Guru3D: I think it was one day before the GTX 580 launched when we received an email from Gigabyte, "Hey Hilbert, would you guys like to review our new GeForce GTX 480 SOC edition?"
And so we accepted to review a card that seems a little weird to be released right after the GTX 580 launch. But yeah, as our review will show, the card really is remarkably good, roughly as fast as the GTX 580, and then its that cooling, that amazing WindForce 3 cooling solution that Gigabyte applies to all their enthusiast segmented products.
