With the release of the new NVIDIA GTX-280/260 class of GPUs we see that rare time when enthusiasts and graphics lovers are avidly following the developments and performance of the “New Generation” video cards. Around this time there’s always a lot of speculation about the previous generation and how it compares to the current generation. There’s always a generous amount of truth, a modest amount of speculation, and a dash or two of hype to spice up the debate.

We at Bjorn3D have been in the thick of the Graphics Revolution for more than 10 years and seen the latest and greatest released to much fanfare on a lot of occasions. Some of the events were mere rehashes of the old architecture with a few bugs worked out and a higher clock and memory speed here and there. Those events were more the computer industries habit of using 20/20 hindsight to get a product that was well done perfected to what, in a more perfect world, it should have been to begin with.
