Graphics Card Comparison Review: DirectX 11 – ATI Radeon & nVidia GeForce

ATI Radeon HD 5870

[CHIP Editor] In addition to faster, detail drawings and color is even more superior. After a long delay, nVidia graphics card finally comes to seize the throne as king in the high-end Direct X 11.

Competition ATI (AMD) and Nvidia in GPU graphics cards dominate the market has taken place in recent years. Temperature competition between the two re-heating, especially in carrying the best graphics card supporting API (Application Programming Interfaces) latest Microsoft DirectX 11 graphics. Both ATI and nVidia are both optimistic to achieve major gains in the new field of graphics card. So you do not completely swallow “round object” claim both, CHIP try to see objectively what is offered by GPU-based graphics card to their latest high-end, ATI Radeon HD 5870 and nVidia GeForce GTX 480.

As an early start, CHIP technical data comparing two reference card, such as size, transistors, and clock speed. For a long card, plus points awarded on the nVidia GTX 480 (26.7 cm) is shorter (although not much different) than the ATI HD 5870 (28.2 cm). Both are manufactured using 40 nanometer manufacturing technology (nm). ATI graphics chip (Cypress) measuring 334 mm2, while the nVidia (GF100) measuring 530 mm2. Because the size of the chip can be used as an early indication of the relatively high temperature and less economical production costs (resulting product price is more expensive), plus points awarded for ATI with the Radeon HD 5870.

CHIP switch to different features offered. GF100 carrying the 480 CUDA chip core / shader computing units (in the configuration of 15 × 32 units Shader multiprocessor). The Cypress ATI chip (RV870) that carries the 1600 SP (Stream Processor) in the 320 shader units plus more to get points. Judging from the clock speed of the chip, both are relatively balanced. ATI chip clock speed (850 versus 700 MHz) is superior, but the shader clock speed of nVidia (1401 versus 850 MHz) is far more superior. On ATI, the clock speed of memory (2400 versus 1848 MHz) this time is superior. However, CHIP give plus points for nVidia because GTX 480 video memory design that carries the 1.5 GB of GDDR5 (HD 5870 only has 1 GB of GDDR5). CHIP conclude the technical specifications of both graphics balanced (2:2). Thus, the final decision still depends on performance, price, power consumption, and noise level.

Both support the latest standards of API DirectX 11 and Shader Model 5.0. Thus, CHIP may make direct comparisons through a series of benchmarks. In the 3DMark Vantage test, GF100 reach 16,419 points, which means that outperformed the ATI Cypress (15,112 points).
