PurSuiT Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,147112-c...ps/article.html The first, a high-end GeForce GTX 280 with 240 processors and 1GB of frame buffer memory, sells at a spit-take-worthy price of $649 starting June 17. What does that that mean for these PCI Express 2.0 cards that pack 1.4 billion transistors? Nvidia promises that the GTX 280 is 1.5 times faster than a high-end 8800 / 9800-series GPU. While our testing continues, we can tell you that EA's Crysis ran twice as fast at 1920 by 1200-pixel resolution with 4x Anti-Aliasing compared to Asus' EN8800GT Top (on average, 8800GT cards cost about $200. For those doing the math at home: you're getting 2x the performance for roughly 3x the price). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 From the benchmarks I've read so far, it's about 50% faster than the 9800GTX...and more than that at very high resolutions. Need more 4850/70 benchmarks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
