NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470: 6 Months Late, Was It Worth the Wait?

HAWX
Ubisoft’s aerial action game is one of the less demanding games in our benchmark suite, particularly for the latest generation of cards. However it’s fairly unique in that it’s one of the few flying games of any kind that comes with a proper benchmark.
So far, NVIDIA’s leads keep increasing. With HAWX we’re up to a 20-35% lead for the GTX 480, and a 7-30% lead for the GTX 470. On the SLI/CF front however we have a slightly different story. NVIDIA is still in the lead, but their lead ends up shrinking here compared to the more demanding lead a single card has.

Get a sound card fr audiomcnabney - Saturday, March 27, 2010 - link
A sound card that will provide Bitstream HD audio will require another $200+, so that tacks on an even higher net-price for Nvidia.All of AMD's 5XXX cards give you real HD audio for free.

An excellent article Ryan. I loved seeing Ujesh's response recaptured like that, so fitting for this epic fail. Well crafted review though..just4U - Friday, March 26, 2010 - link
I agree an excellent article overall. I wonder if Amd will move and try and get price drops in play on their cards now. Afterall they are still selling far above their suggested sales price.formulav8 - Friday, March 26, 2010 - link

"Peak 64-bit FP execution rate is now 1/2 of 32-bit FP, it used to be 1/8 (AMD's is 1/5)."AMDs is 2/5, not 1/5. Otherwise.. still reading ;)
