NVIDIA gives Fermi GF100 GPUs an official launch date

Graphics giant NVIDIA has for the first time officially confirmed the release date for its first Fermi-based GF100 GPUs.

Via Twitter the company has set the launch date for the GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 as March 26, 2010.

This means that NVIDIA fans have little over a month to wait for the company's first DirectX 11 compatible GPU.

Yesterday we came across a listing on SabrePC.com for both the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480 cards from both PNY and XFX, listed as $500 for the GeForce GTX 470 and $680 for the GTX 480.
