Discrete computer graphics are one of the toughest markets to keep current with. New graphics cores are released on a pretty frequent basis from both ATI and NVIDIA and with naming schemes that change nearly as often, it can be difficult to determine where each card stands in relation to others in the same price range. Today we will be taking a look at the MSI R6850 PE / OC graphics card, a mid-range GPU that was launched at the end of last year. Codenamed Barts, this GPU is built on a 40nm process with support for DirectX 11 & Open GL 4.0. Other notable features include HDMI 1.4a & DisplayPort 1.2 support as well as AMD Eyefinity multi-display technology and CrossfireX support.
AMD répond à Nvidia et nous propose une nouvelle gamme et appellation de ses GPU. Bye bye les Radeon HD, faites place aux R9. On découvre donc les 290X, 280X, 270X et 260X. Vous l’aurez sans doute compris, les gammes évoluent en fonction des dizaines, 9 pour très haut de gamme et 7 pour une carte plus entrée de gamme. Présentement, nous allons nous pencher sur la R9 270X OC proposée par Gigabyte, carte qui semble incarner un certain idéal pour les joueurs peu fortunés, ou soucieux de ne point dépenser des milliers d’euros dans leur machine.
First up on our test bench is the HIS Radeon HD 7970 3GB. We will be putting it up against the best of the last generation in a selection of real world tests which include Battlefield 3, Star Wars: The Old Republic and Skyrim… all at 5760x1080. In addition to this we will also look at GPU computing and media performance as well as power and thermal performance.
Shortly after the launch of the Radeon HD 7870, the only video cards available were clones of the reference design. Now that we're past the initial launch period, new models of the 7870 are now available which deviate from the standard. The model we're looking at today is called the Double Black Diamond. A step up from the vanilla 7870, the Double Black Diamond comes with an overclock of 50MHz to the GPU and 25MHz (200MHz GDDR5 effective).
Enter Gigabyte and the GVR587SO-1GD videocard, which increases the Radeon HD 5870's core clockspeed from 850MHz to 950MHz, increasing the effective frequency of its GDDR5 memory from 4.8GHz up to 5GHz. This beauty of a videocard uses a custom dual-fan heatsink design for better cooling and takes advantage of Gigabyte's Ultra Durable VGA+ manufacturing techniques.
Back in 2009, ASUS launched their 1000-piece limited edition mammoth "Mars" (2 x GTX285 on a single card) and took the performance crown over then GPU leaders NVIDIA GTX295 and AMD HD5970, albeit at a significant price premium. Two years later today and equipped with two GTX580 Fermi cores, we do a mini review on the world's fastest single graphics card for enthusiasts - ASUS Republic of Gamers Mars II.
We have already taken a look at single GPU performance and now it is time to update that article with a look at SLI, featuring ZOTAC's version of the GTX 680 in titles such as Mass Effect 3 and Battlefield 3 with single screen and surround gaming as well as Stereoscopic 3D testing.
Graphic cards
The EVGA GTX 650Ti BOOST Superclocked video card’s performance is incredible and comes close to the GTX 660 performance in some of the latest and most intense games such as Crysis 3 and Battlefield 3. Leaving the GTX 650Ti, and even the recently released AMD HD7790 far behind.
We got our hands on a second NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 graphics card, so we can see how it performs in 2-way SLI! The only thing better than one GeForce GTX 680 is running two of them together right? The focus of this article will be from the single monitor point of view, so we'll be bringing you performance numbers at 2560x1600, 1920x1080 and 1280x1024 to show you how this setup performs.
The MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5 video card looks great on paper, but how well does that custom Cyclone cooler do in the real world? We take this factory overclocked video card from 725MHz on the GF104 'Fermi' GPU core well past 900MHz, so it looks like it is the real deal. Read on to see what MSI has done with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1GB video card with their custom cooled N460GTX Cyclone!
