LATEST REVIEWS"MSI GeForce 9800 GT review also featuring the XFX GeForce 8800 GT. The MSI GeForce 9800 GT has a 10% higher clock speed than the XFX GeForce 8800 GT and 6% higher memory speed. The MSI GeForce 9800 GT and XFX GeForce 8800 GT both have 112 Pixel Shaders." "The Inno3D GeForce 9800 GTX+ has 16% higher clock speed and 10% higher memory speed than the Gainward Radeon HD 4850. The Gainward Radeon HD 4850 however has over six times the pixel shading advantage with 800 Pixel Shaders compared to the Inno3D GeForce 9800 GTX+ 128 Shaders." "Gainward Radeon HD 4870 review which we are comparing to the Gainward Radeon HD 4850. The Gainward Radeon HD 4870 is a powerful video card with 800 Shaders for amazing gaming performance. The Gainward Radeon HD 4870 also features advanced GDDR5 memory running at 3600 Mhz DDR which is 45% faster than the Gainward Radeon HD 4850." "The Gainward Radeon HD 4850 is a pixel shading powerhouse boasting 800 Unified Shaders compared to 320 with the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 which means that the Gainward Radeon HD 4850 has 60% more shading power. However the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 is using powerful GDDR4 memory and the Gainward Radeon HD 4850 is using slower GDDR3 memory. Another advantage for the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 is the 20% higher GPU speed compared to the Radeon HD 4850." "The MSI GeForce 9600 GT OC has a 15% higher clock speed than the XFX GeForce 8800 GT and 6% higher memory speed. MSI GeForce 9600 GT OC has a Pixel Shading disadvantage with 43% less Pixel Shaders. How will the disadvantage of the 43% less pixel shaders effect performance?" "The XFX GeForce 8800 GT has a 23% lower clock speed than the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870, 20% less memory speed and the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 is using fast GDDR4 memory while the XFX GeForce 8800 GT is using GDDR3 memory. The XFX GeForce 8800 GT also has a Pixel Shading disadvantage with 65% less Pixel Shaders." "Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 review featuring the powerful Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 video card from ATI. The Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 is compared to Sapphire Radeon x1950 XT which the Sapphire 3870 replaces." "Sapphire Radeon x1950 Pro 512MB review also featuring the Connect3D Radeon x1950 Pro, Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO and Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO. Benchmarked with 3dmark 2001 SE, 3dmark 2003, 3dmark 2005, 3dmark 2006, Prey, Doom3 and Quake4." |
