On March 26, NVidia will be releasing the GeForce GTX 480 and 470. Rumor is that it is 5% faster than the Radeon HD 5870. Rumor also has it that availability will scarce for the first couple of months. At CEBIT this week, Tweakers.net took some photos of the, as yet unreleased, graphics card. Guru3D provides the following commentary on the images:

We spot 12 memory chips which are on a 384-bit wide memory interface. The GPU is powered by a 6-phase vGPU circuit then we spot a 2-phase Memory circuit. Power is drawn from an 8-pin and a 6-pin power connector. Monitor connectivity shows two DVI-D, and a mini HDMI connector.
