Abstract: Yes, you are reading this right. NVIDIA has finally released their long awaited next generation video card that moves away from the previous architecture. The GeForce GTX 480 is their high end GF100 card making it their most powerful video card current...
We see no reason to purchase a GeForce GTX 470. It provides no gameplay advantages compared to the competition, and will actually end up costing you more power and dollars for the exact same performance you can get with the Radeon HD 5850. Factor in th...
Before we begin summing the GeForce GTX 480 up, here is a quick break down of the 2560x1600 results in comparison to the Radeon HD 5870. The GeForce GTX 480 was 16% slower in Battlefield Bad Company 2, 13% slower in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat and ...

When you get right down to it the GTX 480 offers up better performance than the HD 5870. That's the expectation the world had for this card. In 44 out of 48 tests run the GTX 480 delivered a higher level of performance, a pretty stout performance. In...
Fermi is here at last, but can Nvidia’s newest (and long-delayed) graphics creation trump ATI’s take-all-before-it 5800 series? We put two cards to the test to find out ...
The first thing we have to say is that this isn't practical. When we say that we mean it's not practical in the sense that you cannot have the fan running at 100% when you're gaming; honestly 82dB is loud. I mean - it's really loud! If you go down ...
Abstract: Today Futuremark released a new version of its popular 3DMark benchmarking software, which has been part of the standard Hardware.Info tests since the first version appeared in 1999. Futuremark seems to be taking a cue from Apple with the name this time...
