    News - NVIDIA benchmarks GeForce GTX 480 against AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870

    NVIDIA demonstrates Fermi's supposed superiority at tessellation, but will it translate to real-world performance?

    OMG, this is now really worrying for nVidia....this screams of them hand-picking the one benchmark that shows it in a good light vs the 5870 and even then, it's marginal?

    Assuming those figures are anywhere near accurate, it suggests the 480 can maintain double the minimum fps during intensive scenes. This is much more important than getting 200fps while looking at the floor.

    You mean 'during intensive benchmarks that don't represent real world games'?

    Benchmarks absolutely have their role, and it suggests that the tessellation in nVidia's card really is quite good.. but given it's a dx11 only feature I have my severe doubts that developers are going to go anywhere near a tessellation limited game - at most it'll be a bit of eye candy ontop of an engine really designed for consoles. Raw polygon and texture throughput, together with shader speed, are going to be the most important factors in whether this is better at gaming or not, and cherry picking one specific facet suggests they're struggling to even beat ATI's upper rangecard that's been out for a while, let alone ATI's top card.

    except those intense scenes are tessellation heavy where in 10.2 and below the 5870 sucks, however the 10.3 beta seems to have fixed this and now the 480 should be only marginally better at this benchmark, so it may still be crap in other benches/games.

    So nVidia find that their own benchmark gives their cards better scores? Yeah, I'll wait for the 3rd party results to come out, thanks.

    Even if that is the result, I bet the nVidia cards will require more juice, run hotter, and have a higher failure rate.

    On one hand.

    This is utter failure on Nvidia's part. I used to be a fan of Nvidia but no more. They've gone crazy. They think they can sell a half baked video card that runs hot as a blow torch, maxes out power requirements and is more expensive than the much better ATI card. Sorry, I won't bite. I'm not stupid, and hopefully so aren't the Nvidia fanboys. And besides, just as few are supporting physx, I doubt if you are going to any games supporting fermi. Don't waste your money.

    And isn't it funny that they don't give any comparison to the 5970? Which is about the same price?

    You forgot to mention higher price as well...

    Now, where have we heard this before... oh yeah, NV30... still, they bounced back from that quite well.

    Or the HD2900. Both sides have produced stinkers.

    And though I am also expecting that it would run hotter than I'd want it's not a fact yet. And unless Linux support has clearly improved on AMD's end (there are people who dual-boot), there are still valid reasons for going nVidia without being a fanboy (CUDA being another reason).

    How much faster is the 5970 over the 5870?

    We all do. Then again, Intel's benchmark for Core 2 turned out to be representative of it's performance in the end.

    Re: News - NVIDIA benchmarks GeForce GTX 480 against AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870

    I thought the above benchmark was 3rd party anyway ? Also, isn't fastest card the 5870X2 ?
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    One problem; the 5870x2 is not availabale yet and only specs and details have been leaked..... Sounds oddly familar; heard that somewhere before.

    On a serious note if anyone has a 5850 and 5870 and an i7 @3.3 could they bench it for comparison? People on other forums are complaining they get similar benches for the 5870 (as listed in the NV benchmark) when the OC their 5850s to 5870 speeds. Interested to see if anyone can confirm/replicate this.

    Obviously they would never pick something which makes Fermi suck, but surely they would pick a benchmark which gives them a better edge? Strange................

    Guess the wait continues for more benchmarks, not long till launch though.

    Re: News - NVIDIA benchmarks GeForce GTX 480 against AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870

    Another benchmark from Nvidia about how better their card will be against ati's newest offerings, yawn, yawn, yawn...



    I dont know about anyone else but my excitement was high for nvidias response for a few months after the 5 series release but its been so long now Im finding myself becoming uninterested at nvidias faffing around trying to tell us it will be better. Release the sodding card already!

    p.s. try not to disable the fan on the first driver release..

    Surely they need to get the power usage down on this thing...
