Calgary, AB – March 26, 2010 – CoolIT Systems, leaders in advanced liquid cooling technology, announced today that upon its retail availability this summer, the Omni ALC universal graphics card liquid cooling solution will offer full support of NVIDIA’s latest graphics cards, the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 480 and GTX 470.

The GTX 470 and GTX 480 Video Cards will hit store shelves in a few weeks, if all goes well. So PALiT is preparing to launch their offering and they just sent me a couple of interesting box pictures. I should have these soon for an unboxing and review. All hail FROBOT!

Partners have the card

According to our info, Nvidia partners are happily playing with Fermi-based GTX 470 already, but Nvidia is still holding back the final specifications. The card will most probably be at Cebit, and hopefully Nvidia will give the final specs to partners by then.

After couple of inquiries we found out that even though you can get estimated performance figures based on what partners are looking at right now, these are still not final as Nvidia is yet to give out a word about the final clocks of the GTX 470.

Now it is official. The first two consumer level GPUs that are based on the GF100 are going to be called Geforce GTX 480 and Geforce GTX 470. This has been announced on Nvidia's Facebook site. Although the final specifications of the GF100 have not been released yet, there is quite some material available, since Nvidia showed systems at the CES where they also presented the tech demos of the GF100.
