NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480/470 to lose cores over poor GPU yield?
Early adopters beware: if you were planning on picking up one of NVIDIA's new Fermi-based GeForce GTX 480 or GTX 470 graphics cards when they go on sale later on this month, you could end up getting a less capable card than expected. According to leaks out of graphics cards manufacturers, lower than expected 40nm yields at NVIDIA's suppliers have prompted the company to block those cores with problems; as a result, the GeForce GTX 480 will only have 480 cores and the GTX 470 just 448.

Half-power NVIDIA Ion 2 GPU for smaller netbooks explains dreary benchmarking?
We've been all over NVIDIA's new next-generation Ion 2 today, but that excitement has now been tempered by a little small-print confusion over exactly what you're getting in your fancy new netbook.

NVIDIA Fermi GeForce GTX 470/480 cards scarce at launch?
AMD are hammering away with their DirectX 11 graphics cards - the ATI Radeon HD 5830 made official this morning is a good example - but things may not be quite so ship-shape over at NVIDIA.

That, they reckon, is down to NVIDIA's reluctance to part with reference board designs.
