Xbit NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 and 260: Gaming Performance Review
Our study of the theoretical potential of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 200 graphics architecture showed that these new solutions are pretty promising, however, have a few issues of their own. The test session in contemporary games should cross all t’s and dot all i’s on this matter.
The GeForce GTX 200 graphics architecture had been announced a couple of days before the ATI Radeon HD 4800. As you already know from our reviews, NVIDIA’s new GPUs were developed following a different strategic concept than the competitor’s chips. While AMD’s graphics department ATI focused on simple and relatively inexpensive GPUs combining them into multi-GPU configurations when necessary, NVIDIA did everything to create the highest-performance monolithic core of the new generation. That’s what the G200 is.
