With the first Fermi-based graphics cards from NVIDIA expected to debut at the end of this month, the company has been slowly leaking out more information about the long-delayed GPU. Here then is an official video from NVIDIA of the GTX 480.

Engadget - We're still not happy with NVIDIA's failure to publish anything on its site alerting users about the doom that may befall them if they switched to the 196.75 drivers, but the company's making an effort to get back into our good books with the first official video of its forthcoming GeForce GTX 480 and even a benchmark run against ATI's flagship single-GPU card, the HD 5870.

If the GTX 480 only manages to beat the Radeon HD 5870 in games with heavy tesselation, it's going to be bad news for NVIDIA. Click here for the link to the video and draw your own conclusions.
