For those of you who have been waiting to Nvidia to enter catch up to the Direct X 11 market, you will be pleased to know Nvidia is launching their first GF100 based graphics cards probably by the end of Q1 2010.  The first two cards have been named the GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470, completely skipping over the 300’s.  Nvidia’s GeForce 300 series GPU’s are currently marketed to the less demanding consumer/gamer.  We can’t wait to get our hands on the GTX  480 and see how it holds up to the competition from ATI.  [Source]
