GeForce GTX 285: 55nm Enabling Higher Performance

Fallout 3 Performance
Fallout 3 is our replacement for Oblivion, but we see a lot more data compression here. Despite the fact that framerates were perfectly capable of rising beyond even 120 frames per second, our test seems fairly system limited at under 80 frames per second. We'll do what we can in the meantime but we will be looking for a better test going forward.
Despite the limitations, at 2560x1600 we do see some separation in the single card arena. The GTX 285 does pull ahead of the original GTX 280 and the Radeon HD 4870 1GB. The Radeon HD 4870 X2 does still lead the GTX 285 though. And there is just nothing we can determine about the SLI and CrossFire solutions with this data. But here are the rest of the numbers for those who want them.

Here, take a look at the power useage:.

There you see the SICKNESS in all it's silicon cooking glory... the 4870x2, the 4850x2 AND the 3870x2 ALL COMSUME MORE POWER THAN THE GTX295(x2) .
Just look at that CRAP.....
.
Now it's time to say WHAT HASN'T BEEN SAID:
.
Since the 4870/4870x2/512/1024/2048 are all on a SMALLER silicon die - and all have a HIGHER core clockspeed, and ALL have mroe electricity surging through them, all causing MORE HEAT ... with those smaller cores FILLED UP WITH DATA and electricity more often at a DENSER level - guess what's coming ? !? !
It's only been 5 months- and SOON - the 4870 monsters - due to ELECTROMIGRATION - are going to start BURNING OUT...
.
YES BURN OUT TIME FOR THE SMALLER ATI CORES IS COMING SOON TO A RIG NEAR YOU !
.
lol - Another gigantic POINT - the raging reds have for 5 months never considered.... never brought up - never talked about...
.
I can HARDLY WAIT till the failures start hitting hard.. in bigger and bigger numbers - it's inevitable.

I really hope that you get curb-stomped. It'd be hilarious to see you
begging for help, and then someone stomps on the back of your head,
leaving you to die in horrible, agonizing pain. *beep*
Shut the *beep* up f aggot, before you get your face bashed in and cut
to ribbons, and your throat slit.

The 4870 uses more power in idle - look at the power charts." No power savings" = 4870
Gosh I am really sick of the lies.
How did you manage to get yourself to spew that out ?
The 285 is lower in idle than a 260 which also beats the 4870.
"no power savings" = deranged redfan.

I still would like to know if the GTX285/295 support Hybrid SLI -> Hybrid Power...Daeros - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
AFIK, the entire GTX2XX line dropped hybrid power. The only cards that support it are the high-end 9XXX cards.sam187 - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
The GTX260/280 also support it:http://www.nvidia.com/object/hybrid_sli_desktop.ht...">http://www.nvidia.com/object/hybrid_sli_desktop.ht...

wow, I totally missed that. sorryAberforth - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
man, some of these reviews are getting very generic and boring day by day, you take pictures of a product at different angles and do the number game, maybe it's because the technologies and innovations these days are becoming so forced and profit oriented.GaryJohnson - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
As opposed to the before time or the long long ago when technology was all about mystery and wonder?Aberforth - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
