Report: 4 Radeon HD 4870s versus 3 GeForce GTX 280s
We have decided to look into multi-GPU performance for the GeForce GTX 200 and the Radeon HD 4800. Lets see what we get out of 3 GeForce GTX 280s and 4 Radeon HD 4870s. And at what price?
Not long after being launched at 512 MB, the Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 were made available in 1 GB versions. Is this much memory really worth having?
The Radeon HD 4850 and HD 4870 are distinguished mainly by the type of memory they use, 993 Mhz GDDR3 for the first and GDDR5 set at 1800 MHz for the second. We wanted to see if GDDR5 memory was really an advantage.
AMD comes back in force with two new Radeons. Indeed, the 4800 series is more than promising as we show you in this complete test which looks at its architecture and the final cards.
After a few very long months, a new "big" GPU has arrived. Nvidia’s GT200 pushes GeForce 8 architecture further and promises to replace the GeForce 9800 GX2 by a card equipped with a single GPU.
The new 3DMark, called Vantage, has just been released. What’s the interest of this new version designed for DirectX 10? Our analysis was quite critical...
After having focused on triple SLI, we decided to come back to multi-GPU systems. This technology has now been extended to a quad-GPU configuration with both AMD and Nvidia.
18 months after the GeForce 8800 GTX, the 9800 GTX has finally arrived. Is this new card up to par with other high end solutions? Reusing the G92 which already equips a number of other GeForce 8 and 9s raises some doubts...
Nvidia follows AMD in the realm of dual GPU cards enabling the creation of a new high end product without a new GPU. So is the GeForce 9800 GX2 of interest to gamers?
