Last summer the nVidia GT200 core cards, the GTX 260 and GTX 280, were relatively new and expensive. Now, more than a year later, the GT200 core is still nVidia's top-dog, but the cost of entry to this level of performance has dropped significantly. With the advent of newer, faster cards such as the GTX 275 and 285, the now lowly but revamped, die-shrunk 260 can be had for well under the $200 mark, or even less for the original 65nm, 192sp core cards. It's one of these cards, basically identical to our original EVGA GTX 260 from last year, that we've got from our friends over at Geeks.com for comparison today. Join me as I take a look at a modern SLI implementation and see if two cards really are better than one.
As we mentioned before the GTX 590 is the world's fastest GPU, but what makes it the fastest GPU?? Is it a mystery chip discovered in the basement graphics lab? Or is it an innovative product that leverages the best that nVidia has to offer in a compact package? Actually, it's a little of both.
The GTX 650 Ti is available in two models, 1GB or 2GB, and today we have a selection of overclocked 2GB models on our test bench. We will be testing the 2GB Overclocked GTX 650 Ti’s against the comparable Radeon in a selection of games including Borderlands 2, Dishonored and Battlefield 3.
Nvidia promised the GeForce GTX 660 Ti to be a graphics card that is ideally suited to gamers who play on a single full hd screen. After our extensive tests, we have to agree. With the exception of Metro 2033 all games we tested with are eminently playable at full hd resolution using high quality settings. Often the best possible settings combined with 4x AA still resulted in playable frame rates. If you want sufficient performance in full hd under any circumstance at any setting, you still have to dig deeper into your wallet for a card like the GTX 680. If you don't mind to occasionally turn down the settings just a little, the GTX 660 Ti is an excellent choice.
NVidia introduced SLI as a scalable way to increase video performance and it does so by adding more GPUs to an existing system. Depending on the GPU you can link up to four of them together with the sweet spot resting somewhere between two and three.
Just this past week I was away on vacation, I came back to a stack of boxes with most of them being video cards. This time, most of them are a new model from Nvidia. Just like with other big launches, the Nvidia GTX 780 was quickly followed up by the GTX 770. To continue filling in gaps in their product line that the GTX 780 launch created Nvidia is launching the GTX 760 that will replace the GTX 660 Ti. Today we are going to take a look at the new GTX 760 and see what it is all about as well as seeing what it is capable in our test suite. The GTX 780 and GTX 770’s were both impressive, I am very curious to see what they will be following them up with.
Last week we saw the release of NVIDIA's latest graphics range - namely the 700 series and its top model, the GTX 780. In many respects the GTX 780 brings a whole new level of performance to a greater audience and as I showed, there is only a small difference between the 780 and Titan on a single screen.
Working through the new 700 series line-up, NVIDIA are now lifting the lid on their next card, the GTX 770. Like the GTX 780, the GTX 770 has had many rumours surrounding its release and like the 780, these are all related to specifications, performance and most of all the GK104 core and a GTX 680. Like the GTX 780 I first of all want to put one of these rumours to rest and state the reason why. The one that I am referring to is the speculation that GTX680 owners would be able to turn their card into a GTX 770 through a BIOS update. Simply put this CANNOT be done. Whilst both cards share the same GK104 GPU core, there are a number of factors that lead to this impossibility. Like the 780 to Titan comparison, the GTX 770 has a slightly different revision of the GK104 core with varying number s of CUDA cores and texture units, however the most significant factor for the inability to 'convert' the GTX680 lies with the on-board memory.
One of NVIDIA's major shouting points with the GTX770 is the inclusion of memory that runs at a whopping 7Gbps at stock, these are no overclocked ICs either, they are entirely new, so unless you have the ability to unsolder and resolder the ICs on to a GTX 680 as well as change the PCB layout slightly, there is no possibility of changing your card from one to the other.
Last week we took a look at the Nvidia GTX 780, their first card in the 700 series of cards. Surprisingly I am sitting here a week later already telling you about their next card: the GTX 770. Is the combination of the GTX 780 and GTX 770 a one-two punch or a hit and a miss? Well in order to find out we had to put it through our benchmark suite to see what it was capable of. I enjoyed the GTX 780; I hope they are able to keep it up with the GTX 770.
Suite à la sortie des GTX Titan et des GTX 780, tout le monde attendait assez logiquement la GTX 770. C’est dorénavant fait, Nvidia nous propose la GTX 770 ; il nous tarde donc de pouvoir donner un avis sur cette nouvelle venue. En effet, cette carte sacralise presque toute l’attente des utilisateurs. Elle sera proposée à un tarif plus abordable que ses aînées et représente l’évolution directe de l’ancienne GTX 680, carte qui possédait déjà des performantes très intéressantes. Toutefois, certains décrient les caractéristiques proches de la GTX 680 et en se posant des questions sur un simple rebadgage. Vous allez voir que cette GTX 770 nous réserve de belles surprises.
GTX 770 is based on an earlier GPU, GK104, which powered both the GTX 680 and popular GTX 670. We had the opportunity to review the GTX 670 OC from Gigabyte last year and will see how that card stacks up to the next generation.
