Unlike AMD's Catalyst drivers, we haven't seen a major overhaul of Nvidia's user interface within the past year. Performance, on the other hand, has definitely changed. Over the course of almost 14 months, AMD's Catalyst drivers delivered 5% to 10% b...

Abstract: We simply did not have time, in preparing our review of the new Radeon HD 6800 series GPUs and Nvidia's hyper-clocked GTX 460 response, to make any serious attempts at overclocking those cards. Happily, I've been able to take a little bit of time since...
Abstract: We’ve seen impressive performance from Nvidia's GeForce GTX 460 when it's matched up with a second card in SLI mode. But how does the entire ......
Abstract: Once again we look at ATI’s CrossFireX versus NVIDIA’s SLI in terms of real world gaming performance, but this time we are using three brand new games that have just been released. This will show us how CrossFireX and SLI perform in new game releases ...
We have to wonder why two older games are behaving poorly with CrossFireX in a triple display setup. The intent of this evaluation was to look at a newer game, and a couple of older games to see if we are being let down by CrossFireX performance since ...
Abstract: Last week we showed you what the real-world gaming performance differences when we used SLI and CFX video card configurations in PCIe x16/x16 operation and x16/x8 operation. Our conclusions were simple, moving the secondary video card of a CFX or SLI ...
According to the test, the full spec’ed 512SP GTX 480 just brings a performance improvement of no more than 6% over the 480SP GTX 480. The power consumption and temperature of GF100 have become NVIDIA’s headache. Even without overclocking, the full-loa...
Putting together these value comparisons is harder than it looks. Oh, sure, looking at our overall value graphs and making broad generalizations is a lot of fun, but it can be quite misleading. You've gotta keep the hidden variables in mind. If this en...
