Nvidia GeForce Graphic Cards performance Chart
Nov 15th
ATI‘s Radeon series graphic cards have a simple linear kind of naming. It’s easy to guess the performance of an ATI card by just looking at its name.
On the other hand, selecting an Nvidia card for your desktop can be a headache, thanks to their confusing naming hierarchy (used to be much better when the series went as 8600GT, 8800GT, 9800GT etc…). With the present naming system it is just impossible to make up a chart in your mind to find a rough performance of the card. This performance chart from the GeForce website could help you find the right card for your PC. Make sure to get it printed and keep it with you when you go out shopping for an Nvidia GPU.

ATI HD5970 – Worlds most powerful GPU
Dec 8th
- Image via Wikipedia
The launch of ATI HD5970 marked the introduction of the most powerful dx11 based graphics processing unit (GPU) in the market. ATI now monopolizes the GPU market by providing more affordable cards and also the most powerful ones. At the launch time it was priced around 600$, varying for overclock versions. It is about a feet long (12.5 inches, that is huge for a GPU), probably the longest one in the market, not considering nVidia‘s quadro series.
The net performance of some overclocked versions reaches close to 5.0 Tera flops, or 5 trillion floating operations per second. A factory edition does around 4.6 teraflops. Number of stream processors are 1600X2. This can run every game presently available at full HD resolutions ie 1080p, with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering beefed up to the max at playable frame rates. To utilize its full potential you’ll need a monitor that supports atleast full HD. To avoid CPU bottle-necking intel core i7 processor is a must!

ATI HD4850 my GPU
May 7th
1. For those who keep on asking me about my GPU. It is ATI radeon HD4850 which belongs to the ATI HD4800 series- the best ATI ever made and has memory 512Mb DDR3.
DDR5- The higher data rates supported by GDDR5 (up to 5x that of GDDR3 and 4x that of GDDR4) enable more bandwidth over a narrower memory interface, which translates into superior performance delivered from smaller, more cost-effective chips. Leave aside your ram at DDR2 then.
2. To make it clear for those who keep on asking me its ‘memory’. FYI memory is not the final spec which describes the GPU’s performance. The GPU is tested under practical conditions and the frame rates are measured at different resolutions and detail levels. Anti-ailiasing(AA) and anisotropic filtering(AF) are other details switched either on or off depending on the test.
3. For people who do not appreciate its power, I have given some of its specs, pics and benchmarks below (copied from various sources). You can locate the name HD4850 in the benchmarks map. Then try the same test with your GPU.
SPECS: The Radeon 4850 is based on the RV770PRO graphics processor and will be combined with 512 MB GDDR3 memory in this retail configuration. The GPU is clocked at 625 MHz and the memory at 2000 MHz.
The following is the benchmark for Crysis played at 1920X1200 resolution with no antiailiasing. And the numbers on the bar indicate the frame rate.
