PC video game enthusiasts have depended on two companies to deliver graphics power for their computer system: NVIDIA and ATI. While it’s convenient for NVIDIA to enjoy fan favoritism for the past decade, ATI has recently enjoyed strong sales and a decisive head-start on the growing DirectX-11 consumer market over the past six months (as evidenced by our unbelievably long list of recent video card reviews).

The ATI Radeon HD 5000 series has earned AMD new respect, but many inside the industry have impatiently waited on NVIDIA to respond with their fabled GF100 Fermi DX11 architecture. At long last, NVIDIA’s Fermi is a reality.

At the center of every new technology is purpose, and NVIDIA has designed their Fermi GF100 GPU with an end-goal of redefining the video game experience through significant graphics processor innovations. Disruptive technology often changes the way users interact with computers, and the GeForce GTX-480 graphics card is a complex tool built to arrive at one simple destination: immersive entertainment. Priced at $499, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 empowers DirectX-11 video games to deliver unmatched geometric realism. In this article Benchmark Reviews tests 3D frame rate performance of NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 480, and demonstrates how well Fermi architecture fits in with GeForce 3D Vision.
