The launch of Fermi based GTX 480 still remains slated for the second part of March and the drivers and cards are being manufactured as we speak. A part of Fermi delay was the 2 weeks off for Chinese New Year, but this is just an integral part of our industry.
You all know that some major thing delayed the cards from
November to late March, but Nvidia is still ok to start shipping in its
financial Q1 2010 that ends in late April this year.
Naturally, full availability is expected in Q2 of real
world and Nvidia's Q2 that runs from April to July. The card
is supposed to be fast and furious but let’s tune our emotions until they
finally ship the thing.
