GeForce GTX 480 PCI-Express Scaling
NVIDIA's latest beast offers unprecedented performance to the enthusiast gamer. But it also requires massive amounts of data being fed to it to perform. That's why it is commonly expected that high-end graphics cards are crippled if the PCI-Express interface does not offer the maximum speed of x16 2.0. We test four different PCI-E configurations and their performance to shine light on this question.Read more
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 series preview
With so much rendering horsepower at its disposal, it's more than welcome news to see NVIDIA focusing on 8x multi-sample anti-aliasing with their new high-end parts, and in the chart above we can see the company's claims that 8x MSAA suffers a far smaller performance hit with the GeForce GTX 400 series compared to the GeForce GTX 200 series illustrated for your perusal. With support for up to 32x Coverage Sample anti-aliasing to add to the mix, you certainly shouldn't be left wanting in terms of image quality improvements from this generation of hardware.Read more
SLI scaling is also improved for this new generation of hardware, with 90% scaling expected of many titles thanks to improvements to both caching and compression within the GF100 architecture. Needless to say, 3-way SLI is still supported at the high-end, and we should also be seeing Quad SLI making an appearance further down the line according to NVIDIA.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 GF100 DX11 Video Card Review @ Legit Reviews
Heat and power aside, the GeForce GTX 480 graphics card is impressive as they took the single GPU performance crown back from ATI and that was no easy task. They also improved the GPGPU performance over the previous generation core by a fair amount. Seeing F@H performance jump up nearly 70% was amazing, but at the same time the power and heat increases took the fun out of that performance increase. Having waited this long for Fermi to come out, I personally expected a little different user experience and many of you might have as well...Read more

Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 Review: Fermi Arrives
After a lengthy delay we are finally able to show you what Nvidia has been working on for the past few years. As you may know, the GeForce GTX 280 was Nvidia's last big launch in 2008 that comprised of innovative technology, at the time rewriting the record books as the fastest single-GPU graphics card. Besides the dual-GPU GeForce GTX 295 that went on sale months later, anything after the GTX 280 has been a rehash of the same GT200b graphics core.Read more
The company battled it out against the ATI Radeon HD 4800 series, which had some good performers but was somewhat light on firepower. Long story short, last September ATI was already shipping brand new parts that were faster and more efficient, while Nvidia wasn't giving out any specific details on Fermi. These new Radeons became the first products to steal the performance crown away from Nvidia in a long time, and they did so in a very convincing fashion.
Now Nvidia is finally ready fire back with a new piece of graphics silicon aimed at consumers and the enthusiast crowd based on its latest Fermi architecture, code-named GF100. The new series will debut with the GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470 graphics cards. Designed to be the next evolution in GPU computing, we are excited to see what these new boards are
capable of, and whether or not they'll be able to bring Nvidia back into the spotlight.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 DirectX 11 Video Card Review @ Hi Tech Legion
In the past a GPU lacked the technology to render life like images as well as realistic scenery. We were used to seeing polygons which made things appear to be realistic but just didn't have the overall look and feel. With technological advances which include Tessellation and Ray Tracing images are more realistic, lighting can cast shadows, hair flows as if it were being blown in a breeze (and looks like real hair), buildings blow up into a million pieces and interact with the characters. This is all due to technology and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 DirectX 11 Video Card is one of the most technologically advanced video cards to date.Read more
Nvidia GTX 480 Review @ OCC
ATI has filled its product stack from top to bottom so nVidia has its work cut out for itself, filling up its stack to compete with ATI at all price points. To achieve this, nVidia built a scalable architecture that uses GPU clusters so you can drop clusters (four on the GTX 480) to reach a performance and price point. It will be interesting to see how nVidia fills out its DirectX 11 portfolio. All things considered, nVidia stepped up to the plate (albeit rather late) and delivered gaming performance with visual quality. While the cards do not hit stores until the week of April 12, nVidia has assured us of an ample supply of cards available on launch.Read more
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 (Fermi) @ InsideHW
Six months have passed since the first DirectX 11 accelerator seeing the light of day. ATI’s Radeon HD 5870 was presented on 23rd September 2009. After its appearance and the graduate fading of the media appraisal of the new standards and models, all eyes turned to Nvidia, impatiently waiting for a competitor. Unfortunately, as time went by with no response, Nvidia started to gather attention by some rather strange ways. First of all, an overblown secrecy surrounding the development of the new GPU which was supposedly on its way, supported by a “fishy” model of a supposed Fermi card by Nvidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun himself. A premature leak of “white paper” material followed, which is a rather awkward move in itself, although nvidia isn’t exactly new to the concept of “paper launch"…Read more
