Abstract: The downside of the Geforce GTX 480 is, without any doubt, the high power consumption: In idle mode it needs more than twice as much energy as the Radeon HD 5870/5850 and when running games it even reaches the level of the HD 5970. This leads to a high workload noise level: 6.7 Sone when gaming and extremely..
Abstract: We've been waiting, and waiting and waiting some more, but today the wait is over for the most part. This is probably second most controversial if not the most controversial chip in Nvidia’s history and we must admit we haven’t seen such lousy executio...

Abstract: Alright, let me wrap up this conclusion. When we look purely at the image quality and brute game performance, that's where the GTX 470 ($349) and 480 ($499) shine, they are imposing, impressive and most definitely cards that will deliver a massive amount of performance. Brute force is what you'll receive with..
A Fermi GPU. Click to enlargeHaving waited over six months for Nvidia to deliver a DirectX 11 graphics card we can't help but feel shocked by the GeForce GTX 480. While offering performance superior to the HD 5870 in some situations, most notably Battlefi...

NVIDIA has put a great deal of time in developing this new series of GPUs (GF100 Series). They have added a plethora of new technologies, such as Raster and Polymorph Engines, as well as some additional CUDA cores. With the progression of technology, g...
Of all the video card product launches of the last few years, this is certainly one of the most significant. It has been a long wait for Fermi, and the GTX 380 GTX 480. There have been a lot of eyes looking for a clues to what it was all going to be a...
Abstract: The wait is finally over. After letting AMD own the next-generation video card market for months with its 5000-series cards, Nvidia has at last returned a salvo. Its ammo: two cards based on its new "Fermi" architecture, the GTX 470 and the GTX 480. Th...
Most Powerful GPU on the Market, High-Resolution Gaming with PhysX, Support for more DirectX 11 features than the competition, Black Chrome Heatsink, 3D Vision Gaming across 3 Monitors, Surround Gaming up to 3 Monitors, 3D gaming at 1080p
Huge power usage, Extremely hot, Higher price than the competition, Flagship product without the full 512 Cores, Needing a set of GTX 480/470 in SLI to use the Surround gaming options
Sometimes, to pave the way to something great you have to make a radical change and NVidia has done that with the new Fermi architecture. The new GPU core solves many of the current limitations found in the modern GPU by implementing technologies lik...
Abstract: Is the GeForce GTX 480 fashionably late, or just plain late? ATI has been tooting the DirectX 11 horn for quite some time now, while their competitors labored on a rebuttal. At long last, Nvidia's first DirectX 11 graphics card is here -- and for bette...
