We know who
the daddy is when it comes to single-card graphics performance, and we've even witnessed NVIDIA and ATI
duking it out with multiple cards before, but this here roundup is what you might call
comprehensive. Comparing a mind-boggling 23 different configurations, the
Tech Report guys set out to determine the best bang for your DirectX 11 buck. Their conclusion won't shock those of you who've been following the recent love affair
between reviewers and NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 460: a pair of these eminently affordable cards regularly outpaced the best single-GPU solutions out there. Slightly more intriguing, however, was the discovery that its elder siblings, the
GTX 470 and 480, have improved in performance to the point of being markedly ahead of
ATI's Radeon HD 5870, with the blame for this shift being put squarely on the shoulders of NVIDIA's driver update team. Hurry up and give the source a read while it's still fresh, we can't imagine ATI letting this be the status quo for too much longer.
